Rant Tuesdays "Snowball Effect"

Lately I find myself asking when the events in my life will quit snowballing into one another... Don't get me wrong, I have a wonderful life that I am forever grateful for, however some of the time it's just one shit thing after another for a brief period until it passes, but until then, it feels like it'll never end.
It can be a challenge to not let all the emotions consume your mind. A multitude of a thoughts rush in and I am just baffled at how to make sense of them all. What's ironic is the BIG "problems" are the ones I should have been prepared for. Those inevitable changes that you know are coming but just smack you right in the face as they walk past you. My head feels so clustered that it could honestly explode into a million pieces.
So how do I make sense of it? Well, usually begins with calling my "person". The one who sees you at your best and your worst, you listens to your every complaint with no judgement, celebrates every victory and isn't afraid to call you on your shit! These people are VITAL, if you're going to make your way through life and remain sane! Mark my words.
The second thing you'll see that I do is I spend a lot of time writing poetry, which if you read this blog page, you'll see that. I write because it's my escape from all the negativity and chaos, leaving me free to unleash whatever is on my mind cleansing my soul. It's putting all my deepest thoughts down which in turn lifts a giant weight off my shoulders. Even going back and re-reading what I've written really puts some of my thoughts into a clear perspective. Call me crazy, but it's one thing to think them and nothing to visually see them staring you back in the face. They invoke different energy and different feeling. You know, people keep saying "life is what you make of it" and ya, sure there is some truth to that but honestly some times you need to ride out the cards you've been dealt. You can't always make a bad situation good, you can't please everyone and you won't always feel happy. That's life. So maybe instead of saying life is what you make it, it should be "Everything that happens in your life is based on how you react to the events that occur in it"??? not as catchy, but far more realistic don't you think???

Our Minds Distort Our Mirrors

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Are you happy or do you stand there and pick yourself apart body part by body part, wishing you saw something different?  Here's the thing- in this new social media era, somehow the concept of body image has been so insanely distorted that truth be told no body really knows how THEY want their body to look. All they see is what SOCIETY thinks it should look like. Last time I checked other people didn't live your life, you do.  All these new online apps come out and the majority of the world sits on these apps scrolling through seeing how happy everyone else is, how 'in shape' they are, that being lean is the only type of sexy... and about 9 million other ridiculous concepts about what to eat, how to live, how to look etc...  When let's be real here- what you see in photos is not always how it actually is. It's an image of what they want you see about them or their life.  In my opinion there is no such thi...

The 5 Second Decision

“You will never”... how many of you have been told that, said that or worse, believed in that? Who you become; what you have, what you think and feel these are all things that are based around one capability. A capability I might add, that we all possess. This is the ability to make a decision. Not a decision for your parents, your siblings, your friends, but for YOU. It’s that simple. You see something, you go for it. You want something, you do everything you can to achieve it. You’re probably going to sit there and tell me, it’s not that simple. There are a thousand and ten variables that come with making an informed decision.   What is being “informed” anyway?? If you’re the type of person who says this- you have been living a life of excuses. Making a decision is simple. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Someone once said, “Indecision means the door is still closed.” Meaning- you are closed off to opportunity.   You are stuck in a small frame of mind. That being s...

Broken Glass Poem

Through your eyes, The glass wall shatters, And piece by piece, Suddenly nothing else matters, The broken shards, Are stained with red, And nothing but sorrow, Is filled in your head, The fractured glass, Digs wounds in your soul, With the feelings of misery, That are taking their toll, Pierced by pain as the glass cuts deeper, Sitting and waiting for a miracle peacekeeper, Searching for signs of change to occur, And hopes of this all becoming a blur, Swept away with hope, And brought to clarity, A save haven for peace, And ultimate tranquility, A new life has started, With no broken glass in sight, For you have pulled through the darkness, To see the sunlight.
