My Life Experience

By Atis S.

With such courage and conviction graphic

It feels like only days ago that I first felt an overwhelming feeling I couldn’t explain the reason for. This time it was sadness, a deep soul wrenching sadness that had me crying uncontrollably, helpless, laying on the floor of the hallway upstairs away from the rest of the family.

Sobs akin to dry heaves wracked my body while I could do nothing to stop them. When my mother came up to console me and tried to understand the cause of my behavior I recall being completely honest with her. I had no idea why I was sad, just that I was. With no explanation for what had happened with me I felt broken, broken and alone. This took place when I was sixish.

Affirmation Corner

I am enough.

I am intelligent and capable

I treasure my imperfections

I acknowledge my self-worth

In the Silence

By Paul Teerlinck

In the silence there is time
And there is no time.
In the silence the noise of the world disappears.
I get relief from my tears.
Relief from finding right or wrong,
Relief from seeming weak or strong.
Space
To let go of constricting bonds.
A place
To find a peaceful song.
I am so grateful for the silence.
My quiet friend,
I get to visit
Again and again.
