Hi everyone, I'm Tracy, I live in Scotland and I'm currently training to be an End of Life Doula (sometimes known as Soul Midwife) Are there any other EOL Doulas in the group?

Hello! I saw the angel number 444 so I knew I had to reply when I saw this topic. First I want to say that it takes a lot of courage to talk about mental illnesses and addiction. I have also had a long life of being told I was mentally unwell. Then after my failed marriage, I was introduced to drugs at 28 years old. So I completely understand. I loved that you said our illnesses give us super powers! I used to believe that. Lol now I can see that we all have gifts and powers BUT it's a matter of choosing to see and wanting then, learning and practicing, and then using them to help others. It sounds like you are/have been experiencing a spiritual awakening. And/or an ego death/dark of the soul. I have been through these myself. It can be so painful but also so enlightening and liberating at the same time. My last one occurred when I had felt abandoned by literally the whole planet. Not a soul to turn to. I now know that this was all part of my soul mission. I knew I had to back myself so far into a corner that I'd have no choice but to look within and when I did, I found the universe, spirit, God. Whatever term you'd like to use. I have learned so much about myself and I now know that since I understand myself, I can better understand others, and ultimately the world. I just wanted to tell you that the super powers you have, you were born with. It just took the universe shaking your life down the foundation for you to gain a different perspective and begin to build from the ground up. The spiritual journey isn't for the weak of heart or mind. It is a true test of FAITH! Congratulations and continue keeping that positive attitude!! It will take you wherever your heart desires!

I think it’s safe to say that acquiring material things aren’t making us any happier. In fact, stress and depression are more common now than ever before. We live in a world where consumption has become an addiction. It’s all about the getting the newest, latest or biggest, which distracts us from what really brings satisfaction and joy. I sometimes look around my apartment and think, “how did I accumulate so much crap?!”. I also often dream about being in place and when I have to leave, I struggle with packing my luggage because I just have SO. MUCH. STUFF! I remember a happiness.com article from a while ago, stating the benefits of living a simple life, and earlier today, I saw someone reading the book Simplify Your Life: 100 Ways to Slow Down and Enjoy the Things That Really Matter. Has anyone here read that book? Now, I’d like to know HOW to live a more simple life and where does one actually begin? I suppose making small manageable changes in the beginning is a good start. What are some of the ways we could all live simpler lives and focus on what really matters, such as our health and well-being, our mental health, and family and friend relationships? All and any tips on simple living and relevant books and other content welcome ?

I just read this thread on Quora, and thought it a great piece of advice to share: What are the lessons people most often learn too late in life? Sharyn Wolf (LCSW-R, Psychotherapist in private practice in New York City) writes the following: I am 67 years old. These are among the best things I have ever learned: You spend your first 20 years worrying what people think about you. You spend your next 20 years swearing that you don’t care what people think about you. You spend the next 20 years realising that they aren’t thinking about you. A liberation! Any day on this side of the dirt is a good day. Some people didn’t make the cut last night. I was hit by a speeding taxi as I was walking to a bus stop. I spent a month in rehab with two broken legs, a brain injury, multiple back injuries and other fractures. The night before I was hit, a young, married couple was also hit. They both died. Practice gratitude. A woman I know spends most of her time thinking about how much she hates her thighs. She can give you a detailed report on what is wrong with them. She forgets all the places those legs have taken her, all the miles they have walked for her. It doesn’t occur to her that when she gets up in the middle of the night to pee, those very thighs walk her to the toilet. Spend more time appreciating what you’ve got— a heart that beats, a way to pick up your cup of coffee, the eyes that see that cup and know what colour it is. Blessings abound. There are two kinds of people in this world – those who believe there is enough to go around, and those who don’t. Here is an example: If Margo is leaning up against the car kissing her boyfriend, and I think how nice that must feel, do I try to steal Margo’s boyfriend or do I go out and get my own boyfriend? I go out and get myself a boyfriend. I don’t need to steal Margo’s. I know that there is enough to go around. An old Native American woman was asked why she was always so happy. She said that she has two wolves in her heart and they are both hungry— one wolf is angry and evil, the other wolf is filled with love, and that's the only one she feeds. Happy Friday, everyone!

Hello. I am 22 and i am student. I would like to share my story and hear your thoughts on this topic. I met this student in university at first year of my studies. I will call him N. We were talking and hanging out very frenquently in first days of studies and we shared common interests, had a lot of themes for talk etc. Time has passed and all was well for us. We were inseparable.. we would go out eating together, walking together, making trips and future plans together... we have become really good friends. However, on may past year (we were finishing 3rd year of studies) all has gone wrong. As i was living in apartment and him in student dorm, we were usually hanging out at each other's place. On that day, it was around 11AM, he was at my place and we were finishing some project i had been working on for university. He started insulting me for no specific reason and we started arguing about some minor stuff. However, after i told him that he can't talk to me in that way and asked him to leave my room. He did what i thought he wouldn't do in my whole life.. he assaulted me. He pushed me down on nearby couch with all his strength and when i got up he started hitting me with his hands. I defended myself as i could and i barely pushed him away from me. While i was catching breath, i looked at skratches on my hands he made me when assaulting me. I was scared and furious at the same time becouse i couldn't go to university like that to present this project in that state and more importantly, that he assaulted me. I shouted to get out or i would call the police, but he was just standing near the door and insulting me, which i responded by getting phone ready and using bottle of water near me to get him out of my place. He quickly grabbed my hand and had me fall on the floor, hitting my head on nearby table (fortunately my head got without any injuries) and he managed to break my finger while i was falling. As i was laying on the floor trying to get concious, i remember him telling me: "oh come on, stop pretending just get up!" When i tried standing up, i didn't feel my little finger on right arm at all, i couldn't move it. I was in shock and he started shouting at me like it was my fault that all of it happened. When i told him that i will call police to arrest him, he knew that was going to happen and that he can finish in jail for what he has done. I told him to get out and leave me alone. Soon ambulance came and we went to hospital. He called it and went with me there without my consent. While i was waiting for report, he was waiting near hospital. When the doctors told me it is serious place where the bone broke and that even the surgery is risking, i just got out to get some fresh air and try to calm down. I informed my parents what has happened and they were driving to my student city where i was. When i and N returned to my apartment to wait my parents, N started crying and apologizing to me, saying he loves me more than brother, that i am special in his life and that his life without me isn't the same and that he doesn't know what he has gotten into him to do that. I told him to shut up and that he can stop sobbing becouse i won't tell my family what has he done to me. Not to save him from their wrath, but becouse of former years that were good and more importantly, to try to save everyone from further conflict between families. I decided to sacrifice myself for that solution which i meant in that moment was the best one. When my parents came, they were barely holding themselves together after they saw me. N was also there, calm as nothing happened. They immediately asked how that happened which i did not respond quickly. They asked him and he told them he doesn't know. I made up a story at the moment that i slipped and broke it while i was falling. It seemed they believed but i sensed they were suspecting something else happened. They then unknowingly thanked shameless N for "being there for me in that moment" as he was smiling and telling them he will always be there for me. This is where i coudn't stand it anymore and told him to return to dorm as my parents were driving me to capital city hospital for further analysis and treatment. He was sending me messages to ask how am i etc. in later hours, days, weeks, but i didn't answer it. Even if i did sometimes, it was very short becouse i coudn't stand him for realizing with what monster and psychopath i was hanging out this whole time. Time has passed, summer vacation also, i was going on treatments but the pain, both psysical and mental was intense. He gave up on contacting me anymore during summer vacation. Concerning my injury, even now after more than 8 months i go to the doctors to try any way we have to repair that finger and completely mend the place of trauma. When 4th year started, N was also there. We weren't communicating but as it was necessary at minimum as we were unfortunately still collegues. We were functioning also as we had been together in groups for projects by professors. All was going ok till N started making problems in my life again. He made up some stupid excuse to accuse me of lying to him and saying bad things about him to other our friends at university which is a total lie and i even told him that even if i didn't have to do that. He than started making a scene in dorm, which i ignored, he started saying bad things about me behind my back to our other friends, and i sensed something is wrong these days between me and some other friends like they were distancing a little bit from me and i am sure that shameless person is behind it.. who knows what lies he has told them about me. I am so confused why is this all happening, why i did not told my family everything from start, why can someone be so monsterous, ungrateful and hateful without any reason. Please try to understand me and give me some constructive help and i hope no one gets this to happen in his life. Take care and thank you.

There is a force in the universe that is active in us, and is a great resource in our quest for a animated life and a conscious world. this force exists and is with us — indeed, it is in us — making use of it hinges on a crucial factor: the nature of your mindset. What’s Wrong with our Mindset? Mindset, This is an embracing concept — it does not stand for a rigorously scientific view, nor does it stand for a purely fictional one. But it does stand for a view of the world that people can recognize as their own. This is an embracing view, encompassing the whole gamut of values and feelings associated with one’s beliefs and convictions regarding the nature of the world. In the current scientific literature, there is a more rigorous but also more limited concept: this is “paradigm.” Originally developed by philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn to describe the fundamental changes in physics wrought by the shift from the Newtonian view of physical reality, to the Einsteinian relativistic view, in the course of the past decades the concept of paradigm has acquired a wider meaning. It extends from the concept of physical reality to a general concept of what we hold to be the nature of reality. We can speak of a materialistic paradigm, a vitalistic paradigm, a classical Newtonian paradigm, or a new quantum-science paradigm. Whether we give it thought or not, we all hold some variety of paradigm, even if it is not consciously recognized and articulated. This is also true of the concept of “mindset.” We all dispose of some variety of mindset, and that mindset is active and influential for us whether we recognize it or not. There is something fundamentally wrong with the mindset of most people in the modern world. That mindset is antiquated and misleading. People holding it are focused on acquiring material goods and fostering their own wealth, power and influence. They adopt a wasteful and often ostentatious lifestyle. They think that individuals have little or no influence on the way the world is going, and so there is no real need for individuals to feel responsible for the way the world is actually going. Life is a struggle for survival, where the fittest survives. Popular wisdom such as “make the most of your opportunities and never mind what comes after you — you only go around once” and “the world out there is a jungle, so take care of your own interests, because nobody else will care for it” are fairly typical examples. This is how the mind of the typical modern person is set to perceive the world. The values and behaviors inspired by the modern mindset have led to critical conditions in our social, economic, and ecological systems. They have fractured the integrity of the human community, dividing it into we and others, drawing the line in reference to common interests, or competing and perhaps opposing interests. This creates competition and conflict, and gives rise to violence. It leads to an unsustainable world. If we the modern mindset doesn’t change and evolve, we endanger not just our own well-being, but the survival of our species, but also we endanger the survival of all beings on planet earth. How to Change Your Mindset — Start with yourself. But how do you go about it? The first step is to ask yourself some fundamental questions. How do you relate to people, society, and nature around you? Are you part of them, or are you outside and perhaps above them? The honest answer you give, testifies to the nature of your mindset. Adopting an up-to-date mindset is not a quixotic endeavor: The shift from competition to reconciliation and partnership: a change from relationships, organizational models, and societal strategies based on competition to relationships and models based on principles of healing, reconciliation, forgiveness, and male–female partnership. The shift from greed and scarcity to sufficiency and caring: a change in values, perspectives, and approaches from the traditional self-centered and greedy mode toward a sense of the sufficient and the interpers onal concern of caring. The shift from outer to inner authority: a change from reliance on outer sources of “authority” to inner sources of “knowing.” The shift from separation to wholeness: a recognition of the wholeness and interconnectedness of all aspects of reality. The shift from mechanistic to living systems: a shift of attention from models of organizations based on mechanistic systems to perspectives and approaches rooted in the principles that inform the world of the living. The shift from organizational fragmentation to coherent integration: a shift from disintegrative, fragmented organizations with parts set against each other to goals and structures integrated, so they serve both those who participate in the organizations and those around them.

Something happened to me that I have to talk about. I had the worst nightmare in my entire life. I was at my own funeral and I was watching myself be buried and I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to accomplish in my life. It was as if I wasted my whole life. When I woke up I was filled with fear and panic. It led me down the path I am today, one with a clear vision and a plan of action that I take daily. Part of my journey is sharing my vision with others so that they can also live the life they want to live and be the person they need to become. I created this guided meditation in the hopes it would help someone, in it you get to discover your vision and purpose for the first time in your life and learn an entire new way of seeing. It's extremely powerful so please make sure you are in the right mindset before you try it alone the quiet of your room.

Hello, I'm a 24 year old man doing his Master's degree in demography in France. I have signed up here because I have gone through severe depressions throughout my life. This year, my depression was so severe, that I went through a psychotic episode with symptoms of schizophrenia for 2 weeks. During that period of time, I have lost friends and fucked up an opportunity with a girl that meant a lot to me. All this happened at the end of my stay in South of France, where I was doing my bachelor's degree for 3 years. Now, I moved to another city to do my Master's degree. As usual, I feel lonely and depressed, but I managed to get ouf that psychotic episode. What triggers me the most, is that I can be a very social person when I'm in society, I would describe myself as pretty charismatic, and confident when I talk to or in front of a lot of people, but despite that fact, I don't manage to create intimate bonds with other people and at the end of the day I remain a solitary man. I would like to share my thoughts with other people who can relate to this or who experience similar things in their life.

Haha just joking!! I'm new to most of this. I never thought a year ago I'd be going through any of this or "digging" so deep into myself. I never really even knew how far apart from my soul I was until my awakening was triggered. It's been very intense, confusing and lonely. Recent life changes I have felt compelled to make out of what seems like nowhere (as people who have "known me" would probably put it) have made me feel like I'm going crazy. After lots of research, coaching and self work I finally know I'm not completly crazy lol. I have also found that I am not alone which is wonderful news! I've never opened my mind to this type of stuff before and the onset of everything seemed out of nowhere. Now im trying to just go with the flow and see where the universe is trying to guide me. That's not too easy for a person like me who has had a habits of overthinking and questioning everything in life. Trust and faith has never come easy to me in my life...and now here I am. I am pleased to have found this community and nice to meet you all and hopefully many others to come ??

Up until a few years ago I was desperately looking for a girlfriend, because I never had one before and I felt like I needed one to make my life complete. I was very dissappointed, because I had been "the good guy" for all my life. Good education, good job, friendly, ... And I watched so many disrespectful mean guys with beautiful girls, while I was still alone. This doesn't make any sense to me - even to this day. But this time of my life taught me the high value of a healthy relationship. It is really hard to find and worth fighting for. Then I stopped looking, I put the remaining energy into caring about myself. I did what I like to do with other people (in this case console gaming) and I got to know a woman who became the best girlfriend I could ever wish for. And it was a totally different way of getting to know someone. When online dating, I picked people by location, by age and by looks. But when gaming I just picked good teammates, who are fun to play with. This way I found a girlfriend who shares my hobby and who is fun to make mistakes with. In the end, I think the hard time before was necessary to prepare myself for this moment. Many other people throw relationships away like old bread, but not me.

Wherever I go, a new school, a new college or a tuition, I tend to find the most compatible person of the other sex and try to bond with them. Not that I am desperately trying to get into a relationship, but I know that I am choosy in life, it has been always been hard for me to make friends, bond with people on a deeper level...you get it. Does this happen with everyone ? Or is it just me ? Everything happens subconsciously. I don't even want to fall in love. When I get closer to the person, I go into a state where I am confused whether to go further into it, or just back off. I know I am not ready to indulge in relationships at this age, I need to focus on building my career. Also, I am a person of emotional depth, rushing into a relationship would be the last thing I do. But I do not know how long I should wait. They say you will know when the right time comes. But the right time never seems to come. The feelings just rise and fall. Sometimes the emotional side takes over and the logical side at other times. I do not even go try finding someone online. Nor do I comment or reply to stories, trying to initiate a conversation. You understand what I am trying to say ? I am not consciously looking for love. What should be my lookout in life ? Any comments would be helpful. And to the one who has read so far, I wish you the best in life.

We live in a world where we always talk about work life balance . I never understood what 'Balance' people are talking about. If we work in an office from Monday to Friday- 8 hours a days, It has to be something really good , something you really enjoy, somewhere you feel safe, somewhere you feel respected, somewhere your colleagues smile at you, somewhere we share food and culture. We should treat everyday as important . We have created Nasty Mondays, Oh Fu** its Monday, Thank God its Friday and I dont know whatelse. I believe every day , every moment of your life is important and the sad part is people mostly live for weekends. If do every task with pleasure and joy , see every client we talk to as just a Human being, feel the computer you type with love . When you can experience everything at work with Joy and pleasure , you will see that you will never talk about work life Balance. There is only Life :)

Unter einer guten Work-Life-Balance stellen sich die meisten einen gesunden Ausgleich von Arbeitsleben und genug Zeit für Privatleben, Freizeitaktivitäten und Familienzeit vor. Work-Life-Balance kann aber für jede Einzelperson etwas anderes bedeuten. Bei Familien beispielsweise bedeutet eine gute Work-Life-Balance genug Zeit für die Kinder zu haben. Andere möchten Zeit für pflegebedürftige Angehörige haben, für wieder andere steht das Ausüben von Hobbys und Sport im Vordergrund. Was alle gemeinsam haben, ist der Wunsch, genug Erholungsphasen und weniger Erschöpfungssymptome durch zu viel Stress und zu hohen Anforderungen im Arbeitsleben zu haben. Mehr und mehr kommt der Trend zu einem simplen Lifestyle auf, der eine bessere Work-Life-Balance ermöglicht. Die Idee ist ganz einfach: Je weniger konsumiert wird, desto weniger Geld wird für das tägliche Leben benötigt. Die Kosten lassen sich senken und es muss weniger gearbeitet werden. Letztendlich träumt jeder von einem dynamischen Gleichgewicht zwischen Arbeits- und Privatleben. Wünschenswert wäre es doch, die Arbeit zu tun, die einen erfüllt und glücklich macht, aber eben noch genug Zeit für sich selbst, die Familie und soziales Engagement zu haben. Eine gute Work-Life-Balance – was meinst du? Schwierig, oder machbar? Wie setzt du das um?

Thank you! I appreciate your lovely comment! It's my life's calling! I love helping people find purpose in their life.

Hello I know I can't be alone in this, but it seems like life becomes something of a horrible cycle between your bed at home and your seat at work, and any semblance of joy you end up killing, be that drinking too much coffee, too much wine, too much of a game etc, just so you get that feeling of control, or a flicker of joy. What's even worse is you attach yourself to people or things, and that almost becomes your purpose, but because of the low energy of your life mixed with the high expectation 'this thing' or person, who will somehow overcome all of life's misery, instead makes you feel flat upon contact with the enemy when you realise there was little to be gained, nothing but the hole in your stomach and black tar on your brain. I sit here now, my children asleep, listening to the sounds of cars driving by and sometimes the heightened chatter of passers by. Yet within me I feel that horrible sinking feeling that with each passing second, the world becomes further and further away from my reach.

Supporting someone with anxiety requires understanding, empathy, and patience. Here are some steps you can take to provide effective assistance: Educate Yourself: Learn about anxiety disorders, their symptoms, and common triggers. Understanding what your friend or loved one is experiencing can help you provide more informed and compassionate support. Listen Actively: Encourage open communication. Let the person share their feelings and thoughts without judgment. Sometimes, just having someone to talk to can be incredibly helpful. Validate Their Feelings: Acknowledge their anxiety as real and valid. Avoid downplaying or dismissing their emotions. Let them know you are there to support them. Be Patient: Anxiety can be overwhelming, and recovery takes time. Be patient with their progress and setbacks. Offer Practical Help: Assist with tasks that might be difficult for them, such as running errands or attending social events. This can help alleviate some of the stress and pressure they might feel. Encourage Professional Help: Suggest seeking therapy or counseling. A mental health professional can provide appropriate strategies and tools to manage anxiety effectively. Respect Their Boundaries: While your support is crucial, it's important to respect their need for space and time alone when necessary. Practice Relaxation Techniques Together: Encourage relaxation techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, meditation, or yoga. You can even do these activities together to make it more enjoyable. Engage in Positive Activities: Encourage participation in activities they enjoy and that promote well-being. Engaging in hobbies and interests can help distract from anxious thoughts. Avoid Enabling: While it's important to be supportive, avoid helping them avoid situations that trigger anxiety. Encouraging gradual exposure to these situations can promote long-term coping skills. Be Mindful of Language: Use language that is positive and supportive. Avoid telling them to "calm down" or implying that they should just "get over it." Stay Connected: Keep in touch regularly, even if it's just to check in. Knowing that someone cares can make a significant difference. Model Healthy Coping: Demonstrate healthy coping strategies in your own life. Your behavior can serve as a positive example. Avoid Alcohol and Drugs: Encourage them to avoid using alcohol or drugs to cope with anxiety, as these can exacerbate the problem. Emergency Plan: If their anxiety becomes overwhelming or they're in crisis, know the signs of a severe anxiety attack and have a plan for seeking immediate professional help. Remember that you are there to support and encourage, but you are not a substitute for professional help. If their anxiety is severely impacting their life, encourage them to seek assistance from a mental health professional. Your role is to be a caring and understanding friend or loved one during their journey towards managing anxiety.

I believe that being happy, content and at peace with your surroundings can bring lots of positivity in one's life. We have to consciously make efforts to be in this state for as long as it is possible. We know that we can control ourselves only so accept everything and everyone else as it is and work towards making your own life a happy and peaceful one, daily. Just see how we can make it better for ourselves and for the benefits of others as well. This positive feeling makes us stronger day by day. The ultimate goal of any person's life is to live it well so keep full faith in God and work towards making your life a fulfilling one. We have to make positive progress in all areas of life. Keep yourself in high spirits always! God bless!

Hello all I just wanted to reach out and start a conversation about anything, i guess. I'm not sure what i am looking for in life right now. I've hit a spot where nothing feels exciting or the things that do feel exciting feel unattainable. So i'm just downloading any and every app visiting any and every website hoping life will bring the answers to me. I am 33 a single mom, recently diagnosed and medicated for ADHD. I can't stand my job. I'm tired of feeling stuck. I feel like I have this big ball of greatest inside me with no way out. I don't have very many friends and none that I actually hangout with. I'm not sure what to do or where to start. Being diagnosed with ADHD (and at the same time PTSD) was on one hand amazing because I thought i was just a broken person with no real reason as to why but on the other hand i'm really upset that growing up no one in my life took any time to try and help me figure out who i am and what i am the way that i am. Does anyone out there have a similar situation (or had) and can recommend what to do to figure myself out? To figure out what i want and how i can feel like its possible? Thank you for reading

In my Facebook account, there is an interesting number of people whom I consider really awake. To give an example, not including names (he knows I’m talking about him), I have a Mexican friend who lives in the USA, drives a truck across the country, has a heavy metal rock band (in my opinion one of the best I’ve heard in my life), he shares his life with a beautiful woman and has a handsome and intelligent son. In free time he reads and writes valuable texts on his Facebook page, he also writes lyrics for his songs and is likely to have a book published there. For ordinary people, Luis is a common man, I know he is not. Like him, there are many others. They do not harvest souls, they transmit light. The Buddha says: “They will embrace strange doctrines and behave like ordinary people, but they are the bodhisattvas of the Earth.” A few days ago, one of my readers wrote to another, referring to me: “He is completely trapped by the system, even a Texas ranger is created” (referring to a profile picture in which I appear in uniform) Well … first of all, I want to clarify that the category of “awake” corresponds only to people who, through meditation or other techniques, have managed to fuse their earthly soul with their incredible spirit and there is no way for an ordinary person to detect their state of life. On the other hand, a warrior of the light does not have to be one hundred percent awake, usually when he sends his message or when necessary, but is characterized by keeping his consciousness at a high level all the time. When I speak of consciousness I mean the functionality of the personal ego. On a third level are the “soul harvesters,” people who are seeking followers either because they serve archons (egrégores actually) or other soul harvesters. Its apparent function is to disseminate hidden knowledge and in fact transmit some, but rather they focus on using the energy of their followers to feed the egregor. The difference between the first two and the latter is LOVE. Then there are the common men, sheep, acorns, harvested, etc. I prefer to call them souls on the way to wake up. They are the majority of the world’s population, obviously. And they are the reason we are here. Having clarified this, I will answer my reader. You’re right, I was caught, digested, reprogrammed by the system … but it wasn’t when you detected it, it was when I was born. I arrived and entered a wheel called Samsara. Nor was it when I dedicated tens of years to teach esoteric knowledge and information that today exhibit as conspiranoic groups called or that help to wake up … Or when I was in theosophical, masonry or druid school … or in Buddhism … I repeat … was when I was born. From then on, I dedicated myself to my mission, which is not to hate our neighbor, but to share light with him. And if I have photos with a uniform, it’s because I make a living as a security officer in Texas (maybe it’s a ranger, after all), sorry for not choosing a more typical “awake” livelihood, such as leaving keep for parents or make a profit online. Friend Luis: think about it, maybe driving a truck is not a profession of awake … I know YouTube beasts that live on their video / radio programs and are exposed as great enlightened, but they are maintained by the government, by their parents or their wives and earn a few cents on the net to justify their intellectualism and conscious overcoming. I also write books … everyone knows, I published more than ten … I don’t earn any notable money with that, that’s why I’m a guard. What usually happens is that there is a part of network navigators who embrace seemingly esoteric ideologies, but that serve the egregor of neo-Nazism, as there are for evangelical, Christian, Islamist, Brahmanic religions, etc., and reach the belief that his theories about the defense of the main square, the sinister window, etc. They are really a path. And they are a path to hate. So, sorry I don’t keep writing, I have to wear a uniform to make a living.

The one thing I want everyone to know about me… I lost my husband unexpectedly in May of last year and became homeless within hours of his passing. I found out 90 days later that my husband had been abusing meth when I finally got the tox report. They called it a toxic mix of meth, fentanyl, gabapentin and cyclobenzaprine. I had not idea he was using or abusing meth… when I’d ask him why he was acting the way he was (on the rare occasions that I saw signs and symptoms) he would blame it on his PTSD from his time in the Marine Corps. It has been almost a year… next month… and that alone scares me. But I have been in survival mode since he’s passed which causes nothing but more problems because I cannot fully focus on anything in my life while also throwing on this heavy burden of grief and PTSD that no one seems to truly understand. Life moves on whether we’re ready or able to keep walking with it. So everyday is still a struggle, one foot in front of the other is still difficult even a year later. I’m here to be surrounded with people that will support me as I will support them through all of life’s up and downs.

Sorry for your loss. His life was a mess, just like you said. Maybe he regretted his decisions and didn't want to live the life he ended up in. Yes it's sad, he deserved more respect from his family and you and the children will miss him. But since you can't change what happend, the only way is to move on and to make the best of what you've got. So my way would be to focus on your work and your children and create a beautiful life for the people who are still with you.
