An honest attempt at becoming inspired.

take some time to, if you’re able, think back to your hardest time – the time you thought that you really couldn’t get through – and then think about how far you’ve come; you did that, you got through, you fought and made those changes and that is so phenomenal: i’m so proud of you

Tonight I was treated in such a disgusting, abusive way. In a way, about a year ago, I was sit and tolerate. I’d put myself forward as a punching bag because this person I loved. Tonight, I took no punches. I drew a line in the sand that I have never drawn before and I feel empowered. I can say no to abuse and bad behaviour. I’m strong.

I think a big problem I have is thinking I’m barely living my life in comparison to others. I scroll through Facebook, Instagram and look at Snapchats of the people I know. They’re out partying with friends, travelling the world or making memories and I sit here wanting that for me. The truth is everyone lives a different live. Some people are more fortunate than others to have opportunities and support in order to travel the world and make the ‘ultimate’ memories at such a young age. The truth is, that isn’t my reality and my life may not be extravagant, but it’s my life and I shouldn’t live in envy of others. I’m healthy. I’m levelheaded and down to Earth. I have a beautiful family and friends that love me. I’m lucky enough to have a job in which I excel and have almost reached my third year of being there. I have a beautiful cat, who is always happy to see me and who loves to be there for me in her own cat way. I need to realise that life leads a different path for every single person. This is where my path has lead me so far. I’m forever grateful for being able to experience life and it’s simple pleasures and should remind myself of this everyday.

Goals for September

Each month I wish to set three achievable goals that I can complete:

- Save at least $300 for my holiday in November

- Commit to stretching everyday, for five minutes

- Do something creative everyday, whether that is related to writing, photography, drawing or doodling

Introduction

My goal with this sub-blog is to be constantly surrounded with images and words of inspiration and happiness that will motivate the same from inside of me. I’ve been struggling with my own mental health battle for years, meaning I usually seclude myself to the four walls of my bedroom in my spare time, for many reasons. Enough is enough. I want to start living. My goal is to find inspiration from others on this platform and, in turn, give myself and maybe others inspiration to truly find happiness in the time we have here.
