Where I’ve Been

Have lost count of all the mistakes I’ve made.
Been down so many times, Depression has become my middle name.
Known Guilt, Shame, and Sorrow on a first name basis.
Loneliness is not just a state of mind, it is also an address.

Yet I have endured. Why? Only God knows the answer to that.
Time has not always been good to me, but it never turned its back.
Memories sometimes grow fuzzy, yet they remain.
Tears and laughter have never eradicated one another.
And age has crept up behind me without so much as a whisper.

Now I find myself here. In uncharted territory. I never dreamt that I would join a chat room. To be honest, I never thought I would travel on the internet. If you are willing I will share my thoughts (such as they are) and opinions on myriad subjects. Sometimes I’ll be serious. Sometimes I may be facetious. But always will I be true.

    1. Thank you Steve. I won’t presume to speak for anyone else. Have enough trouble speaking for myself. However if my words and thoughts touch the heart or mind of another I will truly feel blessed.

  1. I don’t think anyone asks for anything more than just being truthful on here Jackie. However little or lot you chose to post is a matter for the individual and we are from one end of the spectrum to the other in all areas on here… but there is in 99 per cent, a common ground somewhere. Look forward to reading your posts Jackie and a very big welcome.

  2. Feel blessed jackie – I can relate to your post, and I too never thought I would join a chat room, but I am so glad I did – the wonderful friends I have made on here have gotten me through some tough times. So glad you came on board xoxox
