Today was an interesting day. I’ll try to keep this as simply as possible. I asked for some advise on a few things and got some “pull the wind right out of me” questions. They were by No means meant to hurt my feelings in Any Way, but one of these questions pulled the wind right out of my sails. The question was simple; “what did you like to do as a kid?” Seems simple enough, right? Well, it sent my head spinning. The truth is that when I was a kid, if I wasn’t hiding in my house sitting in front of the tv, I was running for my life. I was running from people of both upper and lower class grades from me. There were days it was so bad, I had to hide from them under some old unused stairs of a big building in town and praying they wouldn’t see me, but they usually did. They may not have been able to get to me, because I was so much smaller, so they used their voice and chosen words to hurt and scar me on the inside. I discovered today that they broke my spirit over 30 years ago. In truth, I'm not sure how I got thru it, but I have a better understanding of why the tv is a safe place for me, it holds my sanity in place and keeps my creativity flowing. The simple answer to the question I guess is simple: I have NO clue what I liked to do when I was a kid.
Please, if you have school age kids or kids who are about to start school. Talk to them about kids who may be mean in many ways. Encourage them to go see a Teacher and Hear what they’re saying to you about what is going on in school and even off school grounds. Don’t let your kids go thru what I endured. Make sure their spirit stays healthy, happy and good.
I have to pull 26 hours at work in the next 3 days, so I won’t be around until Tuesday.
See you Tuesday & keep doing the work.
Hugs
