Behind the Story – Changing the Narrative to Full-Throttle

For quite some time now, I’ve been trying to fully understand why I have never gone full-throttle on my writing. I’ve done a lot of question-and-answer sessions with myself over this and found a lot of answers as to why I think and feel the way I do. But even after finding those answers, every time I stepped up to the throttle to write, I always backed down. I backed down whenever some small…

I met this young woman in a coffee shop on a scalding day in south Florida. I'd just blown a tire on the rental I was driving, so my mood was about as unpleasant as the heat. But when she walked in with her associates and I spoke with them, I found myself smiling. They all were full of life and joy and hope-and you could see it on their faces. During the shoot, her positivity lit up the room. Her smile was infectious. It was like she knew something that no one else did. I forgot about my rough morning. Afterward, I sipped my iced mocha and thought about what a great day I was having. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The experience reminded me that what and who we are is a choice we make each moment of every day. And that choice affects those around us. We pen our own stories for the world to read. We determine our narratives. No person and no circumstance should ever speak louder than what is within you. If that has happened, it's time to #changeyournarrative⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who is writing your story? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #instaphoto #photooftheday #photography #videography #dallasphotographer #dallasphotography #fortworthphotographer #fortworthphotography #dfwphotographer #dfwphotography #dallasvideographer #dallasvideo #fortworthvideographer #dfwvideographer #eventphotography #eventphotographer #eventvideography #eventvideographer #lifestylephotography #lifestylephotographer #lifestylevideography #lifestylevideographer #travelingphotographer #travelingvideographer #ffp #fixedfocusproductions #fixedfocusframes #ffpphotos #ffpvideos (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdpyPmhbuV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17j823jpnolnz

Where’s my happiness?

nar·ra·tive

noun

a spoken or written account of connected events; a story.

They say insanity is doing the same thing,

over and over,

and expecting a different result.

So why is it,

that I keep looking for my happiness,

in the same place that I lost it.

Your arms.

nar·ra·tive

noun

a spoken or written account of connected events; a story.

The definition of “narrative” seems straightforward enough. If Merriam-Webster says this is narrative, then it must be, right? Black letter law, if you will. 

But from the first time I read it, I had a problem. The definition of narrative implies that every story is set in stone. As if there is only one true account of events and that doesn't change. But that just can't be. For every series of connected events there is more than one story and absolutely more than one account. The exact same events are going to be accounted differently from each person that narrates it. But personal viewpoints set aside, there is another variable that seems to be ignored . . . time. 

I mean, think about it. In the moment of some event, you feel the heat of that moment. But what about an hour later? Six months later? Ten years later? After any amount of time outside of the moment, are your feelings still the same? Chances are, your account in that moment is different than after x amount of time later.

Somebody said something to me this week. “Change your narrative, and change your life.” So why is it that we expect a story to be set in stone as it unfolds? That your account can’t change?

Well, by the power invested in me via tumblr, I say fuck that. Tell your story, reflect on how your feelings about that story are affected over time, and change your fucking story. Nothing is set in stone. Narratives are fluid. Your feelings are fluid. Time is fucking fluid.

If you want to change your narrative - shit, if you want to change your life - then change it. It’s yours to have and to hold, to mend and to mold, and tell it however the fuck you want to tell it. Life is some pick your own ending type shit. So go ahead.

There are lovers who have no interest in saving you, just creating space for you... to be. They don't want to take anything from you, they are here to just give of themselves in the same measure you give of yourself... they are not asking you to compromise... they only empower you to commit to the real you... stay true to you... take care of you... and be consistent in that. There are lovers who heal and fill voids you were not aware were there. They already know that you are of value, so they will not entertain your quests to try and prove your worth. They're not interested in tallying score as you recall the many times you were rejected..they only seek to remind you daily of the many ways ALL of you they've already accepted. #itsworthit #youareworthit #youcanhavewhatyouwant #changeyournarrative #lifeadjustsforyou #love #soulmates #twinflames #authenticconnection
