Something for strangers to find
I want to feel invincible. I crave a rising tide, a feeling on the plus side, pushing darkness and lacking back. Whatever I can do to keep this snowball rolling, I will. I've run myself into tight corners in the past, too greedy, things that didn't last - this time I want staying power. I want to feel a foundation beneath my feet where before there was only shifting sand. Call it optimism.

Ahh. The seductive illusion of feeling invincible. I know it well. I lived a good three years of my life feeling invincible. Yes it was powerfully seductive but I don't think it made me a very good person...it just made me numb.
By nature, humans are fragile and imperfect. But we are still cabable of being emotionally strong. In my early 30's I thought strength was defined as making my- self invicible. This illusion just made me numb to myself and the needs of others. Strength has come from being able to surivie emotions, stand up to my demons and walk through my fear. You are stronger than you think.
