What Matters Most

-

       Things that have been happening in the world inspired me to write this post today. One thing this pandemic has taught me is to remember what is really important in life, and I've noticed that people are forgetting that. It makes me sad to see people hating each other and tearing down meaningful things that make this country amazing. The world has become a scary place, but I believe that we can work together to make the world better again. We can work together to stop the awful things that are happening and bring peace. I'm grateful that we have The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a beacon of hope for all of us. We can start by showing love to our family, friends, neighbors, community, etc. 

Never in my twenty-three years of living would I think I would be living a real life apocalypse movie, and seeing the world in heartache and pain. It makes me sad that there's more heartache and pain everyday. I strongly believe that things will get better. We need to remember what matters most: like family, life, happy moments, etc. That was a lesson that I needed to learn when I was experiencing the first part of the pandemic; I was mourning the loss of plans that I had for 2020, and I was angry and sad, but as I took it one day at a time, I gained my happiness back again and I filled my time with things that I enjoyed and learned new hobbies. I also keep my mind occupied with school and work, because those two things make me happy as well. I hope people will find it in their hearts to remember the things that really matter.

Being Strong in a Chaotic World

We are often told by the world that we are weak. No matter what challenges you face, remember that you possess the strength to overcome them. You are enough, just as you are. Believe in yourself and the possibilities that await you. You have the power to create a life that you love and to be your own source of strength and joy. It’s okay to be scared and feel negative emotions, it means you are human. The world hasn’t gone soft, but it’s making expressing emotions more vital to physical and mental health. There is nothing weak about being vulnerable. I strongly disagree with the notion that showing emotions and vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Johnny Depp said this amazing quote about vulnerability, “People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Patience

-
I have lived in Arizona for about four months now and it has been a big change, but I know it was for my own good. It was a plan B after getting out of a toxic relationship. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I’m doing my best to be optimistic and patient. I have always been a believer that things happen for a reason and they do. Having patience is the best way to go. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

My 2023

-
My biggest lesson this year has been that life does not always go as planned. My plan for this year was to settle down and get married, but after realizing the toxic nature of the relationship, I left and started a new life in Arizona. As a result of my fear of the unknown, I found it difficult to take this step.  But with the support of close friends and my determination to create a better future for myself, I made the courageous decision to leave it all behind and start over. I discovered new things about myself and how capable I am to be successful in life. I was also inspired creatively and I discovered new hobbies.  I made new friends and made new connections. I can’t wait to see what 2024 will have in store. I will go into this new year with an open mind and heart.
