Oh my Vertigo

My encounter with vertigo is somewhat a new. I only started experiencing it early last year.

Vertigo, I thought I was falling off my bed but I wasn’t! The falling sensation was unreal! Like a roller-coaster getting reading to plunge down a steep angle.  Quite entertaining but not so when you’re tossing and turning in bed.

Vertigo, taught me to trust myself to take action and cure it! With the Epley Maneuver.

Since then I have experienced it less. Vertigo can be a hassle, so don’t let it bully you. After a few experiences you will learn of its pattern and know what measures to take in order to combat it. Don’t let it get to your head and stay true to your aim and intention: to make it Go Away!!

When you believe in yourself, a lot, and think of your safe forest/sea/underground/house/space you can face it. I always imagine myself holding a glass of green juice and smiling.

The Illusion

You set the rules, the boundaries, but when you experience them yourself, you feel suffocated, and not Free. Ain’t it Bitter? You get to taste your own medicine. You finally felt it and know that you lost the game, so that is really what is making you upset, really: That you were wrong; You were mistaken.

Forget about the wounds and regrets that you’re experiencing, that is not the real deal. Those are just a facade. Shoving everything under the carpet, an endless bottomless carpet, specially made for you, oh, that you created. Running away, ignoring, but putting up a brave front, to cover the coward that you really are. But certain people can see right through you.

You will not understand or realize what is happening, and probably never will. But who knows, even I do not. Because I am not God. God is God. I am ashamed and upset how you abuse Spirituality and Religion. But then again, it is not up to me to say. Time will Tell, Payment is Due, Death is Near.

Maybe you wouldn’t want to hear these words from me right now, but you are enough. You. Are. Enough.

For every second that keeps running.

You are relevant, you matter to the world, and you are of significance. You are not nothing neither everything yet you can still strive to fix things, as long as you still have air in your lungs and can breathe in the fresh air, you have the power to make a change, for the better.

& be like Prophet Nuh, alayhi salam, when he said:

(رَبِّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَإِلاَّ تَغْفِرْ لِي وَتَرْحَمْنِي أَكُن مِّنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ)

“O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have Mercy on me, I would indeed be one of the losers.”

Everybody has dark secrets. Usually these dark secrets are their most guilty, embarrassing moments, or even, their most guilty pleasures. Embarrassing pleasures.

What do we do with these secrets? How do we live with it? How CAN we live with it? How do we continue to live our lives normally while denying to do things that we really want to do?

Irene is a girl who grew up in an orphanage and never had any parents. She had the system taking care of her since she was a baby. The only information about her parents was that they died in a car crash. Up until primary school, Irene had thought that she didn’t have any parents because she was created from the earth and the rain transformed her into a human being. She had gotten this idea from a folklore fairytale she was told from a nurse at the orphanage.

How ideas and lies affected her.

If you have the courage to make it through a lonely night with nothing but your self-destructive thoughts to keep you company; darling, you have the courage to make it through anything.

In Scotland, a group of students went to a modern art gallery and left a pineapple in an empty exhibit to see if people would think it was art. When they returned four days later, not only was the pineapple still there, it had been covered with a glass case. Source Source 2 Source 3

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good — be good for something.

“I always wanted to be a mental health therapist.  Ever since high school, I’ve enjoyed encouraging people and giving them hope.  But I lost my way.  I got caught in a world of addiction.  I lost ten years of my life to drugs.  I stopped when I became pregnant with my child, but by that time it was too late to go back to school.  I started working as an office manager.  I never completely lost my dream.  But I just put it on a shelf for thirty years.  Then five years ago I to…ok it off the shelf.  I heard a lady in my choir talking about how she enrolled in community college.  I drove there the very next day.  I was so nervous when I filled out the application.  I was so nervous the first day of class.  All the old voices were telling me: ‘You never finish anything.’  But I said ‘fuck you’ to the old voices.  And I started getting A’s.  On my first test, I got the only perfect score in the class.  I graduated at the age of 50.  I got my Masters at 55.  And just last night I completed a mental health first aid course.  I’m so close now.  There’s still fear there.  I used to be afraid of it never happening.  Now I’m afraid of it happening.  The old voices try to come back sometimes.  They tell me: ‘You can rest,’ or ‘You’ve earned a break.’  But I’m not stopping this time.  Somebody out there is waiting for me to finish because they need my help.“
