You just have to get some words down. Existence is my favorite quality in a blog :)

I had stumbled upon your blog the other day and could not stop reading...I just couldn't believe how much of what has been said resonates with me. After settling down a bit, I realized it's because you're doing what I've always wanted to do. Learn. Understand. Accept. Evolve and share insights with the rest of the world. I'm still struggling to do that. I have a blog that has yet to compose its first word. I have so much I want to share but for some reason they don't make its way to the screen... Your blog serves as an inspiration because it exists and for the little clues throughout that may give me the answers to why I haven't started my blog...among other things :) Wow… I had stumbled upon your blog the other day and could not stop reading…I just couldn’t believe how much of what has been said resonates with me.

Right on, that exactly where I was coming from. I loved that, thanks Chris. @ Jared -- <blockquote>Even though my past had some tragedies, I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I would not do anything differently. I had to do a million things wrong to get to exactly where I’m at today.</blockquote> That's a very enlightened point of view. Where we are now is the sum of everything that has happened so far, not just the 'good' stuff. All my mistakes and disasters were necessary for me to be where I am. I like DAVID TV now :) @ Chris — No I hadn’t read that before. Right on, that exactly where I was coming from. I loved that, thanks Chris.

@ Jared —

Even though my past had some tragedies, I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I would not do anything differently. I had to do a million things wrong to get to exactly where I’m at today.

In no way is the screen affected by the pictures, nor are the pictures affected by the screen. The screen intercepts and reflects the pictures, it does not shape them."

Letting all the experiences in my life take me to where I'm supposed to be is an amazing thing. As a victim for many years I was simply a spectator of my own life-movie. Watching it unfold tragically from the outside. Ironically, the difference is that "then" I did think the world revolved around me and that I was the star of the show. Not realizing that everyone else was also the star of their own show and had tuned out of J.A.R.E.D.TV along time ago. Even though my past had some tragedies, I wouldn't trade them for anything. I would not do anything differently. I had to do a million things wrong to get to exactly where I'm at today. <abbr><em>Jared’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SpiritualZen/~3/V5VRhp9CK4o/" rel="nofollow">What Is Love to You?</a></abbr></em> Nice article, thanks.
