“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
When the pain is too much, it is ok to cry. Sometimes your frustrations get the best of you. That is ok too. Sometimes life gets to be too much no matter what stage you are in. It is ok to feel overwhelmed.
Today has been one of those days for me. Frustration from the day and previous days boil over into a river of tears that flow down my face as I decompress from it all. As I cry, I look up and I wonder what tomorrow will look like? Will it be good? Will it be bad? Will it be just as stressful as today? I do not know. However, what I do know is tomorrow will come no matter what I do, and I have two choices. Wake up and face it with all that I have in me, or let it pass me by.
At this stage in time, I want to wake up and face it.
Let’s be real for a second. How many of us have seen the media outlets posting about the increase in depression, suicide, and other unfortunate dealings of the life of the typical person? * Raises hand* I have! I have seen the increase in rate of these phenomenon as well as the increased media coverage on issues such as stresses of life. Despite how many different people there are in the world. There are a few things we all have in common.
ONE of those commonalities is a little emotion described as pain.
Pain itself can be physical and emotional and affects us all differently. Due to its variance in effects we all react differently to painful stimuli due to numerous causes.
I am here to tell you that THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, IF YOU FEEL PAIN!
We all will feel it at some point due to various circumstances. Luckily, as a pretty advanced species we have come up with some very interesting ways to cope with pain (for better or worse) and these various coping mechanism just show one thing about us all. We are all capable beings and some awesome badass people.
I say all of this to get my point across. For anyone who is contemplating suicide, self-harm, or any other form of self-inflicted abuse because you are hurting. PLEASE DON’T GO THROUGH WITH IT. A permanent solution to a temporary problem will rob you of the roller coaster experience that is life as well as others who will experience you. There are people you have yet to meet that you will bless just by being yourself-embrace it. love it. Bask in all that is you and learn to drink of your own essence as nourishment.
Best in Love.
