Young Memories #2

Missing smile

This is the second part of my young memories. Be warned this one is going deeper in to my head, as the title suggests there won't be many smile's.
I find myself unsure whether to share personal life memories like this but hopefully it will help me further along the road of progress.

When I was round my mum's finishing the painting I asked her if she could look in her diary to see if there was anything interesting about me as a child in there. She started looking through as I was decorating in the hallway. She had come to a part twenty years ago when I was joining nursery school and came across this.

"Paul has become very serious all of a sudden he always used to smile but now he's always so quiet and keeps bursting into tears all the time"
This had me slightly worried, as a lot of things do. I was thinking as if I have been without a smile for that long.
I knew something must have took place to make me feel so sad early in life. The only thing it could have been Is the break up off my mum and dad, that started to bring back a pretty dark thought, well more a memory of my earliest night mare.

I'm not sure how old I was when I had it but it must have been pretty young.
The whole thing is not with me but I can still remember the nasty parts which have stayed. It was about my dad I remember he was in the back of a police van, he looked really beat up, covered in blood, no shirt.
He was not guilty that I's the only thing I remember thinking. The next part must have been the hardest part to deal with so young.
He was being shot at, in the chest, the rib cage was open and black like tar, I think this was because of the amount he smokes.

I think a vision like this could have been enough to take the smile of my face, But possibly not. I have always had the memory's of this come back every now and then and they are always uneasy to think about.
If I write them down and send it out there hopefully it can't come back to haunt any more. Because after all it was probably only there to prepare me for the worst just incase anything was to happen to him.
Today though I can rest in the peace knowing that if anything ever happens its not the end and two souls with a connection like father and son will forever be together in someway or another in some place or another.
The lesson I am hoping to get from this is , just sit down , no matter how unpleasant it is.
And analyse the reason behind these things and hopefully they will give me the closure to move on.

Thanks for reading.

Ghosts Of The Past

When I'm alone, I'm often visited by the ghosts of my past. Some are happy and make me smile, Others reopen long-healed wounds and they are as sore as when they first bled.

These are a great way to release the feeling you've been holding on to. Just wanted to say that and this is a place to be yourself share whatever you want :-).

@aleishagayle20 Thanks I feel better already. It was either this way or expensive therapy bills. (; I would love to be a psychologist myself one day so I would feel strange having to go to someone else for it. Thanks for the comment, hope you to continue to find use out of opuss. (-:

@Stablish I already love it on here it's my own daily therapy :-) and you have the ability, put that brilliant mind to use and go for it. Look forward to hearing more memories :-) .

@aleishagayle20 Thanks I really appreciate it, my only problem is I want to do so much, I can just never find one thing to stick with.

@Stablish I know what you mean! I'm a total scanner, always wanting to do anything and everything but getting nowhere xD I wanted to be a psychologist once, until people put me off because they said it was too competitive to get into. >.< grr. That was a touching recollection. Will read more when you post them :)

@Bethibella Thank you so much, I'm starting to make progress, at least I know for sure that I won't be happy doing the brain dead jobs I have been doing. Just need to take each day as I can and try to progress a little. Hope you have a nice day, I will try to catch up on your opuss's soon as my feed is getting pretty mad.(-:.

@Stablish yep it's all about progress! And never giving up on your dreams. Tell me about it with the Opuss feed - so much content to devour, so little time!

Great post @Stablish Very touching, open and honest. I look fwd to reading more :)

@redfae Thank you, I don't think you'll find many people as honest in what they write, it takes a while to decide but then I just think, what have I got to lose.

@Stablish @Bethibella Grab every opportunity and give it all a go. Don't let other peoples negativity talk you out of doing your thing. What might be too hard for them might be right for you. Good luck :). Some dead end jobs ate good. I once worked in a shop and when quiet I wrote on till receipts, also met some interesting characters lol

#decide to post

@redfae Thanks I try to take positives when I can, my current job situation is worthy of a good five part post. )-: Loads of memory's attached put it that way

@Stablish enough, of, father :) otherwise great! I like hearing your memories! Even if this one is A dark one (that certainly does seem like dark one to have so young!) I don't remember my parents splitting up really, I was around 4 but it was so gradual and he was away so much anyway it just seemed normal, which I'm grateful for in a way

@redfae I wrote on till receipts too!!

@meganelisabeth thanks for the help(-: I didn't take it that well, I was about the same age. Iv'e got a good memory, unfortunately sometimes. Thanks for reading (-:

@meganelisabeth cool :D feel kindred
