As An Adult sees it

Adult child from a family of dysfunction!

As an Adult-child of an alcoholic and an addict full of dysfunction, I am acquiesced in accepting an awakening arduously trying to live a life without the inherited fear of abandonment, arrogance and abusive behaviours! I have been belittled, betrayed, and bullied. I had become a bully and had behaved badly with the belief there was no point in any other way of being! Breaking the cycle of bad breaching all borders, Bonding now with others from broken homes we are breaking barriers and bouncing back from a belief the barriers wouldn’t ever be broken down. Boldly believing in a better beginning than that which was bestowed upon me. Continuously counting my character flaws as I climb out of a self-made catastrophized and chaotic life. I’m deciding indefinitely to dive into the divine light and to leave behind the dishonourable, the degrading, and the despicable in the depths of their own despair. Evermore ebullient I stand! Eager to be effusive in the ways I praise myself for every effort I exert exponentially and enthusiastically. Only expelling excellence making exceptions no longer. Fighting figuratively for freedom from my financial foes I am full of faultless fun. Finally able to forgive and forget family faults. Going for the glory is the gift that’ll keep giving if generosity is always the game plan. Guilt is no longer the guide. Historically help always had a price, hindering honourable honesty. Now inclined to innovate and inspire using my imagination to improve improper and illicit ways of thinking. Implementing a new ingenious personal inventory previously imperil ideals now impetus to jaunty joy. Jaded no more I am jubilant and justified in the kindness I kindle! Knowing the keynote of life is keeping myself safe and learning to love. The lust for lovers leaves as real intimacy can grow inside me. Longing to become the maker of a new legacy creating legendary and memorable moments worth memorizing. Moralizing old mistakes by learning the lessons meant to be learnt. I become mobilized in hopes of making magical moments. No longer having to navigate the nonsense or notoriously nodding in hopes of people-pleasing. Openly obstructing old ways of which I have orbited this earth. No more obscene punchlines or puns piecing the path of others. People who have pessimistic views precede my new powerfully positive points of view. Pleased with the power and potential that has become a permanent part of the quantum quarters of my brain I can now quickly call upon to reassure this redeeming role of righteousness I will revel in. Becoming my own role model and reparenting myself with gentleness and humour revitalized and replenished I stand. My soul will suffer no more I will stand safe and secure in a sanctuary of serenity surrounded by self-efficient superhumans who share scarily similar stories. Stepping out of segregation and solitude. Leaving sadness and sorrow behind turning the tables toward a triumphant and tangible future taking the time to trust. Uniquely unified using a universal power from within as a guide to unwavering vitality. Venom is spewed no more victorious versus validate wavering words very wisely without question. No more aimless wandering. Always knowing the exact nature of the x and y-axis

I am now my own zealous zippy zebra
