Comments on: MAGNIFIQUE LIBERTE http://hopenminded.com/2009/06/30/magnifique-liberte/ Im connected and connecting all the time. Sometimes I need a little eye opener and sometimes you do too.

Thank you for your comments. <br /><br />Kay, your response moved me. Its the reason I share. I honestly hope to be moved and move others through sharing our experiences and insights. <br /><br />Personally I have been able to rid myself of ever saying "I would take that back". I think of it this way, If I happen to hurt someone else along my path then there was a reason for that also. Think about all the other people have learned or will learn from even the harm we may have caused through our own ignorance. If you and I can grow and learn from the pain that has been put on us the same goes for those we may have hurt. Oh my I'm so glad I came back here to check and see if anyone read it.

Your words to him are so sweet. <br /><br />I totally know what you mean about accepting the good and bad experiences in the past. Through reflection, I've come to accept that without the pain, loss, and insecurity I wouldn't be where I am now. And, that's what matters. :) The part about your husband tugged on my heart.

I just couldn't put aside and let it sit.<br /><br />I think what you wrote was beautiful - I've often found myself thinking the same thoughts (or similar) lately. <br /><br />Yeah, I was screwed up. I might regret a few things. But overall? I can't be ashamed of who I was anymore. I don't want to be. I was who I was for a reason, that was my way of coping, of learning, of dealing with it all. And until I learn(ed?) to let go of the shame and guilt - how the hell can I love myself? <br /><br />So - I've come to the decision of NO MORE. Yes, I would take back a few things, the ones that hurt those important to me. The rest? Are a part of my past, my history. Part of what made me who I am today. And now that I'm starting to like myself, I'm okay with that. Because I wouldn't be me without them. <br /><br />Just... wow. You really said it all, and so damn well, too. There's a lesson of some sort in everything. And this post gave me a shitload to think about as far as my own past. Thanks for that ;) I just found your blog not too long ago, and have a few posts marked to come back and comment on, but this one? I just couldn't put aside and let it sit.
