Sadness,
Anger,
Jealousy,
Self-Rejection,
All feelings that the mind has practiced and remembered thousands of times.
Remember when your little sisters best friend found out she had cancer? She lost all her hair from chemo and wasn’t able to come back to school. For three years she fought the disease, wore wigs and tried to look and act normal, even though she was fighting for her life. How her parents lost their jobs and had to go on welfare to survive because their daughter was always in the hospital. Then one day their daughter told them she was done fighting for her life, and refused medical care. She was 11 when she died. It was so sad.
Remember when Dad was drunk and you took the keys so he couldn’t drive but he was being an asshole and fought to get his keys? You didn’t want to give them to him but he wouldn’t stop, so you told him if he wanted to be stupid that was his choice and you gave him the keys. No child should have to go through that with their parent, but you did. He drove away and ran a stop sign and hit a car head on that had a child in the car. Dad always got away with things . . . luckily no one was injured, and of course he got away with it, and was not charged because of a police investigation error. Angry . . . he gets away with things he shouldn’t, he never learns!
Remember when you were jealous that your best friend had a boyfriend that was cool? You secretly thought he was really hot and did not tell anyone the way you felt. First time her boyfriend was alone with you and talked to you, you flirted with him. You were so jealous of your friend’s relationship that you took advantage and slept with her man behind her back the first chance you got. Jealousy got the best of you and you acted on it.
Remember when you looked in the mirror and no longer recognized yourself? You hated the reflection that was peering back at you that whispered… “You’re not pretty anymore” or “No one wants a single mom with kids.” Slowly but surely you started dissecting yourself and withdrawing from the world. Self-Rejection is a bitch.
Sadness,
Anger,
Jealousy,
Self-Rejection,
All feelings that have been programmed and learned from birth and we continue learning through life.
The way we think,
The way we feel,
The way we act become routines that we fulfill.
A wounded mind is drama filled.
