This one posted on someone else's timeline this morning made me think, because I remember all too well how often, and how quickly and easily I have been ignored and dismissed when others did not and could not understand what was really going on inside of me.
 
I understand this much… WHO (but my God) can decipher the seemingly “negative” behaviours and “dramatic” mind-set of someone who has been hurt so badly in their childhood.  Who can possibly understand, unless they had been there in that exact place in their past too. 
 
I have come to believe through experience, that NO study at any university or years of work with such people will equip anyone enough to really understand fully the extent of the internal suffering and turmoil, or the self-destructive power of the damaged mind (damaged in childhood).  I will write more about this in another blog post which I have been longing to write, but just haven’t found time for ages now due to the student workshops and Christmas rush. (I think it's going to be another LONG one... apologies in advance)
 
I find picture posts, such as the one above extremely cold, hurtful, judgmental and insulting! 
 
As a Logotherapist, I feel that helping others with their "drama" and "negativity" is my calling... Not to FOCUS on their "drama" or "negativity", but to CARE enough to really LISTEN and do my best to HEAR... and then to do my best to help them to find the meaning of their lives and in their lives, which could ultimately, and hopefully, help them to find their peace and their place of positive realizations on their own.
 
So, NO... I won't be cancelling any subscriptions to the "drama" and "negativity" in the lives of others, or then, how could I help them to find their more peaceful way of being which is always there waiting for them to find, but only when they are ready to give their lives a chance and are prepared to put in the hard work needed to get themselves there... it takes a huge amount of courage and can be the loneliest journey imaginable, but it is so worth it!

I know firsthand how hard, lonely and painful it can be to deal with personal dramas and negativity and not seem to have any answers for it all and nobody to turn to, or nobody to trust enough to turn to.

If I can be there for someone in their time of "drama" and "negativity" and help them to find their courage and strength and will to live and heal, in order to find their way out of it all... then... my job is done, and my life has most definitely been worth living. 

May I never fail you... for I know you exist out there somewhere and I pray you will find this post and KNOW that someone cares enough to at least try.

    Since as far back as I can remember, family, friends, complete strangers and strangely even animals (birds included) have come to me for help and comfort and I have always felt the calling to be there for others in any way that I possibly can.
