Hello.

This is KJ,

I recently rejoined Gaia after a lot of soul searching, almost exclusively to join this group.  I remember trying it before, but I wasn't nearly as honest with myself about what I was going through.  I tended to cover up my inner problems with impressing other people.

Anyway, while I feel kinda like an AA meeting member, I'm back here hoping to find some help with a multitude of problems I've uncovered in myself.  Glad to introduce myself and I promist to keep up with it this time, as I'd rather get over these things than let them stay repressed.

Love

Re: Hello.

Welcome. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

Re: Hello.

KJ Its lovely to see you here. Life has its own rhythm and sometimes we need to hibernate and work through things by ourselves and sometimes we need to bounce our thoughts and feelings off other people. Dont be too hard on yourself if you dont feel ready to face some things that are too difficult to face. When the time is right you will address them. You clearly have the wisdom and the courage to know when you need to back off and when you are ready to move on again. Impressing others is just a way of making ourselves feel better about ourselves. Many people use it. Facing up to that and being honest with yourself is the truly admirable thing. I admire your honesty. I believe this group is a safe place, with caring insightful people to connect with.
((((many hugs))))

Re: Hello.

We are all on this journey together, sometimes our inner self cries to be heard, sometimes our outer self sheds the tears.  We always meet the right people for our journey work and on Gaia we are blessed with such generosity of spirit that we cannot fail to gain insight into what needs to change to make our lives work smoothly once more.  I pray that you will find what you need to help you journey further into new beginnings…your inner jewel is just waiting to be acknowledged…
In peace

Re: Hello.

Welcome, KJ…
As you share your challenges and successes with fellow travelers, the positive energy increases and will benefit you–and the rest of us here. This is a lesson that I still need to fully learn. I tend to cover up my inner struggles by being vague, too busy and closed off to others.
May you find at least some of what you seek here.
Peace,
Mystic Mike

Re: Hello.

Welcome, or should that be “Welcome Back”?
Glad you're here with us, have fun!

Re: Hello.

Thank you for the enormous welcome back everyone…

I've already made the decision to get out and make more positive friends and spend more time in positive places.  I have lots of online friends, but not so many offline.  I'm still looking for my niche I guess.  I know I will find it though.  Just a matter of time.

Re: Hello.

KJ, wishing you the joy of finding as many friends offline as you have online. May you find the way to clear all hindrances which come between you and who you wish to be

love

Re: Hello.

Hello KJ,
I do not know you, but I understand the journey you are in (and we are each in our own journey here and everywhere). If there is one experience I dare to suggest to you is this one : love your self more then today, look to yourself to what made you feel proud of (e.g. coming back to Gaia, among other moments of course) feel yourself back in that happiness, that warmth, that confort, and enjoy it..treasure it, and call upon it when you are back in doubt about yourself, some attitude, some actions.. at that moment others will see a new and true action/reaction of KJ and love you for that, even if they don't start to applaude, or to say it or to thank you for it… you will “feel” their change in attitude, and you will feel  what this triggers in you. It will all be very subtle..and maybe you won't even sense it, but watch yourself better, think back, and you will start to see the benefits of this, the benefit of knowing your better part where you are now somehow blind for. Because deep in your heart you are good, you are great, you have all what you need to be your best self. Of course its will take some time, but is is like starting to learn byke riding.. remember when you were young? So , a warm welcome back
