Ok...since most of you have had experience with this I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I went through an abusive situation growing up. I am now having a hard time taking care of myself as an adult-transitioning on my own...I am 23 years old. I have traveled back and forth all over the country for the past 3 years. I went to college for one year but then dropped out because I wanted to be a writer and find myself at the same time. My parents were extremely abusive from ages 9-approx.

Evanescence - Bring me to Life

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)

Message in a Bottle: a program where baby-steps lead towards gradual change

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". (See: Justice) Is this retribution or restitution? In my mind, as one who was taken away from one, then given to another, this biblical phrase from Exodus embodies the essence of Adoption. I believe each action has a reaction, and no where is that seen more than the generational fall-out of free-love.
