Every man and woman has a deep dark secret which he keeps buried in his heart. A secret which, given the chance, he might himself wish he never knew. It needn't be the sinister thing it probably sounds. It may be quite trivial. A hurt caused by a casual remark. A failure at an examination. Getting caught in a lie. These can deeply affect the psyche of a person and dog him till the end of his days.
Many years ago, when I was in my 20's, I plucked up, after a long bout of hesitation, the courage to ask a girl out. Now if she was not interested, she could have politely refused saying perhaps that she was already committed to someone else. That would have been very acceptable. Something that can be easily understood and gotten over. But no. She had to hurt. She laughed. Yes she laughed in my face, saying not only I was not man enough for her, but that my friend, who in truth did resemble Omar Sharif was far, far more attractive to any girl. Ask him if he would like to take me out, she said. As for you, she said, you're not my idea of a man, and I doubt if any other girl would want to spend time with you. That was abig blow to my self-esteem and confidence, and i don't think I have fully recovered from it yet. Not even after 35 years or so.
Today I'm a married man with two grown children, but the thought of that insult still recurs. It's easy to say, come on snap out of it, she is not worth hurting over, etc. But when you're at the receiving end, it's not not so easy to forget. The only consolation, if it is indeed a consolation, is that she didn't find happiness in marriage. She went through two divorces and is living alone and childless. Probably deserves the life she got. God's justice.
Lesson? Deliberately causing pain to someone else is no good for that person, and also no good for you. You somehow get paid back in your own coin sooner or later. That's God's divine justice.

That I live a fractured life, that everything around me is teetering on the edge of disaster, a row of domino's all set up and all it would take is one little nudge for one to fall, and they would all fall, one after another. My world could explode at any moment and the fact that I smile everyday and be as carefree as possible so no one can see how bad it all is, and so bad that I cannot ask for help, because nobody could possibly understand how I let it get so bad..... so I pretend all is well..... that is my biggest secret that nobody knows.....

That my vulnerability is a strength...
Some people think I'm weak because I can be emotional. The truth is that I have the courage to express my emotions. I don't hide or deny them. I embrace them. Some people refuse to feel their feelings. They try to stifle them. Then they get ulcers, or they start drinking or doing drugs to "numb" themselves & turn into zombies. Life is to be experienced. I feel all of my sorrow & all of my joy. It makes me feel more alive & is inspiration for my art & music.

I have the strength and tenacity of a lion. I have suffered greatly with allergies et al in my lifetime and I think people possibly have perceived me as being a bit mild and weak...!!! Against all odds I will always survive.
