"Being Me"
Nobody can be you like you can. You're unique, you're beautiful, you are an absolute work of art and it's about time the world embraces it! Being unapologetically yourself looks so good on you! 💞

"Work In Progress"
The road to making a name for ourselves, getting ourselves out there and finding success can be so tough. It's a lot, it sometimes feels like too much, but that's okay. We're all a work in progress 💛

"Look At The Moon"
There's something so genuine and warm in those finding comfort and joy by looking up at the moon. We get so wrapped up in our own world, we forget the size and beauty of our shared one. So, look up 💙

We're influenced in life by the examples left before us. Those who are good to us, those who are bad to us. Those who go out of their way to help, and those who can help but choose not to.

In turn, we're influenced by ourselves in the way we handle those situations, in all forms. How we handle help, either with gratitude or entitlement. How we handle being forgotten, or disregarded, either with using how we feel to motivate ourselves to treat others better than they treated us or with holding grudges and gaining attitude.

Whatever we choose to become, we bleed on those we encounter. We have the ability to spread our past into the future, based on the way we've processed it. We can either choose to be somebody who's grown from our past, who's learned, who's evolved and has bloomed through the positives taken from both good and bad. On the other hand, we can choose to be somebody who's bitter, who feeds off victimization and uses that towards making ourselves feel powerful in order to "Be our own hero" for our former selves and plant those sour grapes in the soils of those we meet tomorrow.

I refuse to ever let those who've done me wrong live on through me. They've not earned that, they're not worthy of that and they're not that powerful. I am an example of my history. My kindness was gifted and I was blessed enough to know which gifts to accept to keep, and which gifts were meant to learn from and then leave behind. I wish I was better at it, as I still struggle sometimes, but I try and that's all we can do. Strive to be a better us.

I hope all who this reaches has either done the same, or understands the importance of starting to. You deserve better than what's been done to you. Be the YOU that you needed then, now.
Love and blessings 💕

Life will give you so many reasons to be miserable, to give in is only to contribute to that side of life. It may not be easy, but each day we're given is another chance at seeing the good we have or can have 💙

3 Stages of Obsession

1. Absorbed Stage:
Due to the consuming nature of infatuation, it can be hard to spot red flags of an obsessive relationship during courtship. However, even during the throes of infatuation, some individuals are extreme in their initial attachment — wanting to know everything about you, showering you with gifts, talking about marriage and commitment within the first few days of meeting, or referring to you as his or her “soulmate.” Looking back, many survivors of obsessive relationships can see that, early on, a partner was putting them in the role they were supposed to play.

2. Agitated Stage:
As the relationship progresses, the obsessive partner increasingly attempts to control his or her partner. They text, call, or email numerous times a day. They are jealous of anyone or anything that takes time away from your relationship and attempt to sabotage your participation in enjoyed activities and isolate you from friends and family. They become increasingly anxious about losing you and so they begin to doubt or mistrust what you say even though there is no reason to do so.

3. Aggressive Stage:
This stage typically starts when either previously “successful” attempts at controlling you have failed; or you end the relationship. At this point, the perpetrator ups the ante. They may threaten su***de if you don’t acquiesce to their demands. They may disrupt your life by calling your home, boss, or friends. They may suddenly show up uninvited. They may alternate between pleas to reunite and vows of vengeance. For some desperate or disturbed individuals, the behavior can escalate to stalking, threats, or physical violence.

For what it’s worth, I’m proud of you. You’ve made it through this month, while possibly 31 days ago you didn’t think you’d make it another day. We’ve survived every bad day we’ve ever had, keep the streak and dedicate each day forward towards your health and happiness 💙

Fighting each other only causes more damage. The way to better days is by healing together or admitting when it’s not working out 💙

Worth It. Tell yourself those two words when you’re crying after you’ve stood up for yourself. Tell yourself those two words when you’ve let go of the toxic heaviness that’s been weighing you down. Tell yourself those two words when you’ve found the peace you’ve so tirelessly searched for 💙

You’re going to spend a lot more emotional energy trying to run from your demons than you will fighting them. Yes, it’s hard and it can hurt but if you keep running you’ll constantly be on edge and you will never feel at rest 💙

We fight our demons on the battlefield of our mind, as well as our heart. We endure pain and we grow tired. On days you feel like the war's been too long, and the pain is too much, I hope you stay 💙

Take the time, even if only every so often, to just remind yourself of the good in your life. Whatever it is that helps you make it another day. Whatever, or whoever, makes you smile or takes the pain away. Take the time to ignore the bad and fill your heart with what makes you smile 💙

Always remember that your mental issues aren’t who you are. We deal with things, we struggle with things but these things aren’t who we are. We’re people who are worth overcoming any and all things that bring us discomfort and sorrow. You deserve all the joy you crave 💙

When somebody finds it within themselves to improve, bringing up their past is the worst thing you can do towards their progress. They know what they did, they know how they were, either help them improve and be better since they care enough to try or remove yourself so they can find their peace 💙

The thing that gets overlooked about insecurities is the fact they’re rooted. It’s good to identify and work towards resolving but to better do that it helps to understand why it’s there 💙

It’s such a beautiful feeling when somebody remembers the things you tell them. Especially when there’s been so many times you’ve felt ignored, talked over or simply forgotten. Sometimes it can feel like your presence has been removed from somebody else's memories, for whatever reason. So when somebody brings up something you said, or notices you being quieter than usual, it genuinely means the world 💞

I know it’s easier said than done, but try to not carry it all at once. I understand so well that at 11 at night you’re being overwhelmed with figuring out how to solve problems A, B, C and how many others. We can only do so much with so little time. Try your best to breathe, ground yourself and prioritize what you CAN do in that moment and go from there. I know it’s hard and time can get away from you, but take a deep breath and try to take it easier on yourself 💙

While you’re feeling anxious in a room full of people, thinking they’re looking at you or even talking about you, keep this in mind. You’re so caught up thinking that they're paying attention to you, you often don’t think that they’re feeling the same thing towards you and everyone else. Once you put that into perspective, it may help alleviate some of that default stress you’re put under while in public 💙

People refer to their anxiety and depression as demons, which honestly isn’t that much of a stretch. It’s a threat to our mental and emotional state. To deal with any threat, you must identify it and understand its patterns. Once you know what you’re dealing with you’ll be better equipped, as well as more confident to deal with it 💙

There’s no easy fix for anxiety, depression or whatever else you may be dealing with. The first step to fixing it is believing in yourself that you can, because YOU really can do it 💙

A listening ear with a genuine heart behind it can make a world of difference to those who have a history of not being heard. If you find that, I hope you’re able to open up. If you ARE that, please don’t take advantage of it 💙

An important exercise for mental health is being able to center yourself and identify what’s dragging you down. It’s a sort of cleansing of your emotional RAM. Acknowledge where your emotions are being spread. Who, what and how often. Once you’ve done that, apply logic towards the what and perspective towards the who 💙

Talking is so underrated. It’s easy to be so overwhelmed that you forget that sometimes that simply just getting those thoughts outside of your head can clear it up so much. It doesn’t make it go away but it certainly helps some of the pressure that mental congestion causes 💙
