...And getting back up on the horse. I haven't written in a while. I have been going through some things and to be honest felt stupid for things I had written before. I'm coming to terms with things in my life and I'm coming to realize that I shouldn't feel stupid and anyone who goes through anything similar to things I go through should not feel stupid. If you fall for the wrong boy, or you do something wrong (in the opinion of someone else) you shouldn't feel stupid. I'm coming to the realization that everyone is entitled to be completely happy in a moment and if that moment changes that's ok. These moments make up life and everyone is going to go through up and down moments. So, since I have come to this realization, I'm back and getting to the point of being better than ever.
For a little update, I am no longer with my boyfriend. I did the crying I did the self pity. I'm over it. I am also in the process of facing my problems and my past head on. I am currently going to therapy every week. At first when my doctor put in an order for me to get a consult with a psychologist, I was upset. I felt like this meant I was crazy and weak and a whole bunch of other things. But now I know that my past greatly effects me. In more ways than I actually knew. So I am getting the help I need. Many people in general as well as in my family or in my group of friends will argue that you just need to get over things or work through them. Well sometimes that doesn't work or some traumatic events are too big to get over by yourself. AND THAT'S OKAY! I'm choosing to forget what they think because maybe for them that's the answer but for me the answer is going and getting help from someone. I would like to think this makes me strong because it is very hard to ask some one else for help and let yourself be completely vulnerable to someone especially a stranger. It's getting worse at the moment because things are getting brought up that I had 'forgotten' about but I know that this will all lead to everything getting better.
Now I think the reason I decided to come back and share this all with whoever may read this is because of the whole reason I started this blog. Good or bad times I want to help people. And yes this to me is a really bad time but I'd rather be completely vulnerable to everyone and get my things out there than that one person who might read this, to feel like they don't matter or they are the only one who ever went through something. Because I've been there and I would never wish that on anyone.
I am devoting the rest of today's post to quotes that are really sticking out to me right now and hopefully at least one of them will help you :)
❋ Tough times never last, but tough people do. -Robert H Schuller
❋ What lies behind you & what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
❋ When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better. -Mary Engelbreit
❋ If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? -Unknown
❋ The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. -Ulysses S. Grant
❋ When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. -Henry Ford
❋ Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around & give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. -Michael Jordan
And one of my favorites. I always go to this 'person' when I need a good quote. They are silly but they always make such sense.
❋ I learned there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead, others come from behind. But I've bought a big bat, I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me. -Dr. Seuss
I'm working on getting my big bat, what are you going to do today to get yours?
