Your Unhappiness

Your Unhappiness

Is not my burden to carry
Yet carry it I have
Through the long winter of your life
A product of your past
Frozen in time
And carefully nurtured to control
Everything around you

It has become my burden
It has compromised my ability
To see the light
Dimmed my days
Clouded my mind
And unleashed vibrations into the world
That were never necessary

The past was not your past
The unhappiness was not your unhappiness
Yet you have lived it
Nurtured it
And allowed it to shape you
To lead you down the wrong paths
To do the wrong things

And yet always beside you
Was someone happy just to be with you
Except eventually not happy
Because those of your past weren’t
So you weren’t

What a sad way to live a life
To poison your world
To destroy joy
And embrace greyness
And mundanity

Except for one thing
When you do all the things
You say you don’t like to do
You laugh more
So are you unhappy?
Or do you just believe you’re unhappy
And keep that belief close to you
As armour against a world you don't trust?

That’s what comes from
Believing the story of your past
And being the emotions of others
And never being your true self

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
