“Those who take intrusive positions on women’s health now also take a hard stance on the right to bear arms.” - Darrell A. H. Miller

It's interesting to see that the same people who are advocating for the right to bear arms are the same people who are saying no to abortions. Is an embryo worth more than an already living, breathing, human being? There's so much hypocrisy, it's sickening. Why do we protect this right? So we can use them to kill off the lives that are already being lived?

[agapeeunoia]

America is one of the only countries to have the right to bear arms and with that constitution we have lost so many lives when there is no war happening on the home front. This right has been taken out of historical context and now we are having precious lives with so much potential being taken away from us. What did our children do that they would have their lives ended in such a terrifying and painful way? How does the public benefit from being allowed access to guns? How is this furthering our society? We are mocked across the world and yet nothing has changed. The only thing we're doing is punishing individuals instead of getting rid of the root problem. We aren't doing anything to prevent things like this from happening again. Why are we protecting inanimate killing tools and not our children?

[agapeeunoia]

I want to take a moment for the lives that were lost yesterday. Yet another tragedy where young children were going to school just like any other day and parents were sending their children to school just like any other day.

You were so loved while you were here. You will be missed while you're gone. If you know anyone who has lost a loved one because of gun violence, has a young child, or is a survivor please check up on them.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

— Maya Angelou

[agapeeunoia]

Another popular saying is that ax will forget but the tree never will. Depending on the scale of the feeling, we either completely forget it or we will always remember it. In elementary school my mom went along on a school trip as a chaperone and all the other chaperones bought their kid a toy from the gift store except mine. I will never forget how that one thing made me feel. I've long since gotten over it but I will never forget what happened. Be good to the people around you.

[mentalquotes]

[agapeeunoia]

I personally had a bad track record of going back to what my heart was trying to heal from and didn't add any positivity in my life. When situations that screamed that these people and things weren't for me arose, there was a part of me that wanted to rebel and try to attain them anyway out of my sheer pride and stubbornness. I'll tell you right now. You have to throw that pride and stubbornness away.

If things don't have a positive impact on you in the short or long-term, do not hold onto them. They will only hurt you and drain your time, money, and energy.

A podcast I started listening to recently called the Mindset Mentor asked this one question that stuck out to me. If I truly want to live a productive life, I had to start thinking about everything I was doing and how it would be beneficial to me. By asking myself this question with everything I do, I begin to re-evaluate the worth I put into some of the ways I passed my time. I used to spend at least 2 hours a day on cooking games, which means our the span of two weeks I spent more than an entire day playing a game that didn't add any value to my life.

Fear pushes you out the door, and desire calls out to you.

When it comes to money, there are two emotions: fear and greed/desire. Ignorance about money will only intensify these emotions. I will admit, I'm the not the most knowledgable when it comes to financial literacy and there have been times when I spent every last dollar I had in my bank account. I've been working on trying to be more financially literate in the last year and can slowly start to see more improvement.

You attract the same energy you give out. 

There's a saying if someone was an asshole then that person was an asshole but if your entire day was full of assholes, then you were the asshole. The same goes for the opposite. If you met a good person, you met a good person but if your entire day was full of good people you were the good person.

Be a good person, be the person you want to be, and you'll start to attract the same type of people.

Think of just ONE thing you got over. It can be anything, from the embarrassing wave you gave your neighbors when they were waving at someone else 5 years ago to your partner cheating on you. Nothing lasts forever. The emotions you feel now will hurt but it won't hurt forever.

When you're in this state where you physically, mentally, or emotionally can't do anything make sure you have someone you can trust at the air pump. Not everyone will want to be there instead of enjoying the fair but the one's who do are keepers.

Give your body a break and a chance to let go of any stored energy in motion called "emotion"

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”

— Meša Selimović

[agapeeunoia]

It's important to dig into the why of things. Why do you feel hurt in the first place? It's because you have some sort of attachment to whatever or whoever it is that's causing the hurt. Attachment is a sure sign of love, whether that love is healthy or not. You're able to realize you feel wonderful because you felt the pain. It's an unconscious comparison that's a part of life. Embrace the hurt so you can fully experience the joy of feeling wonderful.

“I needed to be somewhere different. Maybe I needed to be someone different, too.”

— Heather Davis / The Clearing

[agapeeunoia]

You can't grow in places you're comfortable in. Every time you get comfortable somewhere or start forming bad habits, your brain switches to 'this is what keeps me safe' mode and starts to limit you. Being someone different requires growth, which is only possible if you don't have an invisible biological ceiling stopping you. Go places where you don't know anyone. Get the new fresh start that you need to be who you want to be. Make sure you don't fall back into old habits that are limiting you.

“Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.”

— Reyna Biddy

[agapeeunoia]

And those are the people who you need to separate yourself from based on what it is you're looking for. If you're looking for people who'll stick with you through thick or thin, know that these people will leave first.

If you make your happiness dependent on some external circumstances, you limit your ability to be happy.

[agapeeunoia]

If this is what you're doing, I encourage you to continue to do so until you come to your own conclusion on this statement. It will take you time to fully feel and realize the truth of this but that time is when you'll also be living your life and exploring what needs to be explored. Then once you start your internal growth journey, you'll be less tempted by the external circumstances because you already had all those experiences and know it won't make you happy.

“Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.”

— Ralph Marston

[agapeeunoia]

Emotion = energy in motion, triggered by different hormones that are fired in response to a stimuli. Feeling = state you're in during and after you go through the wave of energy called emotion. It's important to note that the hormones don't last, meaning feelings also don't last. It's normal to feel fear or cravings depending on what you experience through the emotion you feel but you must know it won't be forever.

“Scare the world: Be exactly who you say you are and tell the truth.”

— The Shock of Honesty

[agapeeunoia]

Exactly the last part. Tell the truth about yourself to yourself and you'll be able to do things you once thought you couldn't do. This will be difficult. Sometimes it's easier to continue to avoid the truth or lie to yourself to save yourself some pain but in the long-term you're doing yourself a disservice by continuing to deceive yourself.
