“Goodbye to Partying”

It's not normal to party and sleep away a beautiful "sunshine lollie-pop" kind day on the couch! I want to go for a walk! I have a new life now with real friends and family who love me as I can now love myself. Thank you for showing me how good it feels to finally be able to picture myself in 5 years!!

Letter to Addiction

Just thought I should let you know this is not a  trial separation. At some point our relationship became more serious and in this things soured. Despair, contempt, and hopelessness became common, and yet I still kept you in my life. WHY? I have come close to losing everything , my family , my friends and my life. I have allowed you to abuse me, that’s enough of that. This is the end. I chose life, love and completeness over your lonely dark pit of despair.

Dear Addiction

You know you are my greatest weakness but what you do not know is you are also my greatest strength. You took everything I hold dear in this world away from me. It took you bringing me down to my lowest point for me to discover the strength I carry within myself. I’m going to use these memories to fuel my drive to the future.

Black Hole

For as long as I  can remember there has always been this deep black hole inside me and like the black holes in space, always moving and churning and never ending. A black hole of negative inertia with an indefinite velocity that I have never been able to stop. I’ve lost my childhood and my teens to the hole.I’ve lost my health in the hole. I’ve lost friends to the hole. I’ve lost people’s respect and trust to the hole. I’ve lost dreams and realities to the hole. I’ve lost my best intentions to the hole.I’ve lost time to the hole. I’ve lost love to the hole. I’ve lost my brother to the hole. I’ve lost my son to the hole. I’ve lost myself to the hole. I will not lose anymore to the hole.I have found courage and I have found the strength and I have found my inner allies and I will travel deep into the cosmos of my own mind and my own soul and I will travel to the end of the hole. I will travel through the fear and pain. I will travel through the resent and anger. I will travel through the blame and the hopelessness. I will travel through the bitterness and isolation. I will travel through the failures and mistakes. I will travel through guilt and frustration. I will travel to the end of the hole and through to the other side. And on the other side I will break through and I will find wisdom and clarity, I will find my dreams and my energy and my balance. I will find self-love and I will find self-acceptance and I will find happiness and I will find me, Leissa

I’m like a sandwich, there’s lots of good stuff in the middle.
