This is for all you readers.......
When do you feel at your best?
Is it when you're connected? When you identify, when you feel part of, secure, heard, understood, listened to? Part of modern life is that we sometimes feel so disconnected and alone. it's weird considering we're all on Facebook, Whats App, text, Instagram or messenger all day. We're always connected aren't we? Never alone?
Well yes and no. There is a huge power in being connected to a large amount of people. That's why meetings are so good. That's why being connected on Twitter or Whats App whilst watching large events is so fun.
Remember the Olympic Opening Ceremony? The London Riots? 7/7? All of these we watch and want to share our feelings. I did. On Facebook and Twitter. It enhanced the experience. It made me more engaged. When we are connected at the same time. It is powerful, fun, challenging and thrilling. There is a special power in being together. It shows me, together We Are Stronger.
And in my own little way I feel this way about my blog. You are reading it along with 50-100 other people. Some of you I know. Some of you are total strangers. Some of you are recovering addicts and share the same disease as me, some merely share my human experience. We are all different, yet all the same.
We all have this thing called life in common. We are all human beings. We all love, hate, cry, laugh, feel fear, worry, get frustrated, horny. Some of us worry about money, some of us don't. Some of us are happy, some not.
The thing I love is that you're reading this. We are all connecting. I know this because I get messages from you. You don't know that other people are sending me messages just like you. Without even knowing it you are connecting with others. Because you are feeling the same. You are not alone. We aren't alone.
I love that. I love you for reading this. I love you for being you. For reaching out. For messaging. For supporting me. For sharing this. For being part of our little community.
You may not know it but you've found something special in this blog. You are in it at the beginning. This will turn into something. You mark my words. It maybe part of a movement, a gang, a reason. I'm not sure quite what yet. I'm not sure how, or when, or what - but I am trying here to find the truth. To out my insides and encourage you too. To share, to be together. To tell the truth. To not be embarrassed about feeling weak, or fearful, or worried.
i am convinced what I am doing is something. Fuck knows what but you don't hear much of the truth these days. From paedos, to judges to lifestyle coaches selling a seminar. When do you really connect with someone trying to find the truth? I hope that's what I'm doing in my own little way.
So I love you. Please give yourself a pat on the back. I feel close to you, connected. Some days there are 50 of you, some days 150. I know I have my daily readers and my biggest advocates (Kate you are awesome because every day you share this blog to your community)
I am humbled by my messages this week. I had another today. I am so touched. I am so so touched.
Love you all
Together We Really Are Stronger
