    Hello everyone,

    I am fairly new here and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Suzanne, I am 36 years old and from the Midwest. I have had a wild ride in life so far from a crazy childhood, to dealing with multiple chronic illnesses. Somewhere along the way, there has been an awakening of spirituality in me and that I have a purpose in life. I am very sensitive and feel my emotions and other people’s emotions deeply.

    I am not the same person as I used to be. I used to party, shop, be on the go all the time. Being sick has changed all of that and now I garden, enjoy the birds, love to be in nature and love Yoga. My problem is that all of my friends (the ones I have left after being sick for so long) are like the “old” me. They just want to shop, go eat and live superficially. I don’t mind doing that at times, but I feel like I don’t fit in anymore. Same situation with family. I try to talk about deep topics with these people, but they look at me like I am crazy. I have finally figured out that I need to find like minded people that get it. So I am reaching out on there to see if anyone else understands what I am dealing with.

    I just want to make some friends that believe in God, are trying to figure out their purpose, and like to help others and make a difference in the world. People that know there is more to life than shopping, and watching TV. Anyway, I know there are some amazing people on this site and hope to meet some of you. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hope you are having a great day. 🙂

    Well done for coming through your experiences up to this point and for realising that to go forward requires a new type of depth.Spirituality can definitely offer you that and you will be strengthened by it.

    From personal experiences i can say that meeting like minded people is a sign that we have so much to share and that longing is because the remainder of society as we see it it far too preoccupied with banality and superficiality to realise that.In that however we are like minded , in that we need to share- or we fall into the trap of regarding everyone else with a certain disdain or that they might feel so even tough we do not.keep contact with your “little friends” but maintain the gap which allows you to breathe as an individual and grow independantly.At some point we often have to realise that even though we have family friends etc, fundamentally we are alone with our Maker until such time as we shed our mundane existence for a purely spiritual one.In that I can definitely relate to your current position.

    Only the giving of one’s self can ease the passing so to speak and we are called to do so.I think if you do so you will find that the like minded people you seek will gravitate towards you naturally and you may find unexpected depth in some of your current associates surprisingly.

    I wish you lots of happiness in this life and the next, maybe we shall meet there too!

    Hi Bruno,

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your insight. I think you are right, I should just go forward with my life and keep sharing my story, love and the right people will come into my life. I think I have been trying too hard to bring these people into my life. I need to loosen the grip and Let Go of that some. It is just a lonely place to be. I am sure the people that knew me before my awakening think I am nuts. They just don’t understand how I am now. I guess I can relate. Before I was awakened I too was living like that. I did not know this side of life existed. I am so grateful that these changes have occurred in me. I simply did not know before that we had a purpose, that a connection with God was possible and such a gift. Thanks again Bruno. You have been a big help. How are you doing? Hope you are having a great day.
