No seriously guys I think someone kidnapped AAK and is posting posing as her.
Keep handling it.

It was always me. I just had to go through what I had to go through to really be able to own it.
Lessons are learned through experience, not cerebral gymnastics. I have always talked a good game, been into self help, given great advice. Matters of the heart can challenge and make one question everything, do I know anything?
My life turned upside down and inside out. I had to re-adapt, pull my organs out and put them back in (that is truly what this has felt like). I still recognize a rib in the wrong place now and then.
I don't regret hitting the wall. I like where I'm at now.
Feels good to find your voice again.
The Dark Night of the Soul:
Quote:
In the Christian tradition, one who has developed a strong prayer life and consistent devotion to God suddenly finds traditional prayer extremely difficult and unrewarding for an extended period of time during this "dark night." The individual may feel as though God has suddenly abandoned them or that his or her prayer life has collapsed. In the most pronounced cases, belief is lost in the very existence of God and/or validity of religion, rendering the individual an atheist, even if they continue with the outward expressions of faith.
Rather than resulting in devastation, however, the dark night is perceived by mystics and others to be a blessing in disguise, whereby the individual is stripped (in the dark night of the senses) of the spiritual ecstasy associated with acts of virtue. Although the individual may for a time seem to outwardly decline in their practices of virtue, they in reality become more virtuous, as they are being virtuous less for the spiritual rewards (ecstasies in the cases of the first night) obtained and more out of a true love for God. It is this purgatory, a purgation of the soul, that brings purity and union with God.
Entering this dark night of the soul is commonly referred to in Buddhism as "raising the Great Doubt".
