Two Cents




Yesterday I was in a bit of funk. For no reason at all I spent the day feeling sad. Well if I'm being honest- it's because I'm filled to the brim with self doubt. Except I'm trying to change that, but it's really hard when everyone wants to give their two cents about what you should do with YOUR life.

Self doubt is part of the reason I started this blog. I wanted to prove to myself that if I put my time and energy into something-it will flourish. I mean why not believe that? It's gotten me this far. I put all of my time and energy into being a good student and now all of my college tuition is covered.

I do believe that hard work pays off, I just need to prove it to myself more.

Back to self doubt, if I had a dime for every time someone told me "You're not going to get a job"- I wouldn't need a job!

 When does saying "You're not going to get a job" do any good to anyone? I'm sorry are you a psychic? Can you perfectly see what my life will be like in 10 years? If so, tell me how it looks. If not, keep your mouth shut because you're fueling me with more self doubt.

Saying "You're not going to get a job" is equivalent to just saying "You can't" and we all know damn well that we CAN do anything. We really CAN. There is no limit to what humans can accomplish.

I would much rather work towards a life that will bring me happiness and fulfillment, than follow the cookie cutter path of my peers because they just want to get rich quick. That's just my two cents.

Breaking Spring

After Matt Hart  seems like a good way to say I spent all last week feeling helpless and talking about it in terms of not being I was starting to lose hope that the sun had abandoned us It's easy to focus on the cold when you're surrounded by snow the buds are blooming and like the leaves on the trees I shed my layers I wander and am enchanted by vivid colors Ruby Red, Blushing Pink, and Vivacious Yellow My heart is full the warm sun illuminates my skin and I feel human again I'm alive                I'm alive                                and I breathe The bees are creating new life right before my eyes they're humming a sweet serendipitous song I bask in the warmth of the present moment The bees, the birds, the trees speak to me Blissful and freeing Who has time for fatigue, has time for peace

Solo Sunday

I feel like in today’s society we’ve been conditioned to believe that being alone is a bad thing. That those who are alone must be lonely, and for that reason people pity "loners." There is strength in solitude. To be alone is to not be lonely because you always have yourself. In solitude one can discover their truest selves free from all outside influences and noise. Our truest selves just want to be loved, and it can often be easier to find outside sources that give us the impression of love, but to fall in love with yourself is the most rewarding love of all. If you love yourself you don't need external factors to make you feel complete because you're already full. At the end of the day, the only person who will ALWAYS have your back is yourself.

Sunday Morning

September 23, 2018 I let our plants die Not intentionally It’s just hard to take care of something else When you can hardly keep it together yourself There’s always a metaphor to be seen in these kinds of things Right? The beauty of death and the joy of life I watched As their soil dried up and their leaves coiled shut I had determined their fate You cannot inspire the dead to live You cannot care if there’s nothing left to give
