@SW-User Aww thank youuu! I'll surely take your advice. Life's short, anyway. We don't want to be wastrels if we really wanted to make up for the times we've made mistakes, right?

@ThisDame np and yeah it's not in our best interest to be that 🙏

@Viper I'm sorry you had to go through that. But maybe she's taught you not to do same mistake twice. I'm sure love will come around for you. Take your time to heal, alright?💕

@rckt148 that must be tough😟

@ThisDame I did just fine
I learned from my mistakes ,embraced the good while it lasted
I was married by 16 ,enlisted in the Coast Guard and was in boot camp 2 weeks after turning 17
I was working for a major Railroad at 21 ,lost my first wife and 3 kids at 23 ,didn't see my kids again for 12 long years
I had to undergo major back surgery on ,,I said on ,my 30th birthday ,when they removed part of my spine and lost me several times on the operating table ,,
I remarried at 26 ,,
but when a tiny spur developed in my right shoulder that no one could find until 1993 ,
well when I said I couldn't use my arm ,but doctors said there was nothing wrong with me ,,
and they went as far as to tell my wife it was a ploy to obtain narcotics by fraud ,,I was an addict ,,she left too
But God healed me of all my addictions Jan 18th ,1994
They eventually found the spur and also awarded me my disability ,but not before I lost everything again .

I found my kids and traveled to Florida to see my oldest graduate high school June 10 ,1995 ,,,by Nov 5th
I had full custody of my other 2 kids and life has never been the same since ,,,I lost 1 and gained 10

I now have 4 kids ,and 6 grandkids and I am one of the most blessed men on the planet
On the 18th I will sing at my oldest granddaughters wedding
I am pretty sure my oldest grandson will follow in her steps soon as well ,,,all of them are successful and very blessed of God
All the times satan tried to kill me and ruin me ,,
There is a good reason ,,now I can testify to the power of God and kick satans butt just by walking everyday
doctors don't know how I'm able to ,,,I DO
Before then you would have said "No one is that unlucky "God hates him " and I spared you a lot of other events ,good and bad ..Now you could say "No one is that lucky "I'm not I am highly favored of God ,,
I now know who I am ,who I serve and my kids all make me proud .they all serve Him too .
and I am the little boy they used to tell
"You ain't never gonna be nothing ,your just like your Momma "She will never die as long as you live "Mom was known for wrecking lives and families ,especially her own .
My Mom was a practicing Witch ,,Lots of people feared her
and I blamed my miserable life on God
Now I blame the right one ,,
God spared him ,,He hates when His kids go astray ,and struggle ,cause no one believes in Him anymore but I do ,,
He healed my crippled kid
and made me a son of God ,one day I will see the one who tormented so many of us get his full end ,,when everything evil is one day destroyed ,,
If your life is a struggle ,,there is a good chance satan is afraid of who you ,might be one day too
I wish you well ,,hang in there ,,it rains of the good as well as the evil ,,then there is a rainbow ,a promise
The wise know what it is
We will always have choices ,and lots of mistakes to learn by ,,they teach is not to pick the easy ,popular road ,
when the last choice finally comes ,believe me or not
Hope this helped you in some way
God bless

@ThisDame I don’t deal with many feelings at all

@Deadcutie Then are you a "take-control-of-your-emotions-before-it-takes-control-of-you" type of person?

@ThisDame no, more like a sociopath.. simply don’t have them to the degree of others
