When did you wake up and realize you aren't going to get to do even half the things in life that would have spoken to your soul?

And then further realize the things you will get to do, will be enjoyed on your own and in silence.

There are no words....

I realize.... that I've gotten to do so many things that I never dreamt I'd do!
If nothing or anyone ever spoke to your soul your whole life, I'd say something isn't right.
The glass isn't half empty or half full.... It's not even the same beverage for each of us.
I tend to look back at all I have been blessed with... especially at times I am feeling down.
If living the rest of my life alone is how it goes, I'll just do that the best way possible... doing
what makes me happy and makes my life better for me.

This is a very good question and a very thought provoking one....

The answer to this brought me such a disappointment that made me realize I should live life moment by moment without any expectations..... it may help me feel that Im doing it right...

Good morning LadyBronte... 🌹🌹

Just about every single morning.

How to be certain with what to do and where to go and even who talk with, and who to trust. Epilepsy sure has me lost with what is what, and me not knowing of my faulty brain, but others seeing me ... I so take that told them to leave me alone. Thus how in the world am I to trust others? Or even knowing whats Good or Bad? Well that is my 1st 42 yrs with epilepsy and mot knowing of my problem.

Now though the swings I mentally have ... fear certainly holds me back from trying , even what should I try?! I do not know what I want to try these days. I just accept today is today and 'let it be'. Iam very happy though, scared/tired being alone but very happy with work and where I am.

I love enjoying things on my own. Most of the things I want to do in life I will do on my own
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Jenny1234 Good for you. Ive always felt life would be so much richer with someone you love and who loves you, to share it with. Sadly all i ever met were those who wanted to use me while it was convenient. 🤷‍♀️
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@LadyBronte ive never felt the need to share things with other people, not everything anyways. I’m a very private person so I often like to do my own thing because then I do t have to change things up to suit others and I don’t have to report to people about it
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Jenny1234 I don't feel the need to put everything out there for everyone, but sharing life with that one soecial person...I don't really know, and never will, but can only imagine it would make life sweeter.

I have never had a list of things I wanted to do except for maybe a weekend trip. I just kind of play it by ear and wing it. Some of the things that have spoken to my soul were a complete flop when they actually happened. Some things that have just popped up have been more amazing than I could have imagined. My goal is to be able to say "Man, that was a good ride." when I pass from this world.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Roadsterrider Good for you. And good that you have someone in life to experience that good ride with.

It true..Many of the choices I made in life closed the door to dreams I had.. But every choice I made was thought through and well intended for the good of others. So while I wont see Niagara falls, I cant regret that, considering what giving that up granted me.😷
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@whowasthatmaskedman You are fortunate to have you family and the adventures you've been afforded. I wish I had made different decisions and could say i was loved and content. It is a blessing to be able to do so.
At about 39.
But then sometimes the soul can find a bit of solace. Plus as we're all limited we can sometimes build something bigger than us together.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@EarthlingWise Sometimes perhaps. For some.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
Inevitably every so often this will happen.

The key here is to stop & filter out the ones that for one reason or another never happened.

Then refocus on the ones which still matter.

I find setting goals and reminders out in a diary is extremely useful.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Kae20 Ya can't make the dishonest, honest.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
@LadyBronte there's lots of truth in that's. As well ..it doesn't hurt to consider -
the more dishonest,the less evolved the soul. You may even be operating from different dimensions..
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Kae20 We certainly were. I came from the dimension of true and kind hearts. He came from the land of selfish black emptiness where a heart should be.

LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@SW-User Things that speak to your soul...things that make you feel completely alive - things that bring your passion and zest to life - things that overpower and leave you overflowing with warm and joy - those things that let uou know youre alive rather than just existing.

@LadyBronte ‘Sadder still to watch it die than never to have known it’

One of my favorite quotes
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@LunarOrbit I would give anything never to have known it or to be able to get rid of the memories of him. Instead here I am, hoping I can make it through and come out the other side someday at least somewhat intact.
OneDayMore · 36-40, M
I’m not sure, but I know it was too late and that it makes me want to give up trying.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@OneDayMore You're still young enough to try again, but I get the feelings of wanting to give up. I should have given up long before now. Unfortunately, I wasted my time on people who didn't matter. Good luck to you.
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
I think I’m in the process of awakening…
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@ButterRobot Me too. And it hurts my heart.

LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@antonioioio Good for you.

@Starcrossed Im sorry.
Lostpoet · M
I believe in multiple lives and the things you don't do in this one you'll do in future ones.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Lostpoet A nice thought, but one I find I can't believe in. Hope you're right and we all basically get a do over.
Lostpoet · M
@LadyBronte It's the only thing that makes sense to me being from the faith I was in and being told that we have to go through troubles in our lives because God is testing us and making us better so that we can live in his presence for eternity. But how can you get better from trials and tribulations if you haven't been through them all. Even though some people do go through them all like Jesus did. He bleed through every pore and went through every negative thing I think a person can go through. And look at some people that are born with deformities don't they need to experience a life where they didn't have the handicap in order to learn how to overcome certain things.

@LadyBronte It was when I realized that I can't escape Muscular Dystrophy. I'm not supposed to live a long life. I appreciate your thoughts though 🤗 I'm usually not a sad person I can enjoy little things here and there and I have lots of hobbies.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I'm sorry, I'm glad you didn't take offense at my answer. You seem to have a good outlook - don't ever lose that!
@LadyBronte 🤗 because you had good intentions. You were being polite. Thank you. ❤

What do you mean with spoken to my soul?
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@SW-User I replied to you above when I saw it under a different comment. I didnt realize this was here.

@Stereoguy There is a need, and you and I can see that. But she may be too far down to see it too. To be honest, a little tough love, like saying "I'm taking the RV out this weekend and I've got someone coming in to stay with you", might be excatly what she needs to hear to snap her out of it At some point, you're going to have to have that "come to Jesus" meeting with her and lay it all out without rosy words. Usually nurses are the ones who get to tackle that, but with no active nursing treatment it is left up to the family. Good luck to you. I really do hope the bestbfor you and the missus. I hope something can open her eyes to the reality of continuing to just sit and let her health go downhill. That continued behavior isn't good for either of you.
