I literally wrote this a week in advance but I had to write down what I was thinking so I wouldn’t forget….
I just read the only other blog I read consistently, Indy Blue’s, and I cried.
One thing I love about myself is the emotion I feel when I really appreciate and acknowledge the beauty of others and the amazing impact they bring to earth. Even if they don’t necessarily see it.
Indy may never see the DM I sent her or know how much her blog is inspiring but the way I cry because of how beautiful something created is something I will never be afraid to show.
Feelings… ugh
I was reading it though (which I recommend you all do right now) and it made me realize that we were probably put on this earth not to have a goal of being happy but to create it through what we have. There is no wasting time on overthinking life. You just have to keep living. My sister said once that we were put on this earth to ‘hang out’. and she is right.
It’s simple.
Happiness should not be the ultimate goal.
If ‘being happy’ is the goal, then what does that say about our other feelings.
We should never be disregarded or made to feel below others if we are not happy.
If I say it in every blog “feelings make us human”, I hope one day it is actually heard.
I want to have the strength to define my emotions and find that comfort for myself.
Let go of the expectations of everyone else for a moment, and dig deep into the weight I feel and connect with my inner self. Become aware of what I am feeling in these moments.
It may seem crazy, but people who talk about connecting with themselves or finding inner peace are not always heard. But they are seriously speaking depth when they talk about the connection with yourself and that balance that will bring acceptance and joy.
How do we understand others and not ourselves?
Leave behind the expectation and dependency on others and really dive into the unknown waters for this one.
I want everyone to be heard.
feelings, insecurities, goals, ambitions
I wish I could hear it all.
Maybe we just need to be able to hear ourselves first.
Build that foundation.
Of course, I want everyone to be ‘happy’.
But it takes time to understand what that means.
Maybe happy should be joy or laughter or smiles or love or small moments that make you forget about struggling for a moment. A gasp for air.
I’ve struggled with the expectation I have for others.
What weight I bring with problems I face.
my struggles = not worth it
but that statement is far from true.
Who are we showing up to be if we don’t bring the whole package.
I’d like to think that ranting and asking for advice shows more trust in a relationship than not.
I want to be able to connect with myself more. Continue my adventure into my own brain and find what makes me feel joy. What does life right now have to offer that I can take into my own hands and make the best of it.
Think about it sometime.
Even if you are not ready to fully open the door, maybe give it a thought or two and see where it takes you.
We only have so much time on this earth. Maybe hanging out is what will help us find where we are needed and where we can impact others.
We are all beautiful. And I mean that sincerely.
The whole package…
don’t leave anything behind
You are you are you
nobody should tell you otherwise.
And if they try, they are not ready for your beauty
STAY KIND:)
with love
