@Matt85 *settles in. This sounds like the rest is yet to come. 😂

@WaryWitchWandering love it.

@Fairydust Of course I like you. 🤗

@TexChik
I edited it, didn’t mean that at you lol 😂🥰✨

@Fairydust I knew what you meant. 😉

@JessieAndThisEarthlyPlane Well, the way you write, I almost wish I was alive in 2096 to read it. 😂

@thinkingoutloud Hehe thank you. My literature teacher always says I have a unique way of writing and speaking. Whether that's a good thing or a not so good thing. I go for the former, I am who I am. Wouldn't change that for anything even my story. ☺️

@JessieAndThisEarthlyPlane In a world full of people being carbon copies of the current trend, unique is a breath of fresh air.
Kudos to you.

@Sevendays Of course. :)

@Sevendays No one wants to be alone all the time.

@Musicman that's true.

@AlchemyFox would that not get lonely?

@thinkingoutloud I'm already lonely. I feel comforted by nature.

@thinkingoutloud Thank you!

@ElRengo Your story reminded my life so I had to reply... I married alone, had baby alone, move houses, spending birthdays alone without family aside. Just my husband is with me so I am happy, I always be settle with quality not quantity...😊

@skybubble20
Good choice, indeed!

@Xalvadora Sounds interesting.

@Stillwaiting That is certainly an achievement and I hope you can now enjoy your time free of worry. :)

@thinkingoutloud Lol .. thanks. There will always be a bit of worry still, especially in today's world. Not retiring from being Dad, but its a bit more of a consulting role now.

@Stillwaiting True. But a little bit is doable. Right?

@WhateverWorks aww. But you know, it is inspirational to watch someone love themselves enough to put the effort of trying not to drown in their trauma and before you know it, you will be swimming comfortably and then soon enough, you will be walking out the pool drying off, preparing for a new adventure.

@thinkingoutloud I made it out of the pond, but the price was high. 😬😅. Que sera sera!

@SunshineGirl That sounds so well rounded.

@AbbySvenz Love it.

@AbbySvenz I Thought It Was This lol

@PoetryNEmotion hi PnE

@Ferric67 Hi, baby! What's up?

@PoetryNEmotion it would be a mesmerising story, I have no doubt. ❤️

@Blondily Is it hard? Who takes care of you?

@thinkingoutloud They are good to me too 👍🏻

Awwwww you seem cool!@Raaii

@teachmetiger210503 Thank you for sharing.

@exexec That really sounds nice.

@Deceased I see. Interesting. Do you work in justice?

@thinkingoutloud Bachelors in Criminal Justice actually.

@OnePatheticClown you're sure there is no rhyme or reason?

@thinkingoutloud well, if there is, it involves so many variables for a simple human mind to comprehend, so it might as well be completely random .

@thinkingoutloud thaaank you 😊, what is your story?

@Popobandar1993 It's been a journey that has been rich with experiences and has taught me so much and continues to teach, continues to transition me into a better version of my older self. 🙃

@thinkingoutloud would love to hear your adventurous tale , learning from your experiences, gathering wisdom from your experiences, certainly you are wiser and better version of yourself

@scorpiolovedeep nicely said

@AngelKrish Hopefully you can use your struggles to learn from and help others with.

@Thevy29 I always wondered why that is - the child they count on the most is rarely ever the favourite. I've seen it too many times to believe it's a standard.

@assemblingaknob Why?

@thinkingoutloud I'm just a person of borderline intellect. I'm just getting by in life. Just surviving. Hence the dumbass.

@assemblingaknob The thing is, I am not sure if people with borderline intellect would actually know that. Also, it's not my place to convince you otherwise, but hopefully you discover things about you that make you see yourself in a better light.

@SW-User is that a good thing or a not so good thing?

@thinkingoutloud the most important thing.

@NerdySoph Do you like the narrative so far?

@thinkingoutloud Some parts of it, some not

@Ferric67 is your walk enjoyable?

@thinkingoutloud it just feels like what needs to be done
And along that path, I have found a lot of characters and have learned their stories....you can call it an interesting path

@thinkingoutloud overcoming the loss of my family at age 4 ,landing in foster care for the next 14 years .Surviving abuse in foster care and from everyone i trusted , overcoming drug abuse initiated by people who were supposed to protect me . Learning to survive on my own being homeless . Finding freedom at age 18 , getting a job and a home working on healing the wounds .

@kodiac That is a lot for someone to take. Good to know you're healing wounds and wish you strength and grace.

@thinkingoutloud Thank you

@4meAndyou I won't be able to listen to this right now. Would you tell me in your words?

@turnedtostone video unavailable for me.

@SW-User I say if we haven't been a fool some time, we haven't lived.

@Monalisaa1986 that is very important.

@swirlie Sometimes I am the star, sometimes I give my stardom away for a bit.

@thinkingoutloud
Never give your star away. Always remain the star of your own movie or someone else will make you a supporting actor to their own movie. Do not ever give up control of your movie to appease someone else's need for stardom.

@swirlie Words of wisdom.
