The Path to Me!

I lived what many might call a tough life.

My family was dysfunctional.

My parents worked so hard just for us to live poor.

They also blamed my siblings and I for the hardship.

I barely got through high school and not without being in constant trouble.

After graduating, I left home, started working in restaurants.

I was a hostess and then waited tables.

I also fell in to partying.

And my life for a few years was party, work and party, work.

One day, I woke up feeling terrible about who I was, don’t know why, but just did.

I slipped out of the house I ended up in and made my way to my apartment.

Thankfully, I had to walk because walking slowed my mind to the pace of my feet.

And, when I was about halfway to my place, I suddenly just stopped thinking.

This lasted for just a few seconds, then I started thinking again, all those old, negative thoughts.

When I got home, it happened again, a couple of seconds of a calm mind. It was strange as hell.

I got ready for work and I was thinking all the bad thoughts again.

During my shift, I experienced a few more times of a brief quiet mind.

When I got home that night, I made a decision to try to figure what this calm mind was all about.

And, this was the start of the path to me.

Still got a long way to go, but my life is so much better for that walk home.
