    we became the shadows of our old selves ..

    The only thing I have lost is me my oldself which I think the person I mention to be but always life takes u to exactly the other way round ,,,

    But hope , the strong will and the blessing of choice GOD gave us shall give us the tranquility to go forward our dreams to come true one day

    I feel the same right now. I think sometimes life throws things at us which makes us feel awfully alone. It isolates us from others and makes us feel trapped. It's better to reach out to others and talk it out but that's easier said then done as you feel nobody could possibly understand or that they will judge you.

    I too feel things VERY deeply and that trait alone can be very isolating I feel.



    I hope you start to find yourself again soon. These things take time I believe so go easy xx

    All that matters is the now. The past is constructed, the future is unreal, all that matters is now. Step out of your life, look at how you are feeling and behaving and laugh. Not a disrespectful laugh but a "sigh" laugh when you realize that all this time has been wasted on worry and fret. Take a walk, look around you, I mean really look.The animals and plants around you don't worry and fret. They continually laugh since they are in the moment for that is all we truly have!

    life is what we gather through experiences and by walking the uneven paths of this eternal journey. i can understand how life's rosy buds change into falling leaves after a time period, but you become mature and gain insights.....however it never helps that given a chance we often repeat ourselves...make same mistakes over and over again...over looking the fact that life has its own course to run..............it has its own unique way to extend wisdom or folly.....!!!!! so with age and with this game of loss and gain...........we just witness life!!!! you are a remarkable person and more i think about you more i feel you are blessed with a kind heart and whatever god has decided for you its gona be your share and your well deserve blessings.............!!!! take care and ya...............the loved one who happens to leave us are never actually gone...........they reside in our hearts and your mum will be proud of you...........!!!!

    The young Kay, full of optimism and joie de vivre, has given way to the Kay with life experience. But the young Kay is still there - it is just that (at present) she is shrouded in the pain that she has endured.



    She will emerge again - but the older Kay will need to nourish and support herself for this to happen. To do this she will need to:



    * accept the changes life brings

    * acknowledge that change brings wisdom with the pain and strength with the suffering

    * make choices that support KAY (not just those around her)

    * seek support from professional counselling to understand herself better and learn more about how to live her own life productively

    * forgive herself for not being perfect

    * recognise that the person in her own life whom she needs to put first is herself - once that happens, all the rest will follow. (And this is self preservation - not selfishness.)

    * love Kay unconditionally - do not wait to love her until she has achieved "perfection" - love the true Kay (warts and all!)



    Gradually that young Kay will reassert herself. And as she does, she will bring with her the learning, the wisdom and the self knowledge she has acquired along the way. And this Kay will be even more awesome than any that have gone before her!!!
