Writing

Writing is about sharing your experiences with people around the world. The purpose of this can be many reasons. However, for me, communication allows us to continue to survive as a human race here on earth.

Though it's easy right now to worry about the extreme differences between Liberals and Conservatives of various kinds worldwide, basically it's always been this way as long as I can remember. Some people are paranoid both extreme liberals and extreme conservatives and often they are dealing with PTSD from Childhood or war experiences or divorce or deaths of those near them or people dying near them. Mostly the extreme states of extreme liberals and extreme conservatives both have the same causes and the same traumas whether you can see this in their lives or whether they keep these things secret from you.

So, when we write we get to know ourselves and the people around us better by processing all the traumas we all experience ongoing. Hopefully, there is enough kindness and helpfulness from people around us as well as from ourselves for us to survive all this trauma in ourselves and others along the way.

Not since I was experiencing a concussion and seizures caused by the concussion when I was a child which ended when I was 15 did I experience anything like this kind of life altering experience on this level until I had a burst appendix in 2015. Then I had to deal with things I never thought I would ever again.

Because medical incidents can be traumatic as well as other people dying in your live or breakups and divorces and things like this as well. And when you are in these transitions almost anything can or will happen to you in the course of all this.

So, the year of 2015 when I had a burst appendix, it wasn't the burst appendix or the operation that traumatized me the most, it was the thing they put into my lungs for the operation where I couldn't sleep for a month because I was coughing 24 hours a day and then no one told me that the coughing could result in a serious naval hernia that I'm still dealing with all these years later. So, the real problem of this year was sleep deprivation for a month or two after the operation from the burst appendix. So, I survived the operation only to have more serious issues after that of sleep deprivation for another month or two and then this hernia that I'm still dealing with today.

So, I really understand how medical emergencies even if they don't kill you, at the very least dramatically change our lives and might take one or more years to recover from.

So, when people talk about the changes they are going through it is important to listen to them because you might have never experienced anything as awful as they are presently going through. And some people just aren't as adaptable as I have found myself to be.

For example, many people couldn't have survived 3 marriages like I have and while having 3 biological  children and taking care of all of them in addition to 2 step kids and one adopted daughter as well. 

What I'm saying here is we all go through amazing changes and often survive these things so in some ways we need to cut each other enough slack so we all can actually find ways to survive all the traumas (medical and others) that we have to endure to survive here on earth.

Luckily for myself and my children and friends my last marriage in 1995 is still alive and well and we are both alive and I'm 73 and my wife is around 65 I believe and all is well. 

So, it's really important to be grateful for what is actually working in your lives right now and ongoing
