“To You, All of You Out There” ~ a personal message from Brittny Lee aka Fieryeyes

To you, the scorned, my heart goes out to you.

To you, who are being ignored or forgotten, I have felt your pain once.

To you, who may have that lost someone close and felt like your insides were on fire, I’ve been

in that very same hell.

To you, who are experiencing an extreme hardship with money, I am facing that now.

To you, who are struggling with your weight, I am trying to be healthy.

To you who are feeling guilty, sad or as if you’re letting someone down,

I am going back and forth with those emotions every day.

To those who felt they have lost it all, you have only more to gain.

                    Everyone is suffering for something, even if it’s just in their subconscious and they are unaware as to what is burdening them. It can be so difficult to bare your feelings when you can’t simply put your finger on what exactly you’re upset about. It can be an even trickier task when you’re suffering from a mental disorder like schizophrenia, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, anxiety or depression. Some of us brothers and sisters in Christ suffer from all. I know someone very close to me who suffers from 4 of those listed above and then some. Life can be hard enough when you feel as if you’re the only one who is feeling these things. There have been so many foolish nights that I have spent along in my room crying into my oversize rag doll’s chest. It took three very good friends of mine and I’m sure many others, to awaken me to the possibility that no one should have to face these adversities alone. Whether you’re a Christian, Muslim, Protestant, Buddhist, Wican or Pagan… or any person… you should never have to feel the back side of the human race. You should never have to shed one tear without a shoulder to cry on. You should receive only sympathy or empathy for whatever you are going through mainly because most other people have been through it or know someone who has. I love everyone. Even people who have abandoned or hurt me deeply because I know for a fact that they have suffered at some point in their lives. I also forgive and love them because life is complicated enough without adding hate to your emotional pool, in which is most likely already overflowing.  I know mine is. I don’t have to share my experiences with you for you understand what I am getting at with this little tirade. But just in case, I’ll reiterate my point J No one should have to feel alone, forgotten, useless, betrayed, abandoned, be castigated, mocked or abused. However, since it still happens and will happen. We need to trust that the ones close to use will help us in our time of need by talking with us, letting us rant, letting us cry in their embrace and so on.  And if we know someone who is suffering, even if we don’t particularity like them or enjoy their presence, we should try to offer a helping hand. You never know what they may be struggling with.

 

 

This little anecdote explains where my inspiration for writing the above stemmed… God Bless everyone. I love you all… literally… you ALL!! 😀

Had an experience today.. This experience put me in an amazing mood. This woman named Elaine at King’s College had told me last semester to speak with her and I was always too busy before. As luck would have it, I got to work early and left early. So…. I had an hour free. So I decided what the heck? Why not go speak with this woman.. See the reason she had me interested in speaking with her was 

because she noticed my necklace.. you all know the one i wear, my jesus cross and saturn. She asked me the interpretation and I replied, ” Jesus is the universe.” So, today we met up and spoke for 10 or 15 minutes. During that time, she asked me to give her my interpretation of a painting she had hung on her wall. It was a large painting of Jesus hanging from a large cross and his head was facing downward. My interpretation was that we all have our crosses to bare. She told me she was speechless and that no other student had told her that before. She went on to say that there was something about me. Something deep and spiritual. I hope to GOD that she is right. I hope to be doing GOD and Jesus justice. When we meet up the next time, she is going to let us start out a conversation by telling our life stories or as she put it, “talking about ourselves.” haha she was a very friendly older woman with kind eyes. I think we will have plenty to discuss when school starts up in the fall.
