Before placing blame elsewhere just think;

“is this.. a result of my bullshit?”

“have i been a victim.. of my own bullshit?”

I CAN SEE WHERE LIFE IS HEADED...

Today was a lonely Saturday...

I woke up to a phone call coming from my mother that a very special event that my whole family was going to attend had just recently been cancelled.

Right. GREAT. T_T

The event was scheduled earlier in April, but later got moved to a TBD date due to issues occurring within a specific part of the globe.

Additionally, we had paid a lot of money to have a beautiful dress sewn for the event.

Just for the event TO NOT HAPPEN...

Great.

Additionally, I have noticed that a lot of plans I had for this weekend didn't go according to plan.

For example, one of my special childhood friends was supposed to drive up to where I live this weekend. I was extremely excited to see her, and we had a thrilling phone call discussing all the future ideas we had in store.

However, life had other plans. She, in fact, didn't come.

Additionally, my other friends who are currently in town are way too preoccupied with their own lives to truly hang out.

And additionally? My boyfriend, whom I love and hang out with the most, is out of town for the weekend.

And look, this is not me saying that I don't have my own life, priorities, or tasks.

It's just to show that sometimes what we have in mind doesn't necessarily work out as we imagined.

So as I sat in my room thinking about all of the things that didn't go my way, I came to terms with another uncomfortable epiphany:

"WE'RE ALL MOVING ON."

Life is not stagnant. It is a constantly operating machine that will never stop for your own self-pity.

Think about it this way. Does the river cease to flow for the rocks lying at the bottom of its stream, or does the sun ever fail to set as the moon slowly shifts into the night sky?

No.

All of our lives are moving.

We're all locked into our own ideals of self-growth, enjoyment, and development.

Ever since high school ended, I have witnessed the many new stages and milestones my generation has hit.

Some are getting married.

Some have joined the army.

Some are student-athletes.

Some are on the cusp of cutting-edge research.

Some are starting families.

Some are in college.

Some just don't know what they're doing.

And that is just life.

All the people who have come into my life serve a certain purpose, and then when their role is done, they move along.

Family becomes more distant. Friends become strangers. Close voices become remote, and life shifts into a more innate and closed bubble (well, at least in my own experience).

It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just the way it is...although it can feel lonely...and it does hurt. A lot.

As I am shifting into the modern adult version that I am becoming, diverging from the youthful spirits of child-like exuberance into the stark reality of physical existence, I need to realize that these mere filler days... the days that don't always go according to plan...are sometimes crafted as lessons to teach me something.

However, I must also remember that as the old leaves, the new has yet to begin.

There are so many more life experiences I have yet to encounter, places I have yet to discover, and people I have yet to meet that will all inevitably change my life.

Like for example, one day, my own special nuclear family.

Or a random person who will become my next close buddy.

I don't know what is to come.

But all I know is that in the end, it will be beautiful, and truthfully, all is working out for my good.

And that is the solitude I can rest with for tonight.

Sincerely,

Yemi A

Do you ever feel powerless to change what happens TO, THOROUGH, or IN you? Powerlessness is one of the most debilitating, depression and anxiety inducing states we can face. I have good news for you, this is Jesus specialty. He defeated powerlessness even as far as death. He defeated powerlessness so you can have that same ability through Him. He came to empower you with Grace in your weakest times. “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬ ‭TPT‬‬ https://www.bible.com/1849/2co.12.9.tpt #truthtalks #heisthetruth #jesuschrist #jesusistheway #grace #empower #abundantlife #powerlessness #beatdepression #beatanxiety #powerfulquotes #inspirationalquotes #inspirationcoaching #inspirationalbiblequotes #gracewinseverytime #lovewins #helivesforever #helivesinme #youcanbeatthis #2corinthians129 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1ZxjyF7Is/?igshid=1omt8zixq8c5y

We Are Owed Not Owned!!! What has society done for you to warrant their justices? If someone came to you with an offer where you give 10% of your life everyday, how much would you charge them? Today we have the advantage of foresight and can make an informed decision but in the early years they didn't have this luxury and had to make a rash decision Just as an example take 10% of my life and equal it to $100 a day that's $700 a week, that's $2800 a month, that's $33,600 a year, we generally start working in our teens, 15 to 16, to retirement at 65, so that's 60 years times that by $33,600 = 2,016,000? Sounds good right, now take out living expenses like power food and rent then work it out or would you like me too? ▶ Power. =300 ▶ Food. =300 ▶ Rent. =400 ▶ Car. =200 ▶ Tax. =RYE (Relative yearly earnings) ▶ Kids. =Endless Do I need to carry on, its prevalent and proven in the numbers that people are being short-changed and society is reaping the rewards of your hard labor! Inflation has dealt us a gentalmens hand and called it a flush, pulling the wool over your eyes into believing in something that will be your downfall? The beginning of a life of struggle, scarcity and negativity towards the people you thought we're here to help you? Inflation is not helping you to get ahead and the more you try the more you owe, society doesn't pay enough to get ahead, step up and be your own boss and pay yourself what you are worth, tax is a burden but a necessity for all things to function but now awake with a new found awareness, what are you going to do to level up!!! Take back your power people!!! Regards Thomas🙏 #empoweringminds #freedomlifestyles #truthtalks #bswalks #urax #youareaten (at Taranaki) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByazlgRlyQU/?igshid=1dkehsy0bfc7g

One last post for my evening... just another 2 hours to drive and my holiday officially comes to a close. This is always the hardest part for me, as I drop sleepy Brian off (he has to be at work at 430am 😳). I miss him desperately already... but he is an adult and I have to deal with life changing. 😔 I know that I am blessed, and I was so lucky to have all of my kiddos together for the holiday...I will continue to remind myself of that. I have NO CLUE how my empty nester friends do it! Any tips and tricks... I mean, I still have 3 at home and I have been coping for a year and a half but it doesn’t seem to get easier. 🤔 #truthtalks #realtalk #momofanadult #momof4 #reallife #yeshesmine #missmyson #latenightthoughts #reallife #busybaraldis #hesleptfornearlytheentireride #2hourstogo #2hoursthere2hoursback #coffeeinhand #drivingthepaturnpike #delawarehereicome (at Wind Gap, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br1hFaOlBU5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12wud4l8pgv2h
