It has been a bit of a minute since my last post. I am not quite sure what has compelled me to write to my fellow humans tonight, but here I am at 2ish am!
It hasn't escaped me that I carry a burden or many. Many of my days are just fine and somewhat productive. However, other days are complete torture to the brain and all of the emotions that flood in on those "not-so-good", days. I realize we all have some sort of dilemma in our daily lives, so I do not consider myself exempt from that.
I would like others to know that sometimes we are the only person we can count on. The only one that knows what we need. It isn't necessarily because there is always a lack of concern from our loved ones.
I feel that we have to help ourselves more than it sometimes feels comfortable.
We shouldn't get mad or resent anyone or feel hurt by their lack of understanding. We all go about our daily lives in hopes of being happy and having a sense of pride about how we spend the same 24 hours everyone has. Even when we struggle to find our purpose, we must consider we can be our own best friends or our own worst enemy.
We create it all!
Not our parents, siblings, family, or friends. We are all human, and we all have faults and failures. But the most mature thing we can do is accept our own responsibilities, don't blame others for our shortcomings.
I share my stigmas, fears, and dilemmas with others to encourage others to find a better place to live in their minds as well. The place in my brain that I was occupying often, was literally killing me softly!
It reminds me that there are others out there that have these struggles within their own minds. I am hoping to reach that one person (hopefully many more), that may need to hear that they are not a failure and that they are essential to other humans! Even if you get to a place that feels lonely and no one cares... just know many people smile because of YOU!
Sometimes we need to hear this. It doesn't always resonate with us the first or even the second time. It helps to learn by repetition. Practice makes perfect, or at least practice makes us better. Practice peace. practice self-praise. And my all-time favorite:
Practice The Pause.
