Poems and more from the Heart, Soul, Mind and Spirit

RedKat{Not now } - I understand completely how you feel because I also have trust issues. At some point you have to trust though, take your time getting to know that person and always trust your gut instinct. I made several mistakes and I am sure I will make more but I am always guarding my heart. This site has a lot of great information on bdsm and surely there are books... I hope you have a better experience next time!

Rosybeth​(sub female){Not Lookin} - The One we can trust is the One whom we have always been able to trust: the good Lord almighty 😊

As far as human beings go, yes—we need to exercise caution but not do so to the point where we hurt ourselves with loneliness and isolation, which I hope you are not doing :(

Sending hugs your way...

RedKat{Not now } - I have become a good hermit...

HEAVEN'S STARCHILD​(switch female) - Yes, hermit mode it is. I'm back at square one, honestly. I'm just going to focus on other things in my life. Being here is not worth it anymore.

JeZZiKa​(sub female){{Not looki} - This really hit home for me. I hope it is ok to comment. I was here after my divorce. I have spent a lot of time alone. I needed that isolation to feel safe. I have gone through so many huge emotions it is a wonder I have not lost my mind! 😂
But there comes a time you need to heal. Truly heal and that means feeling all of the pain, all of the hurt, recognizing what got you there and the most important part- NOT STAYING there. Finding your inner beast that can conquer when you cannot. I am a stubborn person, therefore I refuse to let anyone keep me down. I learned I am in charge of my well being, peace and happiness. No one else. Find your worthiness in yourself and not from others. Daily mantras beat into yourself until you believe them. I learned, researched, dug into others perspectives to find what I needed. To find a perspective that brought me peace. People are people. They are not perfect. They will hurt you. Whether it is on purpose or accident. I have found it is best for me to surround myself with those that have an inner goodness and truly want to be good ethically uplifting people. To speak up for myself, little by little. My circle is small but that is ok, they are wonderful people.
The struggle is still there and I have to constantly work on myself and battle those negative thoughts but it gets easier.
I have finally come to the point of getting out and trying more to trust more people.
I truly hope you find some peace, happiness, and healing within yourself, for yourself.
