They Say

In a life of media ridden information, and instant technology so many people have such a strong say in each of our lives.
This week I was browsing through Facebook and came across the following articles:


  • 10 types of guys you shouldn't date
  • 10 qualities you should be looking for 
  • 7 things tall people have a harder time at 
  • 5 ways to tell they are cheating
  • 14 ways to be able to tell they love you
  • 5 types of people in this world
  • 6 ways to get over him
  • 23 things that make a best friend
  • How to tell when you are ready to date again
  • Ways to see that you love him
  • 30 different celebrities doing..... (who knows what I can't remember) 


But needless to say I was looking and these and wondering, do we really rely on one person somewhere behind a desk to tell us how we feel? Do we often sit and wait for life to happen, then consult google before reacting?

How do we live our lives?

They say the best way to power through things is to not "allow" yourself to get hurt anymore. Is that how we want to live our lives? If we compare an emotional hurt to a physical one for a moment maybe it will shed light on the subject.

There was a time back in high school when I had first gotten into long boarding.( My mom had told me not to because she thought it to be dangerous. )However, being the punk teenager I was, I didn't listen. Like the rookie I was when I changed the bearings, I didn't tighten them all the way, so when I got on my long board and started going down a hill, my long board fell apart underneath me, and I went shoulder first into the asphalt. OUCH. That hurt for a while.. like a long while. But let me tell you, it has not only served as a reminder to tighten the bearings, but also to show others to do the same, and make sure that NO ONE will have their wheels fall off their board.

I look back on that, and man alive, it hurt at the time, but now, you could ask me, "Shay would you take that crash back?"
My answer 100% of the time would be, "No, it made me a better boarder, and a more intelligent person."

Emotional pain and suffering is the same way. The way we see and feel it, the way we get over it is entirely up to US. Each of us have a life to live, and we each get a chance to be in the drivers seat of our lives. Don't give that up. Take the wheel and enjoy every moment of the ride. We will fall, we will have scrapes, bumps, bruises, and sometimes broken bones. Choose to let it soften and wise you up, or allow it to dictate the rest of your life. Either way, it's your choice.

Don't allow someones checklist found via the internet to tell you what you feel, when your ready, and what to do about it all. Be the driver in your car of life. Trust your feelings for even though they may have failed you in the past, they sure can help steer you better now.

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...

Do I Have What it Takes?

! Do I have what it takes? I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that. Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business. This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it" Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it." Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment fo...

In the Daylight

! I'm just a girl sitting here, wondering about the mysteries of the universe. I sat outside on a starry night under the blood wolf super moon waiting to feel the change the air has inside of it. "I'm searching for authentic, true, and loyal people who deeply love me." I whisper to myself as my shutter clicks. I felt the change I was seeking start to take root, I knew it would soon grow, but I was not prepared for what it would bring. I was not prepared to have you standing in the sun. There was no way I planned that there would be no more shadows surrounding who you were, and more so who I was in relation. The change in the air, brought in the truth I needed to visualize what was happening. Since that moment a shift has happened, to me, in clarity. It was like the blinders were ripped off and I was thrust in to the brightness of the noon day sun. I could see everything, there's no shadows, no more questions, no more doubt, only knowl...
