inspiration
"Man's Search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life and not a 'secondary rationalization' of instinctual drives. This meaning is unique and specific in that it must and can be fulfilled by him alone; only then does it achieve a significance which will satisfy his own will to meaning... " -Victor Frankl, Psychiatrist and writer, born in Vienna, Austria. His many books include Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy (1963), and a revised and enlarged translation of From Death-Camp to Existentialism: A Psychiatrist's Path to a New Therapy published in German in 1946.
This quote goes a long way toward explaining all I'm going through these days. It seems it is taking a bit more effort than usual to be happy. Deep in my heart these reasons are clear, but bringing them to the surface, despite what many may believe, is a difficult task. Some things I've been carrying for too long, denying the source of the pain I was allowing in my life. Other things I've known clearly, but applying them to my daily life is what has been the struggle.
So I begin a new chapter. I'm hopeful and yes, relieved. I'm excited to move forward and anxious about what changes may occur. I'm sure they will be positive but I may have to deal with some negative along the way.
I realize my writings are obscure. They have to do with relationships. Not the obvious spousal relationships you first think of; but the toxic relationships I've dealt with and allowed myself to deal with. I will not bother going into detail for I know in my heart what harm has been done. Today, I look forward. It's onward toward learning more about myself, caring more about myself, and surrounding myself with the love and inspiration that I long for and deserve. I don't know what to expect from documenting this journey but my only plan is to fill these pages with the happines joy and love that is in my life. I'm a wife, a mother, and to those who will appreciate it, a friend. These things are important to me.
So with that I will make the brash statement that... I'm on my way.
