I’m moving on

Written for the weekly prompt Wednesday challenge, where the phrase this week is moving on.

Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – Moving On – Weekly Prompts

😊

Moving on from the past,

Letting go of what no longer serves,

Surviving the battles within,

Admit defeat to find peace.

Emotions run deep,

Healing wounds with hope,

Resilience in the face of adversity,

Abuse survivor, a warrior’s tale.

PTSD a constant struggle,

But the battle is worth fighting,

For in the darkness, there is light,

And in the pain, there is strength.

    “And in the pain, there is strength.”

    As a depressed teenager I carved LIFE IS PAIN into my arm. It is a constant reminder. I live for the struggle.

    Where I now teach, some students were wasting time in class playing a (pretty dumb) video game. I asked them what they got out it and they said it was fun and they learned that by driving the car faster they earned more points. I asked them how this was useful in real life and they had no answer. I told them that life is not fun. They looked at me seriously and asked me what it is and I sure told them…. LIFE IS PAIN. To reiterate the point I twisted their arms behind their backs until it hurt and asked them – WHAT IS LIFE!? PAIN, PAIN – they screamed. We all laughed (please don’t imagine that I am some sort of ruthless prison guard with my hyperbole) and they went back to their game.

    But one day…..they will remember this.

    PS – I’m curious how you read and post here if you are blind? What is your method? I ask because I often play the thought experiment of if I would rather be blind or deaf. Being an avid music fan means I would choose to be blind despite my love of reading, which could still be semi-satisfied by audio books. If this inquiry is too personal feel free to ignore/delete my comment.

      Oh no, it is fine to ask. I use my iPhone, which has voice over and it means it reads everything that is on the screen, and then, my laptop has a screen reader built in, so sometimes I blog using it, xo
