Lily ,
You have wonderful insight and a kind heart .
I work with children – many who have difficult lives and many who have difficulties which will be life long – I think that’s why your post called to me – I don’t often write on f and f.
I do believe children can be victims because they cannot choose . I do believe that some losses in life are more than we should have to bear, like the loss of a child .
I also believe that people can find peace in their lives no matter what they have been through… but it is hard and it takes time .
Your partner sounds like a good person – I guess I always want the happy ending- and who knows- you and your partner may still have it . Sometimes i think too much in black and white – it is yet another character fault I must work on.
You say you don’t deserve love more because you have had a hard time – but perhaps – and I might be wrong – after a difficult life and difficult experiences, people expect to be loved and accepted less .
– I hope love finds you – I don’t believe there is a right time for love – I don’t believe any of us are ever in the perfect place in our lives – we can just be open and let life happen .
I hope you drop into chat sometimes . I feel you have so much to offer – you have a lovely non-judgemental way of looking at things – I feel you are a very warm person with so much to give and despite everything you have suffered I don’t detect the slightest note of bitterness .
I have learned from you today . Thank you Lily
