Today is the day I walk down that eerie dark lane of my mind. I feel the familiar glowing eyes that watch me down the same path. I hear the whispers behind the trees, taunting me with their boring 'welcome-backs'.I feel the chill of the bitter wind over my skin.
We all have this space in our minds. As humans beings,we have this desire to lurk around in the shadows of our hearts, reliving hurts and burdens, because we need the reminder of how far down we can really go. When things work out the way we want them to in life, we question that and delve deep into the 'hidden' reasons why. We cannot accept that we have gotten the rewards that we asked for and move on. We question whether or not we actually wanted this in the first place. If we don't feel that instant gratification that we get when we do something naughty but fun, we down play the whole experience and start from scratch. Why do we doubt all our hard work that we put into elevating ourselves to be a better person..to be a free person!
So ladies and gentleman, fools and horses(?)...I'm walking along this dumb path, with the same aching head BUT at least I know this path has a happy ending. I can slip and slide in and out of this place, but my visits are getting few and far between and I know the shortcuts now.
This dark road serves a very useful purpose. It is a reference book of what we have to understand in order to appreciate what we have now. The more you hate this path, the more it sucks you dry and the more energy you feed it to grow stronger and bigger. Take a look see, remember what you came there for and move on to the finer, greener pastures of bliss and contentment. It exists and it's ALL YOURS!
