i want to volunteer at a domestic violence agency. and i think i'm ready to. i am more stable, my eyes are open, i have the assistance of my own counselor, i have come to realize that i have more personal resources and a better support network than i thought i did even a month ago.
i'm ready to do this. although, i'm only just ready to do it at a minimal commitment, which is what volunteering would require.
i know that i would be able to do some good and put myself to some use that is outside of myself, i know that i would be good at it. i was good at drug counseling, only i don't think that's what i was meant to do (at least not at a methadone clinic). if this is what i was meant to do, i can only imagine how much better i would be at it, and how much more useful i would be to others. and if this is not what i was meant to do, than what better way to find out?
i've kicked it around in my head for a long time now. but the whole time up until this point, i realized all the while that i wasn't ready to tackle it.
i'm ready now.
