Seeing is Believing

So we've all been told. Its not a myth, and not necessarily scientifically, but certainly it is a proven fact. Seeing is believing. Someone lost trust in you? Someone doesn't think you can accomplish something? Someone make you out to be an idiot? Prove them wrong by minding yourself, hold steady, and show them in every way you can that they are wrong. Not as easy as it sounds I know. In fact, I'm trying to do this very thing every day! Its been about a month without any drugs or alcohol and my heart is beating the speed its supposed to be beating, my mind is free from "substance clutter", my conscience seems to be recovering just fine from months and years of continual abuse, and my body is coming back to life. I did not think it would be possible for me to get back to this state but here I am, sober as a judge, writing meaningless blogs to an unknown community across the country. Either way, I didn't believe it until it actually happened. Which confirms my thesis exactly. Time, patience, confidence, pride, self-forgiveness, educational indulgence, unfathomable subject matter, and last but not least, a proclamation of your own disputes against yourself to the ones you have wronged. Seeing is believing... believe me.
