Chapter Three Begins!!!

Page 61 of 366. I don't have a particular subject that I wanted to talk about today. I DID want to acknowledge what today is... It is the anniversary of the Salem Witch Trials and I want to take a moment and offer all my love and positive vibes to their descendants. 

It was this day... March 1st, 1692 that many people were crucified/murdered, for absolutely NO reason... I hold that place sacred, but will never grace that ground with my feet. Not just because of the pain and sadness that is within the soils there, but also the hypocrisy of people around there, trying to make a quick buck over such falsehoods. (That could just be me personally but I will never go to Salem and have zero desire to be there!!!)

Today is also considered, in Ancient Roman civilization, a festive day where they celebrated Juno Lucina, the goddess of childbirth. motherhood and women in general. The festival is called "Matronalia". So in essence it sounds a lot like the Western's version of "Mother's Day"!!!

I kinda want to get into why I have been the way I am these past couple days... I am drowning in my frustration and anxiety. I am going to try and make peace with things that have haunted me for decades... I am not sure how this will happen, but I KNOW I have a few people behind me who are my supports.

I am hoping that light at the end of this very long tunnel will come to fruition. EVen if there are no words exchanged again, no one can say I didn't make a valiant effort to be part of a group that I never fit in with.

The hardest thing is the one person I really want to turn to about this, well, there has been a huge falling out, and I am not sure they will ever truly speak to me again, not that I blame them. I despise how it went down and I really hate myself for all of it. (NO, I am not suicidal, just sad!!!)

I am trying not to dwell on what isn't and just accept what is... I am very grateful for my best friend, who knowing what I am talking about and about to do... still gives me the encouragement, even after how many attempts of this failing??? You never falter and I am grateful for the pillar you are. I know my brothers and sisters are kind of the opposite with this one... feeling I should let go of this and just slam the door closed; and NOT leave a window open anywhere. 

Maybe I am just a glutton for punishment. Maybe I am making another attempt in hopes that possibly I will finally be seen for me ~ who and what I am. I don't understand why that has been an impossible task my entire life. I never got why I wasn't good enough.

I fought my ass off to get where I am today. I am not a millionaire. I don't live in a mansion, but I DO have my own place. I have no one supporting me, financially nor physically... I have my famILY that gives me the emotional and mental support; but when it gets down to the nitty gritty... it was ME. I was the one who accomplished the things I have. 

I guess the only sad thing right now, is I had met someone incredible and adore him and his mother... but in an instant, I lost it all. I have no one to blame but myself. I am not going to sit here and bash anyone because that isn't who I am. JUst know you are missed... both of you!!!

Stay safe. Stay warm. Be well. Be loved.
