Starting To Heal

By

                      This Christmas will probably be different for most this year. Instead of families gathering together there will be phone calls and video chats. We will find ourselves missing those that can't be here with us and those that we have lost. We will feel pain and anger and hurt and sorrow. It is okay to feel this way even when others tell you that they are in a better place, or they they are no longer suffering. You  will still feel the loss. Remember everyone grieves in their own way and own time. Even the healthcare works feel the loss even though they don't have the time to show it before taking care of the next patient. When you feel like you can't go on call a friend to talk to or even a professional. Remember you are not alone. In time the pain and anger will fade away and the hurt and sorrow will become less. There will come a time when you see a picture or hear a song on the radio and it will remind you of them and you will remember the way they laughed or the times you spent with them and you will find yourself smiling. They will always be with us. We will hold their love in our hearts and will  know they are always watching over us. And that is when we will start to heal as a world, as a nation, as a community, as a family, and as an individual. And as always hold your love ones tight and do something nice for someone.

Everybody is unique

By
                  I have talked about this before, but it is important to discuss it again.   It used to be that body image was usually something that affected mostly girls and young women, however more recently we are seeing more boys and young men dealing with it. With more access to social media young people are flooded with images of the perfect body. They believe that they have to look like these people. They are also sometimes confronted with hurtful comments. They can feel like they are unworthy or unloved. This can lead to physical and mental problems. This can also lead to depression and eating disorders. This can also lead to them trying dangerous things to look perfect. This can also lead to long term problems. As someone who has and sometimes still do, deals with body image negativity, we have to break the cycle. We should never compare one to another. Everyone is special and unique. Everyone needs to realize that their self worth is not defined by what they look like. Beau

Losing Sight Of Who You Are

By
                       In the chaos of todays world it is easy to lose sight of who you are. Do you look in the mirror and not recognize who you are? I'm not talking about physical appearance. Society tells us that we are are suppose to be a certain type of person and to act a certain way. Society tells us that it is not okay to disappoint anyone,  so sometimes we take on more than we can handle. Society teaches us to never say no or to never help someone even though we just can not handle one more thing, because that would be letting others down. We are expected to be like robots or puppets and not ever show our emotions. We are expected to be perfect. If we ask for help especially mental many times we are judged and criticized, because we are suppose to be strong enough to handle anything. We were not created to be perfect. We all fall down sometimes. We hurt. we get angry, we feel overwhelmed, we even feel lost at times. We are human and that is okay. Sometimes we have to say no
