Finding your strength is a power. Once you realize that you control your power, it is part of your transformation to become your best self.

As we see each day through different eyes, today's are where we need to see our happiness. The world is changing but that is not in our control. So find what you can control, your perspective.

How I am still in my growth from a seed

I look at myself and think many things but usually negative things. So this is where my growth has taken me today, to write about how I reflect back to myself. I have really grown to feel comfortable in my own skin. I have grown to accept and love myself too! But the lying voices that live inside still have power. Not complete dominance but enough to drain my energy and distract my mind. I see that I am pretty normal after all this struggle to evolve myself. I have kept my head up through out the day even when I was whacked with that mental stick.

Perspective

Looking through a lens that is not yours can lead you where you don't want to go in life. Then sometimes you can actually learn a whole new philosophy that can change your outcome. But how do you process and apply it to yourself is all up to you.

Acceptance of where I am today!

Today I am working on acceptance of myself and seeing that I am a worth being caught. I have come so far from where I was at this time last year. I was drowning in my pain of the loss of my love. My heart was broken and I was resorting to myself destructive coping mechanisms. From drinking benders to slashing myself to just release my pain. Well going through all this chaotic mess I was making of myself I want to commit suicide. This would have been my final solution that would have hurt to many people in my life. So I got some counseling and they made me write a suicide plan incase I was going to try it again. So here is where my healing recovery journey began.

Yesterday marked a year of the break from my love. During this year I have come so far to developing the true me that my love captured a couple of times. I let life cage me up and now my alone time has given the time to realize this me and I can't hold back in fear. So today I accept me and here is to hello to me as I begin truely explore the world around me.

I am taking my own life back but I finish taking care of the mess created by me first. Being honest to myself is also a very crucial point in creating the me that I am.

Small ways to find happiness

The repeat triggers that punch you and you realize say fuck it happened again. I would like to have some more triggers that were happy. So when your sitting there and it hits you have that smile that makes everyone jealous.

I see that triggers are just things that are supposed to remind me of the parts of me that I am still processing. So eventually the process in area will clear and something else will come. So here comes the new awareness fairy who gets me to see this process.

So the search for happiness is the carrot if your chasing it. But if you stop for a moment and realize that the happiness is not in what your chasing. So now you see that you get to make the choice of happiness.

How do I see happiness today? Whoa mental mind fuck because happiness is also a matter of perspective for us too!

Revisiting my humility

Some days the pain resurfaces and doesn't serve me any more. But here I am surrounded by light of others and and feeling stuck in my dark today. I feel a back slide coming on and that was something I worked through. The universe tells me otherwise. Why would it do that? To remind me I have not learned all my lessons in that fall. Hopefully this time I can be healthy in my mind and not listen to the voices to be able to work out my thought processes.

Feeling relief from who I was yesterday has been a journey. Like any spiritual journey there will be some back sliding from time to time. This is to reflect my humility.
