Anonymous Kind Words

Welcome to Anonymous Kind Words! We all need a kind word at some point or another in our lives and I hope this blog will provide you with inspiration, motivation, and little joy. Feel free to track the tag akindwordaday for all the posts and don't forget to make a wish on any of the charms in the header above before you leave. :)

Are You Okay?

Are you okay? No really, are you okay? Every day we are asked how we are, but out of those times how many times have we answered honestly? Probably very few. 

Personally, I know I’ve only answered honestly to that question once, and that was because in the few hours I got out of bed I managed to spill water on my laptop, lost all the files to an essay I rewrote for the third time, didn’t ace an interview I worked three years for, and argued with close family. That was the only time I flat out told someone, no, I am most certainly not okay. 

It’s okay to not be okay. We’re humans, not machines (actually even machines are sometimes not okay either, especially at the worst times possible). There will be okay days, and some not so okay ones as well. I just hope you are able to recognize when you are not okay, and go easy on yourself. 

Even if it’s not okay now, it’s okay. It will be okay someday. :)

Just a little of peaceful beauty back from a recent trip to San Francisco. I hope everyone has a beautiful day, and no matter what happens today, remember that each day is a wonderful fresh start!

I'm gonna dance on broken glass, on broken glass And I'm gonna make that ceiling crash, that ceiling crash So what? Still got knives in my back So what? So I'm tied to the tracks I'm gonna dance on broken glass

Broken Glass, Rachel Platten

You’re strong. You’re tough. You’re resilient. You will make it through this. I believe in you.

We get down down down We feel sorry for ourselves We get down down down We all need somebody's help Let's get loud loud loud till there's love and nothing else 'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around

Overwhelmed, Rachel Platten

Sometimes we hit a rough patch in life, and everything seems to implode all at once. I hope that despite what you are going through you are able to bring a bit of light into someone else’s day. Let’s all be there for each other. :)

Be Still

Between all the obligations we have from work, school, relationships, friendships, and family, it’s hard to take some time to just be still each day. Staying still is considered a waste of time, and multitasking is accepted as the norm.

However, we’re not machines. We’re humans. The physical, emotional, and mental limit we have is what makes us humans. The limit isn’t necessarily bad. The limit holds us back from just walking past all the simple beauties in life that we would have missed in our busy day. One of my favorite past times that I’ve picked up these past few years is watching the squirrels and rabbits scamper around during my lunch break. All they’re concerned with are simply three things. Food, water, and re population. As primitive as that sounds, aren’t those the basic necessities that we humans only need as well? Yes, I understand we all are busy with places to go and things to do, but try to take some time each day to be still. You’ll be amazed at what you can see, hear, and feel when you do.

Who cares if one more light goes out, in a sky of a million stars? It flickers, flickers. Who cares if someone's time runs out, if a moment is all we are. We're quicker, quicker. Who cares if one more light goes out, well I do.

One More Light, Linkin Park

For any of you going through a tough time right now, please keep holding on. It'll be worth it in the end.

A Reason Why

I’m sorry if you are hurting right now. I’m sorry if you feel like everyone has turned their backs on you right now. I’m sorry if it feels like there’s no hope left. I wish I could give you a hug and look you in the eye to tell you that everything will be okay. I can’t do that, but I sincerely hope this little spur of the moment post will help those of you out there who are hurting all by yourself. 

There’s a reason why you’re going through what you are going through right now. You may be frustrated, hurt, lonely, anxious, and just utterly broken down inside, but please hold onto faith and believe that there’s a reason for everything that happens in the world. As cliche as it sounds, we grow the most from pain and whatever hardships life throws at us. Our skin grows thicker, our hearts a little harder, and our souls a little more defiant the next time we hit a bump in the road. 

Your pain may seem like yours to bear alone right now, but I wish from the bottom of my heart that you don’t let that pain go to waste. Behind that well put together facade every single one of us is hurting, and I hope you have the courage and the wisdom to help someone out there who is hurting just as much as you were. 

“You should know, you’re not on your own, these secrets are walls that keep us alone. I don’t know when, but I know now, together we’ll make it through somehow.” -Courage, Superchick

Now faith is having confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we don't see.

Hebrews 11:1

I hope you have faith. Faith in yourself, faith in others, and faith that the future will only get better.
