I Am Seeking Inner Peace

Looking Back On.... [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZFlVCNycRo]
This is dedicated to the man I should have chosen had I known better.
To wherever you are,I hope you have had the happiness you deserved with a woman who recognised love when it was offered to her and shared the wonderful life you were able to give her.

Just as I was listening to this and reading... I got an IM from my childhood sweetheart (He was in grd 8 me in 6), he was my first kiss, and still remember him tickling my belly while we traded a cassette tape of Ozzy Crazy train for a poster I had. lol.

My heart sends best wishes to you.

Some things though are better left unknown. Not that it wouldn't be good. But when you close your eyes you can imagine what it would have been. Or even the moments you had together.
As much as I love him.. It would never work. It hasn't worked in 27yrs.. OMG that is so sad. Been in love since I was 11.
Personally, I cannot handle hearing "crazy for you" from Madonna. It was our slow dance.

You personally need to take the time to realize that you do deserve it. You do not need another person to make you whole or even to make you a good person.
Abuse is a way of controlling someone because the controller has low self-esteem. When you think more of yourself and what all of us really deserve then you can find inner peace. Until that peace is reached you will not find happiness.

p.s.. crap is crap. ie it gets tossed out or flushed.

I see what you are getting at and I entirely agree that you do not need another person to make you whole,but being in an abusive relationship whether the abuser has low self esteem or not, will traumatise you and prevent you achieving that state of mind.

Could not agree more.

Such a beautiful song for such a lingering feeling. Indeed, we guess we never know. Hoping for the best for the one we couldn't hold or appreciate is truly noble and a reflection of a caring kind heart.

Many of us hold that "what if" feeling, how different life would have been. Thirty years later and I still think of her and keep on wishing her the best. Nevertheless, I have so many other rewards and fulfillments on my life and I understand and appreciate so much better who I am.

I trust that inner peace will truly come to you. You show such a kind soul. Thanks for sharing and sending your best wishes out.

Sometimes we are just not able to see what is there right in front of us. Life is like that.I wish you the opportunity to finally meet someone that truly loves you, and will cherish you with their heart and soul.

I believe this is from a song by Cat Stevens.

We all have had that moment in time. Inner peace is what the beholder wants and finds. Sometimes it is handed to us. Other times we have to work hard for it.
Learning from our past is what makes any of us better people in this day. One thing I swear by.. the day you stop learning is the day you die.

well said!

Berangere; I am so sorry you were deceived. Your story happens all too frequently. Wonderful trusting people like you, are preyed upon by sick people who hurt them for their evil pleasure.
How is a trusting person to know? Life seems far to short for trial and error.
May you find the peace you continue to share with others.

My dear friend! If you think of him,he thinks of you! My heart goes out to you! We are blessed you are here, bring so much to all that are in your amazing life! I truly admire,you have helped, I am grateful.Love you always! ((((HUGS))))

May be he thinks of me,but life brought him plenty to have kept him happy as he was a loving soul.
CrystalRainsPearls

{{hugs}} it must be bittersweet to reflect upon. As you remember how loving a person he was realize that you also have a loving heart to wish only the best for him.
berangere · 80-89, F
You can only wish the best to a person who has the capacity to make others truly happy.I was the one who chose to walk away.

I was going to say something similar to what Skyy7 said. It's a sign of maturity and a loving heart to be able to appreciate the love he had to offer and be happy for the person who received it.

Somehow EP deleted my comment... Anyway, I find this post very moving, and wish you and him could be reunited.
berangere · 80-89, F

whitesunshine87
