There was a time I thought my nightmares wouldn’t end, from childhood to about my thirties, I quit listening to those dominant voices in my life, and started putting better people in my life. Now at sixty-four, I think that was the best thing I did in my life. Essentially, I left society to fend for itself, glad I did; no more nightmares.
Nightmares plague me but they do not frighten me; perhaps I’m journeying through parts of myself previous unknown. That’s a nightly occurrence…. it’s all part of growing I suppose…
We don’t need evil to appreciate good. We don’t need darkness to appreciate light. We don’t need hunger to appreciate being full. We can have an abundant life, or not, and still be filled with joy.
I’m not discounting your experiences but I tend to look at everything as a reason and purpose for why things happen in life, that why I can validate my growth, understanding, and gratitude. I write this in love not indifference. 😊
Sometimes nightmares are here to stay… Or so it may seem… When we are going through tough times

I used to get nightmares, but rarely do anymore. I think the good days are finally outweighing the bad ones.

We need the bad days to equal out the good days, right? 😊

I don’t think so. We need the good days so that we can regroup and deal with life, but no one needs the bad days I used to have as a child.

What about the balance? If we all had good days, would we appreciate them as much than if we didn’t?
