This is my last post. I wish I could explain where I have been recently, but I guess I have fallen out of the habit of really sharing here. Things have changed. I guess that is inevitable in life. I started blogging more than five years ago at a time when I was alone in a crisis. The first incarnation of this blog somehow garnered a lot of readers, though they seemed to dwindle in direct proportion to the health I gained from expressing and discovering myself. That was very sad for me in some ways and yet it was a celebration in other ways. Even so, I am still grateful for every reader and friend I enjoyed while blogging. I was desperately alone and in a very terrible place and total strangers showed up to keep me company. I cannot explain how much that helped me. It probably saved my life. I had nowhere left to go and somehow some people appeared with understanding, humor, empathy and even a asspocket of whiskey (long story). If you ever left a nice word for me, YOU helped save a human life. Thank you.
Like I said, things have changed for me. I wish I could say that I will be leaving cyber-space and disappearing into a wonderful new life filled with friends and exciting new goals, but that would be a lie and I've never lied in cyber-space. You people never made me feel like I had to lie and for that I can never thank you enough. For the most part, I still have the life I came here with and my life outside of my immediate household is very empty. But... at least I have come to understand that this here that I have is all the life I can deal with at the moment. Maybe that's not so bad.
Anyway, if any reader takes anything of value from this blog, I hope it will be this - BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. You are the most important thing you have that will somehow always be with you for as long as you live. And that is not nearly as depressing as it might sound to some. Maybe someday I will come back here and post if I gain some incredible insight into the nature of love and life. Yeah, I guess I don't expect I will be coming back here. :-)
Peace, Out. The Highway thanks you for the portion of your journey that you shared with us and we will be forever grateful.

ReplyDeleteThank you for all your support these last few years, Lynn. It's meant a lot. As I said, I'll miss you loads - but I genuinely wish you all the very best with everything in that fabled place known as real life.

I'm going to miss you, too, Lynn. I know I wasn't the most vocal reader either, but I stopped in as often as I turned on my computer (which hasn't been that often lately - not because of anything you wrote, but just because of life in general...)
ReplyDeleteThroughout the journey, though, you've amazed me with your strength and your courage, and I wish you every good thing. Take care of yourself, chica, and please keep me on your mailing list in case you decide to write again. I wish you peace, rest and good dreams.
I'm going to miss you. Good and healing thoughts to you.
