RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Complaints
Before jumping to anything you mentioned in your comment. I have to say that it takes courage to say something personal or reflect on something that you feel strongly about.
Now, I guess we need to start with putting intention into perspective. Sometimes we try to do things and we end up not doing them in the best way possible. That could be for many reasons, it could be because of the society or our previous experience.
Moving to the part where you spoke about your experience. I think there are 2 questions to be asked here. What did I learn from this? And where am I headed from this point?
What I have just told you is part of my childhood life, of my adolescence. It is something personal but I learned that saying it or writing it was good therapy. I wish 40 years ago I had known about these platforms that encourage us to write about our lives.
I am not ashamed to point out ways of life that I maintained and endured because I chose to. I would have preferred to have grown up in another environment, but that's the way it was, that's the way I lived and learned to live my life.
I am talking about something that happened to me more than 40 years ago. I studied and as I got to know other groups of families I acquired life experiences. I graduated twice in health professions. This helped me to channel my repressed feelings of resentment.
Today, I have a 24 year old son, we are friends. He knows these sad stories. And he also knows that they are part of my past, they are in my mind and I no longer have hatred and resentment.
The complaining helped me to get out my frustrations and to say from the first moment what made me feel bad.

Well, I can tell that this is an old experience. But, there is something that comes along with experience and memory. It never fades away! We are always living with our past experiences, remembering them. It is good when we find a way to cope and move forward. Just like what you have explained.
There are lessons in life which are really tough and gets a mark on us. But, we still find a way to live with it. But, don't ask me how?..
Have a nice week..

You said. Our past is like our footprints. There are the footprints but that doesn't mean that we will walk in the same footprints again. We have to look for ways to find other paths and leave new footprints.
Happy week to you.
