Be Open

-

   This post will be talking more about being a good listening ear for someone in need. 

We live in a time where people don't feel like they can come forward with things out of fear of being judged by family members and peers.  I believe that's why people feel like holding it inside when it comes to things like being bullied. We need to be more understanding when people are dealing with things, and not assume things. 

 People these days appear to think those with mental health challenges are just doing it for attention, when that isn't the case at all. Why would someone fake struggles like that? That doesn't make any sense to me. 

 I know we don't always understand a person, and there's nothing wrong with that; being open is the best thing we can do to help anyone going through rough patches in life. It doesn't do any good to be judgemental and condescending; being condescending has never helped anyone. 

All of us need to show more compassion to everyone. We have our moments, but that's part of being human, and we could all do better in some facets of our lives. 

Let's all do our best to not condemn or be condescending. Give people the opportunity to be open and be a good listening ear for someone in need. You never know who may need it.

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.
