Two Sides of The Coin

-

It's a New Year!!! Omg it's 2023 and I must say 2022 was a TOUGH chapter, but I really learned a lot. Now the real work continues (because truthfully it never stops), I have so many things that I am wanting to manifest this year and I am going to take y'all on the journey with me. 

I must say that I am really excited about this next chapter of my life, I have so many great things happening for me this year that I am READY for the world to see. I feel that for so long I have been looking at the world from one side of the coin instead of looking at the fact that the coin has two sides. 

You know most people only see the negative in the world and I am not going to lie I was one of those people. I mean I saw all this darkness around me, thought there was no good, fell into my depression often, and I also allowed everything negative to make me give up on everything that I wanted and was working towards. I literally fell short on things that I should not have because I allowed only seeing the negative to bring me to a place where I handicapped myself. 

BUT..... after my birthday and finally having some uncomfortable conversations (for me, not for the other people) I started to realize that everything is not as dark as it seems. Like I started to listen to my inner voice, watch the universe, and really realize that it was time to move forward and make plans towards overcoming the things I tend to hold on to.

For example, I literally never thought about betting on myself and being able to step out on faith when it comes to the things that I want out of life. I have had people around me that believed in me, but it has to be me to believe in me and with always looking at the glass half empty I kept staying in the same spot. It's like I would apply for jobs, but I did not have the faith that I would get any response and guess what they would not. 

So now, I have changed my perspective and so much has changed in a matter of a few months... So now I want to be able to use my journey as a platform to show how a change of perspective can change your life from survival mode to living while surviving. Because there is more to life than just the dark side or survival side of the coin. 

Let's think of the positive, see the light, or as an important person in my life tells "start thinking 5 steps forward and 5 steps back".... Thinking positively will have a great impact on what goes on around you because it's the energy that you put into the universe. We all have to remember that what you put into the world is what you will get back. 

So this year, it's time to focus on the lighter side of the coin... Positivity all year long because we are now #LivingWhileSurvivingLife

Rethinking Old Depressing Thoughts (Part 1)

-
So many things have been going through my mind, like different observations about things I notice that I honestly never processed the way I am now. For instance, I have been thinking about states of mind I have been in when I have slipped into deep depressions or when I have gone into my distancing myself mode. Like have you ever sat back and really looked into why you were thinking the negative or always blaming yourself for things that truthfully probably was not really your fault or was just overthinking the situation and pushed yourself off the edge? Well, I think that I have because today in my mind I keep replaying the thoughts of being not worthy of love. Yes I said I have been thinking about the thoughts I have had about not being worthy of love. What's wild to me about the thought process I am having now is that I am seeing that I put myself in the rabbit hole of depression behind that. Because if I am honest no one told me I was not worth of love, I told myself that becau...

HIM

 Today, this post will be a lot more personal because I have something that I want to get out and honestly talk about. I feel that in life when we are going through our challenges with our mental health we are not very open about what's really going on because we never want people to judge or more on the scary side have someone call to have you Baker Acted or committed for those that do not know what that is honestly. So today, I am going to take you on a journey of what I call my "Intrusive Thoughts" while also talking about someone that I honestly am grateful for everyday outside of my daughter. So lets get real transparent... So for as long as I can remember I have had my "Intrusive Thoughts" that I am really not a fan of because they are some thoughts are in my "Dark Place" but they come anytime of day. I can be driving my car and I will think "Drive into oncoming traffic", "Drive off the side of this freeway", "If that sem...

The Toy on The Shelf

-
For many years I have always felt not good enough and would allow that mindset to really get me down. I mean I always felt like "the toy on the shelf" and that people only took me off when they wanted something from me, for me to do something for them, and/or wanted to have sex with me. I know this mindset sounds really crazy, but I really feel that people look at me like that.  Lately, I have been feeling this way especially after a had a heart to heart with a friend of mine and I realized that I have been "the toy on the shelf" for many people in my life past and a few present day. I do not know why that is where I exist with some people. I guess it's because I allow it, yes I can own the fact that I literally allowed a lot of this behavior, now I do not know why I allowed it.  For some reason, people like to say they have all these feelings for me, but only show those feelings when it is convenient for them and not because they want to show that they really a...
