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.

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...

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...
