A failure is an event. Never a person.

Ordinary

Yes I was abandoned. No, I'm not an orphan. No, I don't live in a third world country. No, I'm not a criminal or a problem child or an emotional wreck. I'm an ordinary person. I was just presented with an obstacle. Everyone has their demons. For some it's alcoholism, obesity, self-esteem, mental disorders, or addiction. I'm no different. My obstacle was abandonment. But I am not defined by it. I am me.

Thoughts

Remembering a bad past will get you nowhere. But overcoming the past. Sharing the past. That is real strength. That will get you anywhere.

[overabandonment]

Remember this Sunday to do what God constantly reminds us to do: forgive and forget. In order to function happily we must first put the past away and focus on our journey.

The mage seemed pensive; a different shade than her usual demeanor. Red eyes gazed at a solitary point, unwavering and unblinking. Yet, they saw nothing ahead. It was rather short-lived.

"Ah--sorry if you've been waiting long. I'm Rem," the brunette introduced herself, a smile slowly resurfacing. "May I help you all?"
