It’s Okay To Look Back

Keep going.  Move forward.  Don’t look back.

We are told these things growing up.  It is meant as an encouragement.  We’re told to never give up, to reach for the stars.  Don’t let our pasts hold us back.

But what if we reach the point where the only way to move forward is to work through our pasts?

Beach Vacay (With Pics)

I love coming to the beach.  I’ve come at least once a year for the entirety of my being.  It’s so relaxing to sit in the sun and let the salty breeze envelope you with the taste of the ocean.

Unashamed

How deep is too deep?

I can’t help but wonder as I get lost into thought.  I’m still focusing on mental health this week and having revelation after revelation about myself.

My Typical School Morning

A school day.  I awaken against my will to the kisses of our German Shepherd hours before I had to get up.

Ignoring her wouldn’t help – Lucy would cry and cry for me to get up and let her outside to lie in the first rays of sunshine.

Pick Myself Up

This week I’m focusing on my self worth.  For a long time I’ve struggled with this without realizing.

Breaking Out of My Shell

I’m sick.  I’m tired.  I’m dying.

I’m sick of comparing myself to others.  I’m tired of thinking I’m not good enough.  I’m dying from the anxiety, guilt, and fear that creeps in to consume my life over and over again.

Adulting: Finding Myself

Since I’ve moved on my own, I’ve felt lost.  How do I identify myself?  What do I believe and why?  What are my standards and how strict am I?
