Life in a Shell

SD2713, Wonderfully written. Though I'm not in your situation but could connect with your feelings when you say emptiness. Despite having many a things the way we wanted or the way we doesn't wanted it to be, this kind of feelings some times stuck to us.

Apart from your feelings, the way you have expressed and written is so good and while reading I was thinking in myself that she will come out of this emptiness and can see the world around her as picture perfect even though it is not so. And you have said the same thing at the end. Loved it. It is a process all of us go through at one or other time.

Keep writing and sharing with us.

 

Hi SD
I understand you are just writing this during one of the low moments in our lives. We all go through this unexplained morose thoughts sometimes and we think others are the reason for our unhappiness.

Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly felt very weepy for no reason. Suddenly it was gone.

There is a song I like very much:

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin?for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Find happiness in your two toddlers. Keep thinking positive thoughts.
Looking forward to seeing more happy posts from you here.

 

Dear HD,
This too shall pass!
The longest night becomes the day!
This too shall pass!
Cheer up and be positive!
Wishing you all the best to come out of your shell!

Dear SD 2713,

You are able to express so well about your thoughts. Keep writing whenever you can.

Are we really restricted to the boundaries of the four walls and for that matter our body? The mind is a borderless tool that can get you to the peak of the mountain overlooking the beautiful green valley down or take you to the bottom of the sea and make us drown vehemently trying to breath. The real challenge is to keep it steady and don't allow that to go through violent swings. But, you should never resist the emotions associated with your thoughts but make the mind steady as quickly as possible.

Stay focused on the beauty of those two toddlers rather than thinking about the help you don't seem to get. It is important to raise up every time you fall and how many times you fall is not important. Accept the life as it comes whether they are pleasure and pain and manage them competently. Take a deep breathe every time you are hit with thoughts that tire you up.

Imagine your heart as a fountainhead that is capable of showering the love to the fellow human beings. Use your mind as a tool to unlock the restrain to this fountainhead. Keep pouring love to the fellow human beings around you and make them soak in your love. That aspect of what they see make them reciprocate and help them unlock their fountainhead.

God gave a large vessel full of tasty food with a long wooden spoon to stir it and asked two set of people to enjoy the food. He came back after a week and found one set of people tired and hungry as they didn't know how to take food out with the long wooden spoon. The other set of people were happy and satisfied because they fed each other with that long wooden spoon. One place is known as hell and other is known as heaven.

Never give up on unconditional love. Let that flow and time will change everything. Let God bless you with a lot of peace and happiness.

Wonderful..absolutely wonderful! I felt as if I was reading my own state of mind sometimes! How well you play with words- "cooperatively uncooperative other half" -Priceless!

I want to write more,but have to take this post and go somewhere else.Where -you'll know soon enough!

Please keep writing !

 

Dear SD,,


I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Please, do not think I am sadistic to say I enjoyed when you talk about depression! Further, I also read these words of your's in you reply above---" It’s just a rainy/gloomy day which comes and goes in everyone’s life. It is not permanent. Or maybe I like this bit of writing and wanted to display the same " Hence I knew what you wrote about is a passing phase which most of us go through at times with or without reason!



You have a great style of writing! "After the rain I simply want to fly out like a bird and reach its limit or fly till my wings break", " a cooperatively uncooperative other half", "Traces of hope to bloom and flourish still resides, makes the spine strong to stand again" Just to quote a few lines which make the snippet a delightful one to read!



The last para gives me the confidence to trust that SD is not just going to be bogged down with clouds and rain outside or inside of her shell and she is capable of seeing and catching that rainbow hidden in between them!


There is also a reason for you to celebrate because when racr left your post so abruptly, she went straight to the FP forum and nominated it for the Finest Post of the Month. Congratulations!
