The victim-counselor unwritten contract

To the ones dear to me who are in past, present or future pain,

So you are a victim. Life is hard for you. Things are bringing you down. You wake up every morning thinking how this day is the worst day in the life, even before it has even started. You feel a growing pain that doesnt go away. You feel lost and everywhere you look there is a feeling of darkness, emptiness and fear.

I know, I have been there.

Don't be afraid. You can always come to me.

I will always try to do my best to help you out. And while I cannot take the pain myself I have walk the same road, and can show you the way. I can help you find the ressources to help yourself:

If you are hungry I will teach you to fish.

If you are lost, I will teach you how to find your way.

If you are in the dark, I will teach you how to find light.

If you don't want to learn, I cannot teach you. But I am willing to help you find the great ressource of all, the one you doubt this very instant: you own strenth.

If you are willing to listening, or if you need to talk. I'll be here. Just call...

26 years

Last week was my birthday and it gave me lots to think about. Think about how things have changed since I was young. And I'm not talking about big changes, but the little subtle one that you get accustom to.

Things like Computers, the Internet, cell phones, mp3 players, etc...

Thus it is my habits that have changed the most over the years..

For one, I don't watch television anymore. I used to watch a lot of it but I don't feel the need anymore. And I don't think modern day kids watch television as much as they play video games.

I also feel like things are moving faster than I can keep up. But I have a feeling than it is more a because I have a better understanding of the world I live in, and have a better idea of the level of complexity.

Younger, I knew.
Now I know I don't.

Things are changing, as they always have. The question is: it is for better or for worse?
