The nightmare, which had been taught to me.

Hello world. The following was written 1/25/2014.

I came across this, as I was sorting files and cleaning up some folders tonight. It brought into focus, where I have been and where I am at now. A miracle happened the day I realized, nothing has ever gone wrong.

“I seem to have a problem. A very deep seated ugly problem, which doesn’t want to go away. It seems I have been conditioned to be terrified, of ever asking for or reaching out for help from anyone for anything or accepting any kind of direction from another person, regarding my path in life. Growing up it seemed when I asked or reached out for help, it came with punishments and thoughtless comments, with shows of annoyance.

You’re not thinking right. What’s wrong with you? How could you, let them touch you? I’m disgusted with you! You must have asked for it! You initiated it all, didn’t you? You’re a slut! Whore! You know you asked for this. This is going to hurt me, more then it hurts you.” Then the looks and whispers. The sudden silences, when I would come into a room. Feeling unwanted and even worse, repulsed by those I loved.
