"See God, it ain't me.
They 'bout to start a world war,
I'm just tryna practice peace." - Leikeli47
"How the hell you walk outta Heaven?" - Leikeli 47
"LEARN A TRADE" - Me
"I. CHOOSE. LIFE!" - Ricci Oprah
To anyone reading, I've missed you.
If anyone out there is struggling with, well anything, I hope you can find the resources that are best, most comfortable and affordable to you.
I always recommend Al-Anon, as many of my listeners have heard before. I've yet to meet a person who doesn't "qualify" for the miraculous program it can be.
And I actually did end up finding tremendous help through Betterhelp.com by the way; that wasn't entirely a joke. So there's that, but it's very expensive.
Be kind to yourselves, be extra kind to children, and I'll talk to you very soon.
With infinite love to every person reading this, even you,
Robyn
p.s. THE AL-ANON PROMISES
from p. 269-270 "From Survival to Recovery"
“There is a charming quality, is there not,” he said to me, “in this silence; for hearts that are wounded, as mine is , a novelist whom you will read in time to come, claims that there is no remedy but silence and shadow. And see you this, my boy, there comes in all lives a time, towards which you still have far to go, when the weary eyes can endure but one kind of light; the light which a fine evening like this prepares for us in the stillroom of darkness, when the ears can listen to no music save what the moonlight breathes through the flute of silence.” - Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way.
"A solitary, unused to speaking of what he sees and feels, has mental experiences which are at once more intense and less articulate than those of a gregarious man. They are sluggish yet more wayward, and never without a melancholy tinge. Sights and impressions which others brush aside with a glance, a light comment, a smile, occupy him more than their due; they sink silently in, they take on meaning, they become experience, emotion, adventure. Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry." - Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
"Good feeling, won't you stay with me just a little longer?" - Violent Femmes
"I'll be so alone without you. Maybe you’ll be lonesome too." - Price, King & Stewart, You Belong to Me
