Quote of the week.

Quote of the week.
David I agree totally with you. Andrei has a depth to his sense of self that is truly refreshing to see. I know he is an inspiration to me and to many others here.
 
Jake was always a big part of these forums, with his dyslexic spelling and unconditional support and friendship towards everyone.

His last post had me in tears, I was so full of rage that Jake died at 21, and full of hope that we can all come to the place was at when he died.
Jake did the work, he was healing, I think he died in peace.

Here's some words from his last posting that deserve reading - often.
Dave

fuck it was freaking beyond hell but it was the past, bad as it was , its past , it happened but it ain't happening now. Don't be scared of it, look at it, know what triggers it, and know that you were the innocent victim of evil, it sucks that there is evil out there, but we had no control over it, it didn't find us cause we were bad or worthless, it just found us for no freaking good reason, if not us it would have been someone else. The why it happened don't freaking matter, the getting better from it does, and we freaking deserve getting better.

This is an excellent quote from puppy, and he is spot on,

personally i think there should be much longer prison sentences for child molesters. its really sad that you would spend more time in prison for stealing a car than for abusing a child. and i highly doubt the guy whose car you stole would be in therapy 30 years later.

This, from Andrei, enlightened me:

I think of the word healing, and in some ways, it make sense, and in others, it seem silly to me. Like to survive the past, it is like to have the cold, and then you take the medicine and you do not sneeze or cough no more, so you are healed. I do not know that this thing we all do, this process that we do, that there is definite 'end' to it. Maybe it is more like the alcoholics or such, that they say they are always in recovering, never 'recovered'. Maybe that is us, recovering survivors. However it is, I am happy how it is right now for me. I hope it can be as this for everone some time.

From Andrei's 'Avoiding homework' post:


The feeling I get from learning from things, and working at the positive of things, it is a feeling that is worth the more work. So am I.

"A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio." - Goo Goo Dolls, Name

This line in the song has summed up my life ever since I first heard it, and has always remained my favorite song. I've always been a tired song living here on this tired world of a radio.

Then I found this site. And now it's bringing me new meaning:

The tired song is the violation I suffered that keeps replaying in my tired radio (brain).

Now to find the STOP button and let the song rest in peace. My radio sure could use the peace.

Kaceechase,

Leosha, you speak the truth as you see it, and I respect that. We should never be afraid of that.
And this 'truth' is something I believe in as well.

There are some people I just choose not to see the good in, because the bad outweighs it. That is my choice, and I am quite at peace with it.

I am also "at peace" with this feeling.

Oh, and before I forget. Do you know what triggered me to action? It was my older son entering the 7th grade. That's when it was the worst for me. I took one look at how innocent he was at that age and all I saw was what had been taken from me and I was enraged.

Zipser,
I haven't got any kids of my own so I'll never feel that rage, but I understand all the same.

It's good to know that your kids have you as a father.

"Now that we're here
So far away
All I struggled with was not in vain
And all those mistakes
One life contains
They all finally start to go away

And now that we're here
So far away
I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today."

After a lot of lurking EmanoN joins us.

Since I made this first step I feel scared but, yet I feel on top of the world taking the first steps in reclaiming my life

And what better reason than 'reclaiming his life ?

And more good news quotes -

Tracy replied to Riviera's 'good news' post on the Family & Friends forum and said

Those days don't just fall into our laps, they are worked for!

And she's right, the good days are WORKED for. And they're worth every bit of effort from both us and our partners.

I got an email from a survivor friend today, and this is some of what he wrote me -

Who out there would cast aspersions at you or me? We're still here. Still alive and breathing after all these years. Damn them to hell who'd say we're not magnificent warriors in our own right. That I can lace my shoes and use toilet paper,that's something. We all should be dead. Indeed,we did die. And came back royally pissed off.

If we look at ourselves, really look hard, then we will see exactly what we have achieved.
Shoelaces and toilet paper are two simple things that we take for granted, have a look and see what YOU have actually achieved.

My quote of the week:

"ON THE ROAD TO ENLIGHTENMENT, NOBODY SHOULD GIVE ANYONE ELSE THE FINGER."

I wrote it myself in reply to Sinking under Bhuddism Anyone? in Spirituality. I probably would have forgotten about, until FTGF said it made a good weekly quote. Now, I think about it everyday. Sorry to toot my own horn, but how often am I going to say somthing profound.
