Sweet Dreams



There are things, thoughts and nightmares from our childhood that plague us over and over… 
the never-ending pain-of-the-past seems to show up at the most in opportune moments. 
It sidles into our happiness covering us like a cloud over the sun and that all too familiar chill races up, then down our spine. 
And people say, “get over it” ….but we can’t.
They say, “why do you let it get to you?” – but it does.
The creepy, unnerving memory is as fresh as the day we were wounded.
You just have to wonder what will it take to make the horrible feelings subside?
The answer is not so easy.
When we don’t feel good – we don’t feel God.
When we don’t want to talk about it – we don’t need a speech.
When we don’t want to hear the positivity – we don’t need a pep talk.
Isolation. Depression. Anxiety.
It’s all there…
Somedays are better than others – some days suck.
Respectively, the reality is clear and we know it. 
Coming to terms with the mind is a challenge we all face but it is possible to reel it in. It truly is.
We just need time to heal, time to resolve and perhaps time to minimize the justification of the atrocities we have to swallow – it can be done.
Give us space.
Give us love.
Give us a break.
Someday is just around the corner…. We are many and we are not alone.
