Is Happiness Really a Choice? My Journey of Realizations and the Pain Body
It’s a complex choice, not a “yes” or “no” choice, it’s multi-faceted. We choose to let go of the defense mechanisms that our pain body has put up, we chose to put in the effort to actually do something to work towards happiness by changing our thinking patterns and our behavior. We choose to stop feeding the pain body. We can think of change all we want, but that’s only a thought, action is required for real change. Probably the most difficult choice in my life has been to let happiness in, and all along I didn’t even realize that it was a choice.

My Personal Struggles With a Disease Called Drug Addiction
I longed for the innocent child in me to come back, that beautiful boy who hadn’t seen the world yet. Everything was falling apart, but the pills were like the glue keeping my life together, but once that glue was gone, it fell to pieces.

Dancing In The Dark
It’s a dangerous dance because as you’re dancing, the water splashes on to you, weighing you down, so you have to dance harder because of that extra weight, and dancing harder means bigger splashes, eventually, the splashes will reach the top of your head, you’ll be completely soaked and weighed down in the dark waters, and now you’re not dancing for fun anymore, you’re dancing to save yourself from drowning.

Escapism – We all do it, knowingly or unknowingly
Everyone or most people are addicted or dependent on something or someone, knowingly or unknowingly. But there’s one commonality between all the addictions and dependencies, Escapism.

Most of us, some more than others, are stuck under the restraints of psychological time and ego. We need to use clock time, not psychological time. Psychological time is the desire to seek fulfillment in life in the future in an attempt to escape the past. The problem in doing that is that we forget […]

His thoughts are convincing him to get rid of himself.
