RE: Reinventing myself: another midlife crisis /// How to live a guilt free life for destroying the Earth
That was nice. I like that people will just be honest sometimes with themselves and share that bit of honesty. Suicide is not going to fix the world or make it a better place, and it will never solve a perceived problem but will cause real problems.
I see you mention 30 and 33, so guessing that is the "mid-life crisis age. Sorry, everyone in the world has lied to you, so I think I will lie to you too. You have just discovered you are "Mortal", is that a good lie or what? It was about that age I learned i was no longer Immortal, that yes I was mortal, I felt pain, I felt loss, I felt well like a lot of people at that age, I felt Mortal. The thrill of being Immortal was over, gone, done, finito.
Now a little bit of truth, but only a little bit, because I think I am still learning and always will be. When you get to your late 50's, you realize it was all a lie. You realize that you really are immortal, that when you leave someone somewhere will miss something you had to say, will miss you, and that you will be remembered. Life is not about learning to grow old gracefully from the day you were born, it isn't about learning to live either. We know how to live. We know what we need to live. As I approach my 59th year what I have learned it is life is not about any of those things above. For me life has been a journey of growth of growing into life, of no longer crawling around on the floor, but of standing up, and growing, not growing up, but growing and nurturing life. My life, my wife's life, family life, friends life, and the most important the life of my spirit and my soul.
Write, and set your spirit and soul free, let them grow, help them grow, help the people around you grow. Mother Earth is a big girl, we as a people will help her heal as we realize when we hurt her, and we will grow. As we grow our spirits, and our souls, as we help each other grow, we will help Mother Earth grow also. Have a wonderful day, and may the light of the moon shine softly upon you as you sleep the sleep of dreams to be and dreams to come.
My dear @bashadow I am so glad that you discovered this article. I was not sure if I should resteem at first but I was hoping for more comments and understanding about @purplemoon’s feelings.
You know well why and what I write and your words completed my thoughts, after I was finished reading. A deeply touching post like this could never be written by robots :) ..........if you both know what I mean....
Beautifully said!
🧡
I saw your resteem, I have been very busy with trying to help onboard new users with votes and comments, and let them know yeah, there are a few people that will help the new user, so I go and vote and comment. Then I thought it had been a little bit since I checked my feed, and I saw your resteem. Thank you for that, and the nice comment above.
thank you both guys for adopting new users fallen from the moon! So much appreciated your support and the honest words! xxx xxx xxx :)
thank you so much for your thoughts and feelings @bashadow! So beautiful written and touched me where they need to be. You know, in my community island where we live, I am surrounded by people that are your age. And I see them having more and more fun then the "30 year old people". They really live like they will gonna die tomorrow.
Maybe one day I will realize the immortality (again). It all goes in waves as I saw until now. For me now, life is just about breaking down the self inducted patterns and free myself from my own-limits.
To be remembered or not, I don't know. I see that although I am the youngest in the family, I am the only one who speaks about death with the others. Not afraid to say it out load.
Mother Earth is a big girl :) I loved this line. I somehow know it subconsciously, as I feel Her spirit. But what I feel we are doing know is just hurting her physical body... Mama Earth will somehow always go on, maybe on a another form.
Thank you so much again @bashadow for your visit on my virtual purple space. :) You are very much appreciated! Lots of love! :)
