Monsters in the Night

Fear during and then anger, and sometimes fear again. But as everyone else, hes also just a fragile human. I wrote about broken pasts and how that helps me understand his behavior, that it helps me let go of anger, because there isn't much he can do about it, but that I also will never accept it, since no matter how ill, he might be... he never had the right to treat me that way.

Yes, he had a very broken home, and no stability, but he also chose to not deal with his past or with the problems in his own behavior. He was too sick for that, his unrealistic ego stood in the way. And during the years, as I told in the earlier posts, I got to see his reaction when he was confronted by his own mistakes, when I again had to tell him what he had done and beg him to change. He couldn't take it, blamed me for blaming and confronting him, for bringing up the past (and the past could have been yesterday and most likely would be the next..) Why did I have to be so mean, why couldn't I just forget, did I have to be so emotional about it ? He could cry. But he couldn't change. And probably never will.

When in a relationship like this, and with a person like him, you get to see, hear and experience things that you never that you would or could, afterwords it`s really easy to start questioning Everything around you. Who can you trusts ? What is real? And no I don't mean that his way of thinking got me to think that the World and Universe are the way he thinks they are. But sometimes you feel like you really don't know anymore, what if there really is something evil out there? And what about the guys I meet, how do I know that their not all like that? Could they be worse?

You can easily start to see monsters around you.

But, there are no monsters, just people who are really ill and who often come from very difficult backgrounds. Even after him I've meet a few of these people, and I used to be afraid, afraid of them but also afraid that the next person I meet is going to be like that. I'm aware that people who been through this once have a very high possibility to drag similar people to them once again, it is scary, but true.

But I've learnt to read them faster, I've learnt to grow stronger, And I've learnt to let go.
Today I can say No with confidence.

Sometimes it might feel like theres monsters in the night, but once we get clarity we realize that their just human. Grow to be a stronger one and you know that You can take them.

Sending some light into the night ;)

Go - Do it for You (about the fear of solo-travel, not about crossing the Serengeti)

Solo-travel and exploring on your own often seems to be something that's considered too big of  an hurdle, an  uncomfortable area we`d rather avoid. As wolves we are more comfortable in a pack. I used to think like this myself. The thing is however, that we often (as singles in a busy world) find ourselves alone when we would have the time for an adventure. Schedules don't fit.  - Then there's of-course the differences in interests as well, and as being without a partner no one is  "obligated" (please take with sarcasm :D) to go with you on your holiday to extraordinary locations and events.  But hey, that said; - what a perfect time for you to do exactly what you always dreamed of ! All I want to say is go for it.   Don't sit around waiting for "maybe another time" due to the fear, and I'm not talking about the fear of being scared that something might happen on the way (that doesn't seem to be the first thing that pops into

Grandpas legacy

My grandpa passed away some years ago. For a long time during my teenage years and some into adulthood I felt light-years away from him, in our morals and teachings to follow. I was only looking at him like a priest, with his bible, a hungry need for being in the spotlight (he was a well liked radio host, preacher, author, playwright, ceremony holder, documentary film maker, pilgrim arranger, met the pope once- you name it). When I was feeling down at the age of 17 he wrote me a letter about watching more of TV7 (a local conservative evangelical christian channel), he told me it made his days brighter and that I should try it too. PS. He was not conservative, I think. We never talked much- not really. He had 3 grandchildren.  I do not think that he ever really knew me, and neither did I take my time to view him as a person behind the priesthood which he so often talked about . But when I look back on him now- as I found myself and stand supported, I can see past the job he had chosen (

To all my busy friends, show up in my life too- it matters

I would run cartwheels right where I stood if you showed up at my doorstep, if you suddenly sat in the audience during my Indian dance or Improv theater performance.  I would remember it forever if you showed up at the airport to say goodbye for now or welcome back,  I would love for you to ask me where in the world I am at.  I would love for you to reach out to me and ask us to read the same book simultaneously and then meet over coffee to share our thoughts, It doesn't take much time out of your schedule or much effort of sorts, just a suggestion, a thought.  I would love to go out for a joint run or jog- maybe for once right here in my hood- you could use my studio apartments little one person shower,  My home, my little wonderful life- You know you are welcome here too.  Meet me in my life, see where I live and what I do, it might not be marriage and children, or a big suburban house with a yard, but it is me, your friend- still hanging on at the other end.  Someone who shows u
