I read this when I was 16, always felt like it changed the course of my life. I always thought a modernized movie adaption could be amazing, if done right. The exposure to Gnosticism really opened my eyes to how diverse and someties dark our most sacred beliefs can be, almost like my discoveries were mirroring the protagonist of the story. By 17 I was trying to read Nietzsche and listening to Marilyn Manson, lol. But it really did spark an awakening. Man, I wish I could feel even half as alive as I did back then...

@KayeSpivey23 күн бұрын
Making money publishing poetry is so hard. You have to market like crazy. A lot of people need to be made familiar with your poems and fall in love with them to even sell a few books. There are ways to do that, including reading at open mic nights, getting published in literary magazines, or creating a popular niche online, but even then sometimes its just the luck of the right eyes seeing your poetry at the right time for it to be "successful". If you like the poetry you wrote then that's what's important. Poetry is not a lucrative art form.

Well, I just wrote something about this topic yesterday. Inspired by a FB ad. What d'ya think -- did I make any of the 14 glaring mistakes? "LEARN TO WRITE POETRY” $5/month (billed annually) Learn to write poetry. Learn to make your heart beat. Recall how to name the sunrise in Portuguese, a language you have never heard or seen. Define the color of spring without using the word 'green' Cruelty. I'm sorry it is one of the lessons. Will you give or receive it? Decide. Cry in the shower. Dig a hole and fill it with joy. Map the city of your heart. Map it on my heart.

🤷♀️Wait please, I don't understand something-- Previous video you said your husband was actually building a crib during your pregnancy. I assume he CHOSE to build a crib, an "extra" endeavor that indicates enthusiasm about the baby. Yet after THAT, NOW your husband wants to be TOTALLY un-involved in his son's life? He's not willing to co-parent (with the divorce)?? I suggest you tell him that since he had time to build a crib, he can NOW carve out time to see a therapist (1st research to find a GOOD, EFFECTIVE therapist) to figure out how to become "ready" to be a dad to his son. If your husband has some belief that he's not ready/cut out to be some idealized/unrealistic version of what a dad "should" be, then a good therapist (AND you his wife?) could help him adjust his expectations (of himself as a "should be" dad) into realistic and do-able self-expectations of being a dad that he COULD live with. Your son needs to know his actual dad, who's flawed but trying his best-- not some perfect/idealized dad (which doesn't exist for any family, anyway). KZbin has many adult content creators who describe feeling incomplete due to having NO relationship with their biological dad: SOME kind of relationship with one's biological dad is almost always better than NO relationsip. I agree with commenters here who advise you to pursue child support from your husband, regardless-- If he decides to permanently leave you, his consequence is that he must step up to his financial responsibility of child support (which might cost him more money than if he'd stay & just be the best dad he's capable of being). Sincere Best Wishes & Prayers🙏🙏for you, your son and your husband.
@KayeSpiveyАй бұрын
Oh I completely agree. We were constantly making plans for our future with our baby and this came out of nowhere to me. I tried talking through and counseling and giving space and yet by then he had already filed for divorce. :( But he wants no contact so I guess that's the way it's going to be.

Oh no! That sounds like such a difficult situation. The one thing that's been good about this awful divorce is that he doesn't want any custody at all so that's been easy enough to sort out for me. I hope your daughter has really good friends nearby to help her since she's so far away!

This is the first introduction to you and I'm glad I landed here. Not sure what the references were to the election, but really appreciated your sharing of what you have garnered from therapy thus far. Such a good choice to have gotten right into therapy. Trust in yourself. Love your baby. Though others may need to hate on your husband for his behavior, you don' t have to. You can, of course, but it's okay to love him as you leave him. Your child shares half his genes. Too bad he's not ready for parenting. You're going to be a wonderful mom! (Ordered your books and look forward to spending time with them and giving as gifts.)

P.S. Kaye, you need to be encouraged that there are many, many new friends out there who have you in prayer and will be praying for you and supporting you every step of the way - - so many friends you never realized you had. Lean on your family, lean on your friends, lean on God. You will get though this and be a better, stronger person for the journey.

God bless you, Kaye. Please be encouraged that all this trauma will eventually work for your advantage and you are being blessed for doing the right thing and enduring what is absolutely outside your control. Take courage, God has this.... He will not let you fall, He does have a plan for your life--- far beyond what you can ever imagine! Get close to God, stay there, pray a lot, and wait for God to do what He does best - - love and take care of His own. You absolutely will be better than OK, please trust God to take care of you as you travel along a painful, unknown path. You are on a journey of magnanimous proportion. Trust, there is a grand life ahead for you and your son. Keep a journal, you will be able to look back and see where your were being carried when you haven't the energy or direction, have no discernment of how, where, or when this situation will be resolved. Unfortunately, you will have to feel the pain for a while. There will be tears, but you will heal and not only heal, but eventually find true happiness. Hold on, keep the faith... God loves you and know there are prayers going up on the behalf of you and your son. Take comfort in knowing there indeed is a merciful, gracious, kind power watching over you.

First let me say I'm so sorry this is happening to you! My heart goes out to you! As a divorced father of two great sons I will never understand any man who abandons his wife and child! I can't think of a more selfish cruel act! He will never know the love and joy children bring into your life. Like others have said, it's better that your baby is young and won't form an attachment to this loser of a man-child. You will get through this no matter how much you're scared and hurting. Lean on family and friends for support. Also whether he likes it or not he's financially responsible for supporting your child so don't let him off the hook in that regard! I'll pray that God watches over you and your baby and uplifts and strengthens you and comforts you during this difficult time! Hugs!
