Light Bulb Moment

Stuck in traffic i had an idea.

An idea to write.

About Myself a 30 something female living in a world surrounded by the need and want to be that insta perfect girl.

Everyday i fight with a constant battle to find myself and to be happy with how i look.

Now i know im not the only one who feels like this there are millions of us out there who just want to be happy when they look in the mirror.

The constant strive to look the same as the beautiful people do is just so tiring.

How do we find peace with ourselves and focus on whats most important in life?

I'm not perfect

I'm not perfect, that sentence is enough as it is to explain me. It's cliche but also true. Just like everyone else, I'm human and I make mistakes. I have flaws and insecurities and it's hard for me to love myself and hard to be liked because the way I am as a person. I guess it's because I show people good parts of myself first and then later on the bad parts of myself. So in the end they think I fooled them. When really I didn't. People just need to see..just because I seem so perfect when you first meet me. I'm really not and they need to accept that but some don't and to be honest it's whatever.

"Give me the truth". Words of wisdom from @beautaplin Sometimes the truth hurts. It can make us fall apart and break into pieces. But it can also be a turning point for reflection, for healing, for forgiveness. Hopefully that is a point where one can rebuild and move forward in a positive way. I can be very forgiving. I give every person one chance. One chance to speak the truth and be honest. If they decline that chance and continue with their lies, then that is the point of no return. This applies to all types of relationships and friendships. #youvebeenwarned #truth #behonest #imnotperfect #love #friendships #relationships #quotes

I’ve been way off the wagon the last couple weeks as far as 80 Day Obsession goes! We moved a few weeks ago so life has been a bit hectic! Not that I haven’t been doing anything, I mean, I consider two 12 hour days of climbing up and down a ladder to paint a really good workout! lol! I was about a week into Phase 3 of 80DO when we moved so today I’m starting over with Phase 3, I’m going to finish this 80 Days even if it takes me 100! Today was AAA! One of my faves!! . . . #80DayObsession #Beachbody #BeachbodyOnDemand #BOD #workout #hectic #LifeHappens #ImNotPerfect (at Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront)

The Promise

“The promise, made when I am in love and because I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love. A promise must be about things that I can do, about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling in a certain way. He might as well promise to never have a headache or always to feel hungry.”

- C.S. Lewis , Mere Christianity

*confession time*

There was a point in recent time that I didn’t like myself. Not even a little bit. I was struggling in my faith. I was trying to come to terms with how I made it back from multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan in one piece. (It’s called survivor’s guilt.) I was pushing friends and family away because I knew I was toxic. I knew that I wasn’t doing what I needed to do. I didn’t know what it was I was supposed to do to not do what I was doing. I just didn’t know who I was anymore. I didn’t know how to deal with people around me, and didn’t even want to try. I even tried to convince my wife to leave me. She was bearing the brunt of all of it. How could she not? She’s my wife.

Lucky for me (thank you Lord!), she refused. She said: “No! You promised me! You promised me that this was forever! I know you, you don’t break promises. Don’t start with this one.”

Talk about a wake up call.

Men, don’t break your promises. If you find that you’re “not in love anymore”. Grind it out. Figure it out one way or another. Find a reason to be in love again. Yes, of course she deserves that from you. You owe it to yourself as well.

We all fall. We all fail. What makes you a man is whether or not you get back up and keep doing the work.
