I will arise and go to my Father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before You (Luke 15:18) My awakening experience, a personal interior journey of the soul from the wilds of sin into Divine Love is a Grace of God and Holy Spirit work in my own heart is only a glimpse of what God wants to reveal to His child personally and if we're not ready He says, "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now (John 16:12)...        You are my soul, God and my heart thirsts, pants, yearns, longs and beats for You and it faints, pines, languishes and aches without You ...                                 I really truly believe that if a man desperately gasps for God, He will manifest Himself to him! ~ Gábi

This is a poem of someone who is tired of living

This is not just a memoir. It is the story of a quiet war. During my New Year resolution to reduce sugar, I discovered that the real enemy was not sweets it was my own cravings. Every day was a battlefield. Every dessert, a temptation. Every "no" I whispered felt like a small victory. This is the story of discipline versus desire... and the fragile strength of self-control... If you ever tried quitting something you love.. then I am sure you can relate ..

This isn't a normal story. It is a story of you and me through poem. It is a story of almost all of us. Some acknowledge it and some don't but we all have been through this atleast once. The poem explains how we are all kind and ready to give up a piece of ourself to others even when we ourselves are lacking it. It is how we put others forward and be and feel left out at the end. CHARACTERS- We- one who is ready to help and serve even when not in state to do so. Others-one who is being helped. Please vote and share this, It is my first poem. And forgive me for all my mistakes I am a beginner and will be better with your help and support.

This is a way for me to vent and share my feelings with other people!! There will be many topics and some will be triggering. I will have trigger warnings in the title of each entry as well as before the writing. Some will be really short and some will be long! It's my first time sharing these with the world so don't judge too harshly! I'm an amateur writer and this is mainly for venting so things may not make sense.

You never really know the silent battles someone is fighting. Everyone moves forward while I stand still, trapped in my own life - not by addiction or mistakes, but by the weight of my own thoughts. For three years, I've been hoping for change, waiting for a moment that never comes. This is my story of feeling lost, pulled in every direction, and desperately trying to hear my own voice over the noise. Maybe you've been here too. Maybe you're here now. And maybe, together, we can find the way out.

A man sits on his couch, opens a laptop, and starts going inward. Between therapy sessions, he uses an AI as a guide to practice Internal Family Systems - a form of parts work where you meet the protective mechanisms your psyche built to survive childhood, and the wounded parts they've been guarding. Each session takes him deeper. Each one changes something on the surface - small shifts at first, then ones he can't ignore. This is the record of that descent: the parts he meets, what they carry, and what happens when someone finally shows up for them. Based on real sessions. Names and details changed.
