Re: woman discovered dead after 18 months

I think the thing that brought me the most peace, if you can call it that, about my life, which I see as a bitter disappoinmtnet, was writing a book about it. (I am still working on it, actually...) By going over every remembered detail with precision, I was acutally able to "make love" to my life, even the darker parts where I did not especially shine. It helped that I led an unusal life, in that I was a run away hippe, an exotic dancer and I studied mysticism out in the desert with an enlightened being....but I went into great depth, especially about my emotions...and failed relationships, all of them, not just the romantic ones, starting with my mother.... I even included pictures of me from birth up until age 36 or so...(I can't remember if I put in any of me in my 50s...even tho I am still a babe....)

It was amazing to watch myself grow up....

It has taken me over three years to almost get it right. The painful part is that there is not one person who cares enough to read it...let alone discuss it with me...either my adventures and life lessons...or at least the quality of my writing!(Ahem)

Doing this put me through changes that I can not even begin to describe (including reconnecting with "the one" and getting abandoned again) ... but pain and all, I would highly recommend doing this to anyone...
