Celebrating Medium and Amazon writer Carol Townend and her power of words.

Enjoying: Somewhere Inside The Chaos — You still exist. By Carol Townend.

And she is right. Our world is in chaos and many humans are losing themselves.

I hate it when my mind gets cluttered; it feels like I have a mind that is as noisy as a busy shopping mall that is overcrowded with people and stays open all day and night seven days a week. Carol Townend

Yes, many of us minds are here and are fed by the chaos feeding our world. Yes, the ones who are aware, know how to get out of the chaos without harming anyone.

It felt like I was born to live a life of heartbreak and pain. Carol Townend

Yes, sometimes we feel this way when challenges keep attacking from every side and seem endless.

Today, even though I have been safe for a while, and most of my children are grown up with new and happy lives, I am traumatized. Carol Townend

Some of us never recovered from the traumatic episodes life sends our way.

Writing helps me keep my brain healthy, whether I am writing on lived experience stories (such as this one), fiction, or poetry which I am known for here! Carol Townend

But we must find ways to heal and Carol has! So should you!

You are going to love this one.

All of us have a special place where all of our happy memories are made. Carol’s memories are made by the river bank. the river is water, water represents life for me.

A symbolic memory of a happy day.Carol Townend

Yep, just walking sometimes and something symbolic triggers a happy memory that made our day.

Where children happily play, Carol Townend
