Restarting

I used to hate the feeling of forced restarts. They kind of always sucked. Usually it was a broken heart, or massive disappointment.

This time, it was a choice. I chose to restart my life. That's okay. Sometimes things don't work out, and sometimes people let us down. That's okay too. It's their choice just as much as it's yours. Restarting doesn't have to be scary, crazy, or life changing. It can be as simple as every day telling yourself that you are okay, you are worth something, and you deserve love.

Each day is a chance for us to restart and reevaluate our lives. This world has made it so we need to check all these little boxes in order to be a "real adults" (barf) HOW LAME IS THAT. Let me tell you, I'm so done living a life dictated by people who have no interest in me other than money.

If you don't want to go to school, don't. 
If you can't fathom the idea of children, don't have them. 
If you want a love that lasts, work for it. 
If something isn't working, end it. 
If travel is what you want, travel. 
Find people to pay you money for doing what you LOVE to do. 

Whatever you dare to dream, do it. Stop letting excuses like "I'm an adult" get in the way. Because, news flash, once you are 18, you are an "adult" for the rest of your life. Do you really want the rest of your life to be lame, and meaningless, but at least you have a big house? If you do, GREAT! Do it, but stop telling the rest of us that we have to be like that. We don't. We each have our own paths, and our own inner desires. Chase them. Have the courage to boldly go after what your heart wants.

For me, sometimes it fails, utterly, and completely, and  it blows up in my face. Let me tell you, that feeling; it sucks. But it would suck more to live a life not true to what I want and even more so, what I deserve. I laid it all out there, and it all came crashing down around me. So now, I get the exciting chance to restart.

Exciting chance. Let it be exciting.

Restarting takes just as much courage, and it's painful when you have to let go of an old restart,  But without it, how would you  know what you're made of and what you want in this life. Right now I can say that without a doubt, I'm excited for where my restart is taking me.

So here's my advice for anyone who is restarting as well. 


Know you aren't alone. Many of us do this every day, and some of us have the big ones happening right now as well. 

Take it one day at a time. It's okay to allow your mentality to change.

It's okay to be a little angry. Change, disappointment and heartbreak, are never perfectly pleasant but don't allow that anger to stop, or force your restart. Take your life in your hands, and do what sets your soul on fire. 

You should wake up excited every single day. No matter how painful the night was before.

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...
