Known…

Known… an adjective that means specified or identified… There is, at times, such an uncomfortable level of vulnerability that is involved with being known… Especially when the trials of life cause feelings and emotions to bubble to the surface that you had all but forgotten about… Or maybe you didn’t forget about them… Maybe your time has been spent denying their existence… Either way it can be extremely uncomfortable to give another person insight into the parts of you that … Continue reading “Known…”

If they wanted to know the truth…

There are people who don’t like you… People you have never interacted with… And these people don’t like you because of a version of you they heard about from someone you are no longer in relationship with… And what’s interesting about this is the fact that sometimes the version of you they describe is either a false version or a version of you that no longer exists… I have seen that happen from time to time in my own life… … Continue reading “If they wanted to know the truth…”

Honestly, I wish I didn’t care…

My emotions have really been all over the place lately and I have reached this place where I wish I could go back to the days when I was more numb, and didn’t feel everything so deeply… Because the emotions that I tend to feel deeply are generally more so connected to some sort of pain or frustration… Earlier I had to tell myself repeatedly that “you are not ‘less than’ because he wants nothing to do with you…” This … Continue reading “Honestly, I wish I didn’t care…”

New realities…

Change is always kind of hard for me to accept… And maybe that’s not even the correct phrase to describe what I have experienced… but it always takes my mind and emotions a while to catch up with and embrace whatever new reality presents itself to me… And it’s kind of funny when I really think about it because I am such an overthinker and almost always obsess about anticipated changes before they happen… Yet once the change actually takes … Continue reading “New realities…”

Gratitude and frustration…

My thoughts have been all over the place lately… and that’s the main reason that this blogpost is late… Because it was such a struggle to decide what train of thought I would take you on… I really have so much to be grateful for… And my gratitude continues to motivate me to keep pushing towards by goals… Because I am truly walking in a season of answered prayers… And I want to steward this season well… But I simultaneously … Continue reading “Gratitude and frustration…”

Thoughts while in mid-air…

Taking a step of faith is such a wild process… And though I’ve taken many different steps of faith throughout my years on this earth, I can honestly say that there has never been a time that I didn’t doubt my decision… Especially after I’ve taken the step and my foot in kind of dangling in mid-air because it hasn’t quite landed back onto solid ground… Thoughts while in mid-air… Or maybe it’s more accurate for this to say “battles … Continue reading “Thoughts while in mid-air…”
