Welcome to Life Matters!
Reflections on the things that matter in life... and those that don't.
Who am I, and what is my purpose in life?
As the years pass by, we increasingly ask ourselves this question. Unfortunately, the answer doesn’t always come easily.
Our lives are composed of both positive and negative experiences that continually shape the person we are. Along with periods of happiness, we also endure problems: abuse, neglect, illness, accidents, financial setbacks, loss, and grief. These challenges impact who we are at the various stages of our lives.
We all have unique stories of suffering, joy, and a mix of in-between experiences.
I learned that self-discovery and forgiveness are the keys to understanding who I am and what I truly need to live a meaningful life.
I write anonymously because the narratives are (sometimes) personal and intimate.
Free subscribers receive posts on Tuesday OR Thursday. They cover my personal experiences with codependency, addiction, divorce, starting over, and growing older.
Paid subscribers receive the free content in addition to the Archives. They can show their appreciation & support through a paid subscription or an occasional tip.
Nobody lives a perfect life.
Knowing who we truly are and why leads to acceptance of our individual stories without shame or guilt. It engenders forgiveness and growth.
I invite you to join us. Sharing our stories is therapeutic. We can learn from each other and find the courage to make changes wherever necessary.
Ms. Writer- I appreciate this thoughtful reflection on personal identity and meaning in the greater context of humanity. I hope the week has been kind to you? :)
Thank you so much for sharing your story and lessons with us!
