When everything is falling down around me. When I feel hopeless and unsure. When the scariest part of life is realizing it is all in my mind, and that I am trapped inside with it all... When there is nobody around but me to hold myself together...
I go into the bathroom in my garage. Keep the lights off, and sit in the shower for as long as I need. I imagine a small light inside me, faint at first. But it grows. And it gets brighter! It begins pushing out the doubts and fears. The hurt... the confusion. It continues to grow. Now parts are surrounding me. Not only is it healing me, but now it is keeping out anything more from attacking me. The light eventually surrounds my whole self. I begin saying over and over. "I belong. I am small in the universe, but every small part is important! I belong!"
I then step out and think...
"Some days, I am just grateful to be alive!"
