I posted recently here about my journey out of depression and wondering if I could dare hope there might be someone waiting for me at the end of the tunnel.I got some helpful replies. One said something about what I was doing to help myself and not waiting for a future partner to help me. I am I hope making some steps out of the darkness. I find music a great healer for me. Last night I attended a concert in a small village I love abroad. It was really beautiful and I felt surrounded by good things. A singer whose name I cannot say as it may identify me came on and sang some songs so beautiful Inwas enchanted. I disentangled myself from the family member I attended with and found a quiet spot outside and wept for a short time.
I would like to say I used to think this illness was made up but now I know better. We are here for such a short time on earth and I hope everyone can find it in their hearts to show kindness not harshness to each other and also to receive it. It will be a while before I am ready to open my life to someone new, but I hope to bring some light into that person's life wherever they are now. It makes me sad to read about people being badly treated and sometimes badly treating others on here. My heart has been opened to the suffering of others through all of this. There is a person I know who has suffered through the way others have treated her and I have just never seen it until now. So I will try if I can to make some amends and to reach out to her. I hope everyone here finds some joy in life, I may not be close to it,but I am less far than I was yesterday.
