Portions of my life have been filled with torture.
I’ve never let that determine the amount of happiness
I could feel. That has always been up to me, even in the
darkest of times. Even when my happiness was the source
of desire to be owned; as a human filled with evil stirs
their mental pot trying in every way to destroy this light,
knowing the child will eventually surpass anything
they ever were, or tried to be, and the mornings filled with
sunshine escapes their greed; waiting is the damp dark empty
coffin which they constantly watch in their mind’s eye,
just for them, every very single day.

I apologize for the darkness. It’s connected to the phone call. It’s gotta come on our somehow.
Cheers everyone.

The periods of darkness we go through shape us far more than the periods of bliss we experience. There is no need to apologize for living and documenting about how we survived. Sending all the best ✨

Thanks for saying so. I’ll most likely take this post down. Not sure why I even wrote it. Happens sometimes, I’m sure and hope you understand. Cheers

Matt, this is so real. I love it. Life isn’t filled with sunshine and roses. It’s great how many uplifting, encouraging things you write that make me lift my chin a little higher. But the truth is that many of us had moments of torture. It’s the ability to stand up and keep living and refuse to be defined by it that makes us able to not be victims of our history but conquerers instead. Because of the pain we find a way to truly measure and appreciate the joy. Thanks for being vulnerable. Damn hard to do.

I always enjoy how authentic you are. It’s nice when someone is what they are both on and offline. So, thanks for that. Not sure how long I’ll let this post stay up. Glad you saw it before it’s gonzo.
