The Sunshine Through the Rain: Buried Treasure and Angels
by Sometimes you must truly go through the rain to find your buried treasure and true angels in life.
This angel reminds me that I am still young and beautiful (spending too much time alone, away from family and friends who have hurt you can make you feel like the older person who has lost all their friends and family and are alone – I just experienced this life stage at a much younger age. While beneficially it gives me much perspective on life far beyond my years, it also makes it more difficult to find friends who have this depth of understanding. I could go on about this topic, but that would be another article.).
He also reminds me that I have so much to look forward to in life which I often forget. So, everyday I thank God for him, for quotes, for famous people I admire, and for the gifts that have been bestowed upon me and continue to be. These are the things that remind me that true angels do exist in this world and that everything I’ve always believed in my heart is true.
“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”- Anon
While sometimes I wish I had more friends, life experiences and intuition have taught me that truly “quality versus quantity” is the goal for anything in life.
Once again, thank you with all my heart for reading and sharing my story and personal journey and struggle. Sometimes you just need to share your thoughts with someone.
Best wishes and blessings to all.

Lucy is right, you will win friends when people can see that you’ll open up to them. I am aware that sometimes one can get hurt when one opens up to other people, but it’s the price we have to be willing to pay for friendship and love.
I’ve been through the most evil forms of abuse you can imagine, but it’s only when I decided that not opening up and not trusting hurts me and not ‘them’ that I could properly put the past where it belongs, be happy, fall in love, make lasting friendships etc.
I wish you the best in your struggles, I know it must be hard for you.
