It's Like DeJavu
I've Traveled This Road Before
A Note To My Dear Inner Self
There are journeys we take in life that leaves us with pain and lessons either because we lack knowledge or simply out of plain ignorance. We turn blind eyes to red flags thinking we should be ok. But the more red flags we pass, we reach danger zones and we only hurt ourselves.
A scar gained in teenage years tells you that you have passed this journey and that you cannot repeat the same mistake again. In fact, it has prepared you for so many similar journeys that you have encountered and will still encounter. It's like DeJavu.
In working life you gained another scar, this time out of jealousy. You know you did nothing wrong and that you did not deserve the treatment. You fought back to dispel lies weaved against you and you proved everyone wrong.
So my dear inner self, you are now on a new journey and you know you must be smart. And wise. Be bold, be courageous. Watch out for the red flags and steer clear from danger. Keep moving forward and focus your eyes on your purpose as it will determine which exit to take. Seek God in every decision you make and He will show you the right way. 🙏🏻

Dog Number 13
May 15, 2023 Strange things are happening. Good-strange, bad-strange, and strange-strange. For starters, me and all my litter mates are able to stand. Some of us can even wiggle around in a clumsy manner. I say wiggle because it isn’t quite walking but it isn’t quite crawling. We just sort of stand and wiggle and fall and take a few steps and then crawl and then get up again. It is in this manner we are able to move around to some degree and explore our surroundings. Naturally we cannot go far. Which is ok, I suppose, because I am very small and I need my mother for food and my siblings to keep me warm and I feel very loved and comforted by them in some way, so I don’t know why I would need to go very far. Having four legs, I must admit, is very strange. It is not a surprise to me that it is challenging to coordinate them to move in the order they need to move. But I can get around a little bit, my eyes can stay open for much longer periods of time now, and it is easier to understand what is happening. So this is new.

Omgggg, you're so right about those red flags! The moment we see the first one, we should run in the opposite direction!
