Anonymous Journalist
A journal entry written by an unknown man
Ever since I made amends with the people in my past, there has been an overwhelming sensation of peace in my life. No longer am I stuck in the victim mindset. My relationship with my wife has improved immensely, my son admires me with newfound respect, and my parents say I look happier than ever before. For some reason, even with a clear conscience, I still feel this … void … as if my actions are not enough. I’ve meditated and prayed on this matter, quite extensively. Is it a result of fear of the unknown, or is it a common desire for more that all men share? As the days go on, the emptiness diminishes ever so slowly. My gut tells me this path leads to a life of pure fulfillment and tranquility. What must I do to continue becoming a better person? How do I become a better father, husband, and son? Whatever happens, I will fight for a better tomorrow. I will fight for a better future for all the people I love, and for all the people who love me.
