on loneliness

by purplesofa in

jw

is loneliness.

the feeling of wanting to share with another and .

there is no one to share with?.

Metamorphosis

I don't think loneliness is necessarily a bad thing - it depends on it's cause and how we deal with it.

I am very comfortable in my skin and with who I have become as a person. However that being said, I love to share life. I love to have someone near to express my view of the world to, to share my experiences with and in turn hear their insights and views on whatever situation is being experienced. I feel it is often through that kind of give and take that we can grow as individuals - simply by seeing through another's eyes at times. So I definitely miss those things and consider them under the term lonliness.

Now, does it adversely affect my life? No - I still go out and experience those things, I still travel, I still attemp to expand my horizons. But there is that part of me that says - wow - it would be great to be sharing this with someone - to let them see how I see things - to see how they view it etc...

It's not a part of me that's missing - but maybe part of the growth of who I could become.

dear friends,.

maybe you're not that interested but i'm so in love, after many years of unhappy marriage.

i'm in love with a forbidden "worldly" man but still he's the best guy and most kind and genuin person i've ever known and he likes me back.

Congratulations! Happy to hear things are positive and you're experiencing such joy...

Emotionally drained

by heybaby in

we got into another "discussion" about the validity of the wts and whether or not they teach the truth....i expected that, so it wasn't a big deal.

what i didn't expect is the interesting turn that the conversation took.

we actually discussed getting a divorce.

Metamorphosis

It's hard to let go of something that you have built your life around for many years, no matter whether it was happy or unhappy.

I can wholeheartedly testify to that statement. Even though my ex cheated on me, left me, and wanted a divorce - there was the part of me that still cried out to try to make it work after 10 years together. Again - my thoughts are with you as you go through this.

HeyBaby,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I think alot of JW"s end up getting married too young and later find out they don't really know each other. My ex and I had to work constantly at our relationship even when we were both "in" due to the fact as well.

I certainly am not in any position to try to give advice, I kind of flopped my last test on the subject - but hopefully you two can come to a common understanding of what you want whether that is staying together or parting so that whatever conclusion is reached it at least will be mutual.

Keep your chin up - remember life has it's speedbumps but overall the journey can be wonderful. Hoping you can start enjoying it soon.

I Live For Today - No Longer Fear the Future- After Exiting the Witnesses

by flipper in

jw
friends

as some know here - i was born in the witnesses .

raised in it and stayed in for 44 long years !

i don't believe in armageddon.

Metamorphosis

Fortunately for me it wasn't a slow process. The hardest part was actually getting to a place in life I could leave that behind and not be surrounded by it. Once that happened it was as a switch was thrown. I love life - every experience, good or bad, offers insight on how to grow as a person. I have no fears of an angry God and have fully opened up myself to the possibilities around me. As JW's you are so focused on the future and what might be you forget to pause and take in everything around you.

Yes - not everyone else is comfortable with my decisions. But you know what - I am. And that is enough.

Can I start a new chapter of my life?

by redredrose in

Metamorphosis

I have not only started a new chapter - i've started a completely new book. It's not near as tough as I thought it would be. While the last book was a 'horror' story, i'm planning to make this one action packed from page one!!

Good Luck to you as you move on and experience new opportunities and new experiences.

Life can be simply amazing when you take the time and embrace it.
