People who have read my articles at Life as a human or visited this site know about some of my history and why I even started this venture. I’ll be honest, even thought he subject matter is very serious, I tend to be the kind of person to make light of things, and sometimes not seem to take things seriously. Perhaps it’s a defense mechanism…..it helps me deal with things. Funny, I play the worry wort and happy-go-lucky roles fairly well if I do say so myself.

“I don’t need therapy. I’m not going to see a therapist; comedy acts as my therapy. I put my problems out there. I talk about them. I talk about everything before anybody has a chance”. – Kevin Hart

Therapy. Been there, done that. Is it something that I revisit at some time? Sure. But in this day in age with socials and such, I feel like it’s easier to find like minded people and form a community of those who will help each other. This started because at the time, I was going through a separation that in retrospect was a prerequisite of the future.

I was groomed, abused, and taken advantage of. Simple as that. Took a long time to realize it, even though people saw it and told me. I blamed myself for a long time, and I still take some of the blame, but it’s not all my fault. I realize this now. I was manipulated. Now time to continue to deal head on, this time with a new look….a new angle.

So life isn’t always pretty. We all gotta find ways to deal. The important part is to deal. Find thigs to help cope….you can use anything as therapy. Music, comedy, art, whatever. But with that said, you still need to find help in any shape or form….be it a therapist, good friend, spouse, parent. Nothing to it, but to do it.
