One difficult emotion I have been experiencing recently is.....

@yasnabear I'm sorry. I'm going through the same thing

@itsallgoodheretoo

Is it a feeling of freedom moreso than deep hatred for him? Or

@itsallgoodheretoo mine was too, and we weren't even in a relationship. I alternate between loving her and hating her, and sometimes feel both simultaneously

@1Disawsum

If you've done something that you felt was immoral or wrong, that genuine feeling of shamefulness and dissapointment shows that you are aware and are truly upset about the situation. What this also shows is that there is a part of you that would wish for it not to be this way. So I ask you, what's holding you back from overcoming this? What obstacle blocks you from saying "No..not again. I know what this is so I know to avoid it".

@amusingApricot166

Same here

At times feeling lost and feeling fear for doing anything about that lossness can feel like the end times in our lives. That fear of "What if something horrible happens if I do ____" holds us back and we unknowingly or even intentionally decide to just live in this pit of nothingness which then eventually leads to sadness which is dangerously close to other eventual and much darker feelings should we stay in that state of mind (I know this all too well).

Here's the thing. This...this is when we are given the oppurtunity to evolve. It's at this low point of not knowing or not having faith in ourselves that we are greatly challenged. To act boldly, carefully and thoughtfully here will carry us to places that we didn't know exist or was simply to afraid to find them.

Here's a tiny TINY TINY example that I'll take from my own experience. I've always been afriad to cook. The thought of burning down a kitchen due to just making something as simple as pancakes would always block me from trying anything which would then just lead to me ordering pizza (wasting lots of money in the process in the grand scheme of things). One day I was thrown into a situation yet again where I had the option to cook something or to spend a lot of money ordering out. Here I decided "You know what? If the universe wanted me to burn down an entire kitchen as a result of me being confident in myself and having faith for a change, then so be it".

I decided to try cooking pasta for the first time. I acted boldly here. Not only that, but I had an absolute blast cooking this pasta as I honestly had no idea what would happen, but that was the fun of it all. The life giving energy of not knowing and just putting yourself in the hands of faith can be a powerful rejuvinating experience. After the whole thing I didn't even care if the result was a masterpiece or a total dud. I was so happy and proud of myself that I made that attempt that said joy was enough to make me feel as though I'd accomplish a major stepping stone in my life.

Tasted it, and it wasn't half bad at all. I now had pasta for 2-3 days which was cheaper than pizza that would've just lasted me one day, but that wasn't the main point. THe point was that, through my bold decision in taking a leap of faith, I progressed forward as an individual. I discovered something new; a new skill of life that I could legitimately and confidently choose to sharpen if desired. A new chapter in my life that I can aspire to be greater in with great joy and fulfillment should I choose this. The fact of the matter is that my leap of faith opened up a new door that I was afraid could never be open.

I say this to say, when you're at the edge of the cliff of decision making in life, that's when the universe lays out a safety net and parachute called "faith", but understandably, this net is hard to see and this parachute feels rather light and fragile at the time. It's up to you to either make that leap or walk back. It doesn't mean that every decision here is the right one, but what it does mean is that moments of progression forward in life will, at many times, feel like questionable leaps of faith. Remember what's on the other side should you jump and remember what's on the side that you're currently on should you decide not to.

@Jing2010 Yes, of course, I will pray for you and your family.

@Jing2010

Praying for you if you would return the favour. My husband is in the process of filing. He's quite happy with his girlfriend and her daughter. I'm good... Pray for my acceptance and release from all the horrible traumas leftover from the marriage. As well for my teenagers as they accept change.
