Hey! So, this is my first blog. I have been through a lot and you will hear my story as I start to build, but I wanted my first post to be from my heart and maybe even helpful to some. If you enjoy it please let me know!
Life is crazy. It sure is true, you live and learn. Mistakes
you make along the way…twist you, turn you, make you, break you. Lessons
learned & bridges burned. Things are thrown into our lives out of our
control. Loss of job, becoming ill, losing a loved one, losing a home… dealing
with all of that at once. When you are at the edge, just
begging for a glimmer of mercy. When there is no money to pay for food for your
family, never mind rent or power… or heat. When you have HAD IT! When you are
as low as you can go. When you feel like giving up and throwing in the towel.
When there is nowhere to turn, no one to talk to and no place to hide. KNOW there
is always HOPE and there is always FAITH. Both things you cannot see and cannot always feel.
No one can make you hear or understand until you are ready.
Sometimes our stubbornness “Fuck it all” attitude comes into play and takes
over for a while. I don’t blame you a bit. When you try and try and try and
nothing works? Or you get your hopes up cause you try and try and finally
SOMETHING works, but it only lasts a little while? Or you think oh my gosh, my
dreams are coming true and all my hard work has finally paid off… and then
nothing? I’ve had the “Fuck it all” attitude too many times to count. In fact
the try and fail was so often I couldn’t even take a sip of juice without
spilling the whole glass on my white shirt, or blow my nose without the entire
tissue ripping in half and getting snot everywhere. Sometimes, you just have to say “What the
hell!” Get mad, punch a pillow, scream at the top of your lungs. It seems like nothing ever goes right and nothing will ever work out, but realize it won’t be your life forever. You hit a rough patch and a change is coming…things will get better in time.
I know Life gets impossible. People
and circumstances will try to tear you down. Unfortunately I’ve learned that’s
the shitty part of life, probably the only roller coaster that’s not a blast to
ride. The ups and downs will make you sick. Take the Pepto-Bismol of life: Optimism.
The more positive you stay, the harder it is for those negative feelings to
arise!
*Here is some Music Therapy that helped get me through some
rough patches*
*Rap & Hip-Hop: Put on Eminem’s “lose yourself” and get some
inspiration to pick yourself up and take the world by storm!
*Duet Melody: Listen to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston belt
out “There can be Miracles” Because the CAN be miracles... when you believe
*Gospel: This is a MUST listen! Kirk Franklin’s “I Smile”will make you feel understood and might even put a much needed smile on that face.
*How about some Soft Rock? Third Eye Blind’s “Jupiter” will
let you know there are others that know how you feel- Step back from that ledge my friend
No Matter what you are going through... it will get better by day. Never lose infinite hope.
