Being picked 'at' , picked 'on', and held back is like the heroine at the end of the trilogy getting shot and plummeting to her death only to get impaled on impact. Ouch. Good thing it's just a story though; now that she's dead, you get the boons...authorship over the re-write. :-) I am very proud to be your sister. sniff sniff. Love you, XxX I truly share your pain.

I am learning how to be positive in all situations. If you are searching for tools, this is one of the tools I use... When I become aware that my habitual negativity has returned, I refocus my brain on positive thoughts. Luckily my mind can only house one thought at a time, so I simply replace the negative talk with positive ones. It takes a conscious effort, a lot of repetition and faith, but it works. Keep being honest and writing from the heart Kylen. I love it! We can learn a lot about ourselves when we listen to our internal dialogue. I am learning how to be positive in all situations.

If we look at the world in a beautiful light then we can see beauty, and more importantly interact with it. What you wrote rang a bell with me growing up as well, and each journey we embark on is guided by the hope that we beileve we are doing the right thing. I have done things I am not happy about but I also have the strength to learn from those things and to make them an asset and not a liability. Thank you Kylen, your article was both moving and very honest! It is refreshing to see! In this day where your words unfortunately are not heard or read by enough people, here is hope that you will gain a broad audience as your words are real, and have meaning! Cheers to you, it is in one word.... awesome! It is when we look inside our selves that we can tend to be our harshest critiques.
