As usual, my posts are at the bottom of the page.

My mum was watching a Caroline Myss talk yesterday, and the latter mentioned how many people have fantasies where they are rescued, and concluded that she wants to slap those people silly for inventing those fantasies. I instantly felt like I deserved to be slapped silly for seeking solace in fantasies like that during the two and a half years of fear, or for doing something useful like rescuing myself and my mum instead of standing there helplessly, terrified, whenever the storms came again. The fantasies followed a similar pattern--I would make up a little avatar of myself, who would be rescued from a wretched situation by an androgynous wizard, and the two would live happily together. Those two characters have stuck with me ever since, and continue to show up in my books in various guises. Funny how those things happen. Of course, Caroline Myss has a bit of a reputation of being a 'gritty mystic', and in reading her books I've felt rather intimidated and sad that, from what she implies, even spirituality can be so harsh.
I think that if I ever tried to write a book with a villain, the end result would be the main character would go up to the villain, say 'I love you', and hug them. Of course, if the villain was genre savvy, the character would be dead before they even got to 'I-', so...

Good to hear k!
I think it is something most of us have some difficulty with for a variety of reasons... As mentioned feeling down and depressed is not only an environmental thing but can actually change the brain-structure and negativity can become somewhat addictive just as much as being positive as i believe it is the same areas of the brain that are associated with both positive and negative experiences... Again , also something i am having to learn to redo. Used to be much more positive but without sounding like the ''victim'', life experiences for a variety of reasons made me much more pessimistic, self loathing, less confident, less self esteem and trust issues... Trying to change that around somewhat. One step at a time

I reset to 48 hours of quasi-hex PGP & JSON encryption hash keys.

Trying to change that around somewhat. One step at a time I agree with Biggles. Yesterday, while watching a sci-fi series, I picked-up this quote:
"You have to make peace with yourself in order to survive. " ... and to thrive in this world, I would like to add.

Yo Raleigh Finally got some sleep this end Thought you were away for a few days? Addiction of WP too much to bear for more than 24 hours away? lol
^^ Cool, thanks, it isnt easy, but then nothing is that has the potential to be good... One must understand the bad in things to fully understand the goodness. It just depends on how long one needs to spend in the pits of ''hell'' before one has learnt to change things around
