| A bible verse that I thought fit this post perfectly. |
Sometimes we think we can handle everything. That's not always the case. We try to accomplish everything and we feel like a failure if it isn't done. We also know we can try again tomorrow. My life right now doesn't always feel like its full of happiness (some days it can feel like that) and typically I feel a lot more overwhelm / anxiety / worry than I should around the holiday season (lots going on and I feel like my head is spinning). I know I should slow down, take a breath, and relax. Sometimes I cannot always do that; I usually have a hard time slowing down. Need to practice self-care more during this season and beyond.
I just feel sometimes people don't hear me when I'm trying to speak them. I'm trying to help them and I feel like I did something wrong (even though I didn't do anything). I just feel even more emotional than I already was intending to be. I just need to know that I'm here and that sometimes you don't need to shut me out. I can't take the fact that season is already getting to be too much for me (and none of the celebrations haven't even happened yet). I don't feel as excited as I should and I know I should be happy but I'm not.
I don't get depressed to the point of where you neglect your normal day to day routine; I just get sad and just want to hide away from the world. Nothing excites me in this state of mind. Reassurance and distractions are two keys to getting me out of this sometimes. I know everything will feel back to normal when the new year starts. I am hoping it will at least feel like that.

Back to normal seems like a big statement to put in place; why you ask? Because sometimes you can't always get what you expect. It will still feel the same because you choose to make yourself feel this way. You cannot change this unless you take the change for yourself (take that statement with you).
Hoping for more new things to try, to get back my motivation to get back into writing again, and to know I can handle anything (as basic as this sounds). I can overcome the feeling I feel inside somedays; I can get past this; I can move forward; I can choose to let the light in when I feel my heart needs it rather than letting my heart feel destroyed inside.
If you are feeling this way, know you can get beyond it. I've got that faith in ya. I can be that person you can talk to, cry to, sip coffee with, etc.
You are worth the love you bring into this world.
You are worth every ounce of magic that you have given to this world.
You are the light that shines (even if you don't think you do).
You are one person; you can overcome; you are allowed to feel things; you are allowed to have bad days; you are worth it.
Just wanted to share with you all today. Been needing to more lately.
