Intimidation

Since I was young I have allowed others to intimidate me into believing that I had nothing important to say. I have allowed others to voice their opinions over mine and stayed quiet. Many times because I felt it was needed to keep the peace. I see now I was wrong. My ability to see where pain can be used to heal wounds and mend fences was limited. I have been through a lot in my short life. None of it comes close to what I have heard or seen others endure though. I have grown to understand the words of songs like Nickleback- second chance because I know what it's like to be so close to someone and be so afraid of what would happen if I stepped away. It's ironic how I have lived in my head for so long, yet my greatest fear was speaking my mind because I didn't want to be cast aside.... I know my beliefs are unique. I know these beliefs and my methods shake the foundations of what people believe. I understand just how uncomfortable it is to truly question everything u have ever been taught in life. Pain never goes away. The evil voices in your head will never shut up, but their is a balance that can be maintained. Just because they speak evils that nobody but u will ever comprehend don't think u are alone. We all have an internal battle to fight. I've learned that everything we have been taught about ourselves and the relationships with others is wrong. Too many people are broken and believe that they must find a partner to repair the damage. This is a lie. The ability to repair the damage is within us and when two broken individuals try to fix each other the pain within each of us is like a magnet and instead of healing it tears us apart. I have experienced this and have watched this happen. I do not have all the answers, but what I can tell u is that compassion and a change in perspective will go a long way to helping. I have found a lot of helpful people out there. I try to share with others, but I feel it falls on deaf ears. I speak through pictures, words, videos from others and music. If your searching for something. Take a stroll through my Facebook page, my blog, or my website. I may not be the one u wanna listen to, but maybe someone I know will grab your attention.

Quiet No More!
