I want to be a better version of me. For the first time in a long time I like myself and the only things I have to prove are to me. So who will I be? I'll be me, wiser, more stable, more emotionally available and more financially free.

Who did you/do you want to be when you grew up?
by Crumpet inwhen i was 9 i wanted to be daisy duke from the dukes of hazzard, but had to put aside the dream when i realised my legs weren't going to ever get any longer.. when i was 12 i wanted to be ghandi, but realised wars wouldnt stop because i missed breakfast.. when i was 16 i decided that by leaving the borg and living fast and hard enough being alice cooper was achievable.. now i'm 32 i think i'd quite like to have the sensuous, striking confidence and certainty of helen mirren when i grow up.. who did you want to be and why?.

My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land ini guess it's about time i write my story.
i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.
i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

thank you for telling your story. I'd love to hear how you came to the conclusion to leave the org and if your siblings followed suit.

Having a bit of difficulty here...
by wanderlustguy ini haven't posted much in a while because i've been in deep thought about some recent events and trying to sort them all out.
i think you guys all know me well enough to know if i'm just freakin nuts or not...so assuming you all think i am sane...does this sound crazy to anyone else?.
when i got here, people kept telling me that if you come here, walk here, and are supposed to be living here, you will do so within a month of touching the ground.

D,
I think we have shared enough that you'll understand what I'm going to say. I think there are few times in our lives when we realize our potential to effect and affect what is around us. I think of these moments as being 'godlike'. The moments are like dreams where we realize that we are dreaming and then change our landscape around us. Unfortunately like dreams we wake up and the world changes. I think though that the reality is sustainable as long as we dont allow our internal doubts or external negativity to burst the bubble. We watch what we take in and allow to control our subconcious and then its okay.

Dumping out my purse
by sweetface2233 inladies, how many of you have had this happen?
your cell phone is stashed in your purse and it starts ringing.
you plunge your hand in, hoping to grab it and begin the call.

i find that if i give my fears to much power i become totally useless and am incapable of accomplishing anything. i try to put the fears aside because then all those rules and limits they kept slamming us with in that cult........... it all goes away ... if only for a while and i find i can accomplish so much more than i ever dared to dream before. all built upon successes i accomplished one by one
powerful statements

You don't look too scared to be Luke, those tattoos look painful for someone who's afraid... LOL! Good luck my bros.
pain is relative i guess. i try not to let anything scare me or at least to still act in spite of the fear.
You are a poet and have a beautiful mind.
that is a beautiful comment changeling. i thank you for it.

Hey Dawg, how's it goin'? I totally agree that there is no "Personal Jesus" to take away our sins. I think that our "sins" die with us. The best we can all do is try to be good people and try to do what's best for us and not hurt anybody in the process. If and when God decides to come and tell us all what he really thinks, that's my course of action. Besides, I don't think He'd have a problem with it.
agreed. i think though that the way we grew up was in a mentality that someone or something was going to fix us or whatever it was that got us down for the day. all we had to do was keep our heads down, drink the kool-aide and make sure we thanked those who gave it to us. but now its on us. that is scary as hell. but its exciting as hell too.
