Nervous Break Down (An Anthology)

These are lines that stuck out to me when reading a book called Wild Mind, Living the writers life. By, Natalie Goldberg. (Part 11)

She had a nervous breakdown because she didn't know who she was. (I can relate & it also feels like, oh that explains it!)

The artist & the alcoholic have parallel paths. They both go into darkness, but the alcoholic gets stuck there. The artist if she is not also addicted goes into the darkness & is transformed by the experience & comes out much more alive. (I agree with this I have been into that darkness, I am currently finding my way out.)

The good thing is that the artist can move through experience, learn from it & not be caught by it. (Don' get caught up!)

Insanity was getting stuck in a thought & not being able to let go. (I've been in insane many times)

Once you begin a book, no matter how much you hate it you have to finish it. (So true for me as well)

When would have been perfect time? Never. You can't wait for that you have to go ahead. (There are times that are better than others in my opinion)

We spend a lot of time holding up white castles of our parents society. These have nothing to do with ourselves or with the truth. Holding them up is a great burden. They're not real castles n-e-way more like fake plaster castles of the cheap hamburger chain. My parents have already made their lives. This is my life now, I have to live it. If I say the truth and am condemned 4 it, then something is wrong. Yes there are many truths, but I should be free to say mine. We are not encouraged to do that. Our society is in denial, so of course it is hard to say what you see as a writer & not feel crazy. Do Not worry that you should wait until the perfect moment. We have to make a perfect moment, we can't wait around. ( I'm working on telling my story, my truth)

Finding Self PT 10 (Watch Me Flow)

After the injury everything changed. Being laid up like that with no help. I had to hobble to the market only to be ran over by crowds of people that I couldn't keep up with. Being left by the Lyft because the driver couldn't figure out how to come around the corner. Just feeling helpless, abandoned and stranded. Feelings like this will put things in a different perspective really fast. Some people out there have major support and people around to help when things get tough and some people simply just don't. For me I'm one of the one's that don't but I find that strangers are always kinder to me than my own family who is by society's standards supposed to be our first safety net & supporters. N-E-how being laid up like that and alone I had more uninterrupted time to think than I ever did in my life. Self reflection questions that I never even thought of started to pop into my mind. The first one was career wise. The question was ...

A Fabulous Personal Home Assistant

Being a Personal Home Assistant is more than just a job to me. It's a peaceful and satisfying experience that I look forward to with each appointment booked. When I walk into a client's home, I take pride in knowing that I'm not just cleaning their space, but also making their lives comfortable & more enjoyable. There's something about the feeling of a clean home that just makes everything better. And when my clients are happy with my work, it makes me happy too! It's a sense of accomplishment that one can't quite describe. I know that some people might think that being a cleaning person is a menial job, but I see it as so much more than that. It's about taking care of people's homes & when you do it with professionalism as well as confidence, it becomes something truly special. My clients trust me with their homes & their belongings; I take that responsibility seriously. It's not just about cle...
