So, over the last week I’ve been feeling strange, I’ve been trying to put my mind at easy.
I see social media influencers battling, I see my friends battling, I see my sisters and mother battling, it’s quite funny how we are always strong till the world tells you, you cant do what use to help you escape and now you are stuck in the four walls, with the thoughts that would create more harm than good.
The mood we tend to get into are ones filled with annoyance and frustration, a lot of us have lost jobs, families, and livelihoods, yet we, in the face of adiversity are able to find silver linings.
What I would like to do with today’s post is say, it doesn’t matter the size of your plate, some people do have it worse than you but that does not mean your problems are not important, Our lives are filled with strange and wonderful challenges.
As most of you “ the 3 who actually read my rambles” I am not a positive person, reality has beat that out of me, in saying that I do try in the sadness, the silver lining, being part of a lot in my short 28 Years on this rock, there are a few things that stay open on my mental nightstand and words that fly off the pages are:
“You are note guaranteed of tomorrow’s sunrise or sunset”
“You wont make everyone happy!”
“Not everyone is going to like you, and that’s okay”
“It’s okay to not be okay”
“Always try and shower at least 3times a week, it does keep the darkness out for a brief moment”
“Always wear sunscreen”
Now these are a mash-up of things that pop in and out of my mind, I tend to think back to last year when I had the plan to take my life and take the jump so many of my friends have done, going to more funerals than weddings starts to create a kind of numbness to it, 22 man unit and 4 left says a lot.
But remember, if you are low, be low, if you are on a high be on a high if you are done with the world be done but don’t allow the darkness to grab you,” too hard”, but when the hunting feeling starts to come flooding back maybe for a second let those tears loose on the world, and let the darkness wash down your cheeks.
Oh and always wear sunscreen, stay amazing.
