I’m from Venezuela I’m 23 years old and I used to live in Toronto Canada. Back in Canada I had a very negative life involving drugs, gangs, violence, and sex. I spent a lot of time in jail before getting deported back home.
I’ve been home for five months and back in prison I decided that this was going to be a new beginning and that I was going to change my life. I always was a spiritual person and even though I did bad things I wasn’t happy. Now that I’m home I’m finding it very difficult to stop being aggressive because I’m very aggressive to the point of getting physical with people and I’ve always been that way because of my life style.

I would like to know how to put everything negative in the past behind me because I’m trying but I keep falling back. And it doesn’t allow me to find peace inside and that all I really want peace of mind and to be able to forgive myself for being so selfish in the past.

I am 38 years old and it seems like I have been going through most of my life feeling like I am missing something, but I don’t know what. I know I am very insecure and I have no idea why or what has made me this way. I have family and friends and yet I feel alone…what is wrong with me?

What is the secret to find real love? I have been looking for it for the past 35 years and I still do not know what it is and how to find it…thanks…

I have begun this spiritual journey in order to learn how to process pain. My heart was broken quite severely as the result of a relationship that was terminated. The pain that followed was quite intense. This fear of loss translated across the plane of my life (fear of losing parents, fear of being without romance, fear of not being wanted, fear of being alone). I began searching within myself to find a way to be self-fulfilled and not need anything external to fill the depths of my heart; that is where I’ve found trouble in the past.

I have found now that I am able to enjoy the people whose paths I have crossed without attaching anything to them. When our paths split, I feel nothing terrible. I cannot decipher whether I’ve trained myself to turn off emotionally or I am living with higher understanding. Or is it both and I’m on the right path?

I am 33 years old, and have been in therapy for the past 10 years. Every time I get to a point where I can deal with the REAL issues that drive my bad decisions I fall apart. Lose a job, therapist etc. I am not sure that I will ever be able to change this pattern and I am feeling hopeless, as I have tried to work with several therapists at this point with minimal results. I am not happy, and I am not making good decisions, relationships or career choices. Should I just give up and accept the fact that my prior conditioning is stronger than the healthy part of me?
