Diversity

Hi Pia,
I admire you, for writing your thoughts down, it
takes so much courage to come through the bad times
and come out the other side, also to sustain
normality when under pressure.
It takes alot of courage, and you show that courage
well.
Jenny.

Really powerful, the ending to this is, Pia, and so honest each line before it. I've so much admiration for your bravery with this one, and with the eloquent and gentle way you've woven it into this piece. I too can relate to the emotion and mindset here - onwards and upwards, Sister, and keep writing - this was a great read, thank you :)

I too, admire your honesty,Pia, and like Rachel I found myself relating to the emotions.

Tina;-)

Thanks Jenny- it takes time to get to grips with it and the courage is seeing the truth of today and not in the past. That is the best part of it- the present. Thank you very much for your truly kind words. Glad you got around to reading it- really appreciate it.
Pia ;)

Dear Rachel I do appreciate your reading this one- it does give me a sense of power trying to relate the past mishaps knowing that the present is so much better. Thanks again.Glad you could relate to some of it- then I'm not alone
Pia;)

Hi Tina- yes the emotions are evidently not my own alone. Thank you for reading and commenting and your kind words. I have always been very honest-that can have its drawbacks ;)

pressed the button twice again ;D

'and thus deprived myself of the true values of life,'

Great work with revealing your emotions in this piece, the above line was the best for me.
Really shows a dark and shadowed style to your writing.

Well done.

Hi Pia - this is very moving and very thought provoking. What struck me is how you are learning to be glad for what you have found/recovered, and while regretting what you can never be again, not consuming all your energy in bitterness or self recrimination. That's a really hard thing to do. Thank you for sharing this - it has obviously struck a chord with a lot of us.

Thank you Pinda for reading and your kind comment

Margharita- yes I am very happy now and proud of myself. Thank you for your thorough comment.

An honest piece of work that makes it such a powerful read. Thanks for going to what I imagine must have been a difficult place.

That was a very kind comment maggy- thanks a lot- I feel a bit stupid being so honest but I have to live with this every day so I think you know how much space it occupies?
cheers
Pia ;)

Your honesty isn't stupidity at all, Pia, it's admirable courage and you should be proud! This poem has certainly helped me to see things in my own life in a different light and I'm sure it has done the same for everyone else who's read it - your bravery has had a very positive effect and the poem it's produced is brilliant :)

Inspired by your determination, I'm going to tackle the washing now :)

Thank you very much Rachel for the ever so kind words. I have just finished my washing. 2 loads today all the way over to the basement laundromat. Phew- I hate it.
;)
Pia

You're very welcome, Pia. Now to find all the partners to the pile of odd socks I've acquired - the joys of womanhood, eh ;o)

Pia, bravery is not always stupid, I very much like honesty especially writings on here and am glad you're proud of yourself! :) K x

Thanks Kahdai
cheers
Pia ;)

Really inspired me, this one.

Sometimes, I think we need to break free of restraints and just write.
Well done =)

Thanks EpheLuw
