I Can Do Hard Things

I can't pretend like I have had tons of extra time to Blog lately. Not saying I didn't make time for it, because I did, I just didn't have anything to say. Sometimes ideas come into my head, and I just know what to write, and other times it's just titles.

The past week or so it's just been a title.
"I can do hard things"

Maybe I've been thinking of this because it's just a positive affirmation for me.
Maybe it's because I need to remind myself,
or who knows
maybe I'm bracing for the future. With school, work, and teaching all starting again there is no doubt that it will be slightly hard.

I think at every new beginning there is something hard. At every end, there's something hard, and on the in-betweens there is something hard. I guess life is just something hard.

Today my lovely mother and I were talking about what it's like to be 17. Do you remember? I know I do.
I thought I was invincible. I thought I knew everything, and most of all I thought that everything would always go my way.
HA! That's a good laugh. See, I don't think Life likes being told what to do. I think life has it's own plan for all of us. It has curveballs, it has rocks, and it has storms. Anything to make us lose hope, dishearten us, and keep us from becoming what we can become.

How easy it is to lose sight of our goals, our dreams, our expectations. How quickly they are the first things to go out the window when things get hard. Apply the following statement: I can do hard things. I CAN do hard things. I WILL do hard things. I will OVERCOME hard things.

Each of us will struggle with something hard. We all have it in our lives. However a problem is only as strong as you make it. Yes, crap happens. To the best of us. Just know you are not alone. Crap happens to all of us.

but " I CAN DO HARD THINGS"

Let's do this life. Bring it on.

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person, However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick, he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Lessons From Environmental Issues: State Shift

I've been taking this Bio class called environmental issues, and to put it lightly, there's not a whole lot that I like about it. However I found something useful this week, maybe something that touched me more than it should have. There are different types of changes in the environment. For example: Resilience : is the ability for the environment to bounce back after something drastic happens. Like a tornado, or a hurricane. Let's put this into people's lives, this is like a break up, or the ending of a friendship. It hurts, it even devastates you but give it time, all things will go back to it's natural state. However long that takes, it will heal. You will heal. Then.. There's a change called a state shift . This is uncommon in the environment, because of it's tragic and lasting effects. A state shift means no matter how hard the environment tries, it will never be how it was before, it's changed and can't be reversed. Now let's ...

6 Things I Learned from Dating the Wrong Person

Sometimes we get it wrong. We simply get it wrong. On occasion it's because we are too stubborn to admit we are wrong, other times its because we just didn't know. But just because we got it wrong doesn't mean we have to stay in pain for the rest of our young lives. It doesn't mean our hearts will be shattered forever. You know that saying, the one everyone says when you break up? It goes a little like this, 'At least you learned something.... right? ' Gosh. Doesn't that phrase piss you off? Yes, it bothers me as well. It takes time, TONS of time before a glimmer can even happen. After dating a man for almost two years, and being alone for the past year, I have decided to try what they all say, and figure out what I learned. Here are the ramblings of a stressed out college girl piecing her life together. Lesson 1: Not all the time is it a 'me' problem. A relationship takes two willing adults to make it function. No matter how hard you try,...
