Old luggage....

I have always been fascinated by old luggage.  The stories that this piece of luggage could tell about where it has been.  South America to China to London to Berlin before the wall came down. How about Auschwitz where Holocaust victims met some of their final days.  The stories and travels and knowledge would be never ending...I find this so true wiht our lives as well.  If the walls of our house could talk....what about the walls of your car?  How about if your brain matter coudl outwardly share everything that is going on in your head.  What if every secret you have ever had or every experience could be discussed could be shared could be told? 

Oh if only the walls could talk from our home growing up.  All the stories that it saw and heard.  The battles, the crys, the outpouring. Silent sobing from under the covers.  It was all there--and we received a "travel sticker" for every adventure we had been through every pain, ever grief, every worry, every experience, every life that touched ours, every life we have touched.  How many stickers would be on your heart? 

This has been on my mind today--all the things that child abuse or incest survivors have been through---the sneaking, the lies, the undercoverness, the masquerades, the acting, And the ability to retire the old luggage of our hearts and minds and say NO MORE.  Close the chapter and call it good.....take your stickers of experience and start to share them.  And maybe your hurt isn't  abuse--maybe drugs, sexuality,

Don't want to share with someone....share on a journal...unleash the secrets of your soul, the secrets of your spirit, start to release and let all the stickers out.  "Pain"---write it down, tell someone, tell them what you have been through, talk to your journal in your words..."Hurt"---scream and yell---get it all out, write it all down---..

Find your avenue and begin  the process--begin releasing your inner stickers for your sake----everywhere you have been makes you who you are --- EMBRACE YOU!!  

Abuse/incest isn't your fault--and you deserve to unleash those inner stickers.....retire the old luggage and lets move on to the new--TOGETHER.

My hearts out to you all tonight.
