You Cannot Give Up.

We don't chose how we get hurt in life. But we do get a choice in who hurts us. 

Forgive me for the lack of blogs lately, life has seemed to combust on the hinges and I didn't know what to write as emptiness filled my soul to the deepest parts. Then over the past few days I kept thinking, I need to do something. Therefore I went on a walk, and gathered some thoughts. Here are my raw thoughts. 

I am not strong enough for the life that was given me. ( Now this is not a depression post.) But it's true. I'm not strong enough. In my weak moments when I'm alone, I sob. I hurt, and I sometimes can't move. I simply am not strong enough. 

I know some of you are thinking that this cannot be the case because you see me climbing things, dancing, socializing, going to work, and carrying on with my life. And yes, I do do all those things. I accomplish them because of the people that are in my life that hold me up when I want to give up. I venture to hope I help others when they feel like they can't do it. 

Here's my thought. None of us are strong enough by ourselves to make it through our lives, or the lot we are given. Any amazing story of ANYONE who accomplished ANYTHING always has someone, something, some support to help them. Because even Nelson Mandela wanted to give up, Martin Luther King Jr wanted to, Chris Gardener wanted to, Joan of Arc, and many more, the list goes on and on. There comes a time when everyone wants to give up, it's hard to fight uphill battles, It is. It's not fair, and it sucks. Plain and simple. 


But listen to me: Any of you who are reading this who feel like life is too hard to handle right now. Take a moment to be honest with yourself. Whose your support? Is it a trusted friend? A religious icon? A family member? The nice lady at the grocery store who helps you? Who is it? Find that person and focus on that. With that person, no matter how alone in your pain you feel, there is someone( who may not feel your pain)  but they would love to help you put it down for a moment to do something. I promise you, the pain is not going anywhere, but it's okay to put it down and step away for a moment. You have to keep living your life. 

Life is meant for the living, and holding onto the pasts pain, makes it hard for todays happinesses to reach you. 







**** Author's Note**** 
I write this because this is something I need to work on as well. Everything I ever write are thoughts and feelings I'm trying to understand, and hopeful help, uplift, or give an idea to another person.

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,...
