Something occurred to me. Mind you this is no big revelation, just something I haven't thought of recently. The thought was; my circumstances are not unique to the human experience. I am not the first person to feel despair and loss, to feel lost. It feels less lonely when you know others have felt it before you, with you and will after you as well. It isn't just the despair though, it's all of it. All of the emotions, I refer to them as the "peaks and valleys of Lori". I have had some incredibly wonderful experiences that most people cannot imagine.
None of the experiences last, good or bad (we have covered this ). But what does last is the memories. Therefore only one thing holds true...
No matter your position in life, if you are lucky you will be old. The only thing you will have left is your memories of your human experience.
I can say this for my human experience thus far, it hasn't been dull or boring.

having been thru those same moments and sometimes have had friends turn away from me because of them, I totally understand. What has gotten me thru is my "snapshots" in my head. Those moments in life that were so perfect that they will always be with me and have more than once gotten me thru a tough down time.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to think there really is NO experience, good or bad, that we alone have ever lived through.
