This is not creative writing...This is my life.

In a sea full of reality shows and superficial lives, emerges a man who writes to heal his soul. God gave us the power to heal ourselves. The human body is a miracle among miracles. We have innate energy within us that is unique to only our species. This energy allows us not only to heal the wounds... Sign in to see full entry.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a bridge we all must cross at one time or another. I never sought to damage my relationship with her. It was my illness at work. I suffer immeasurably for what I have had to endure in my life. I am physically, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt at this point. All I asked for was... Sign in to see full entry.

Maybe He Doesn’t Understand Me…

maybe he doesn’t want to… His world is so filled with past and present trials and tribulations. He says he loves me and wants to make a life with me but his actions paint a very different picture. He doubts my love and devotion even after I have given so much more than any woman could be expected to... Sign in to see full entry.

"Fuck it"..."I'm staying"!

In my darkest hour I tried to isolate myself, hoping I would just shrivel up and die somewhere. Then it dawned on me after hearing some of your comments. If I high tail it outta here, I am just signing on the dotted line to be a quitter. A quitter I am not. Did I surrender when my brothers died? Did... Sign in to see full entry.

Life sucks

Today I have arrived at a point where I can no longer accept what goes on around me. It seems as if the whole world is against me. In the past year my life has crumbled. I tried to pick it up. but only got so far until I got the next kick in the face. Each time I reached into the well of... Sign in to see full entry.

She’ll Never Understand Me

She’ll Never Understand Me Intellectually I know that love is a difficult emotion to grasp, but emotionally I am lost. I often wonder if the woman I love truly understands what I am going through. Does she really have no idea the depth of what I feel? I know that we came from different love... Sign in to see full entry.

Life’s Battle

As a young man of 17 I aspired to be a Marine. I watched my older brother’s become men, as they had done the same. I remember the respect they received and how it seemed they were forever changed. Most people would cringe at the thought of going to Marine Corps Boot Camp, but hell was my home;... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost Innocence

As an adult child of an alcoholic parent I realize now how dysfunctional my upbringing was. Normal for me was something I experienced everyday, but it was actually very far from that. We often shelter ourselves from reality because we really don't want to face the truth. Sure, there were happy and... Sign in to see full entry.

Be a Man Son "Be a man son". That is what my father always told me. Apparently it was important to my father that I act according to his liking. Being a man is what I set out to do;even though I was in essence, still very much a boy. I had some very big shoes to fill in my quest to be a man.... Sign in to see full entry.
