Moving on

How do we move on from something that we are so used to knowing? It takes a lot to make a drastic change to your life and that often keeps people from even trying. In the wake of it all the journey is not always going to be pleasant. We can't let that keep us from trying.

We have to look deep inside ourselves to find the power to move on but sometimes that isn't even enough. Some are raised put put all your faith into God and put your thoughts into prayers to see results, but I find so much wrong in that.

You should always have all your faith in God, regardless of how good or bad things are going. Choosing to relocate your faith due to circumstances doesn't truly change how your feeling. Faith is tricky in that you cant just simply choose where it lies. If I want to believe in thew ginger bread man, I can't simply tell myself I do. It takes a lot to believe in something. You can't just simply say it, you have to mean it. Open your heart to the light and you will be consumed but you have to be willing. It rarely is the easy road at first glance, which scares most off. Finding your faith is the first step to controlling your life.

Prayer is something that I was tough at a young age but I always remained reserved about the use. Growing up I participated in several every day where a laundry list of requests would be named off. I quickly realized that people tried to use theatrics to enhance the overall experience as well. To me its not always about asking, but about thanking.  I find prayer very holy and pure and always take it seriously but I feel you should never use it wrongly. Talking with God is something I think we should all do, but not only when you need something.

Lastly I find that when we get hurt by someone we love, we usually run right back to that person . I constantly find myself forgiving others because I want to believe that they are better than that. I have been through some heartache in my life, but I feel it strengthens me. I will always be here to take the pain that I am dealt because I enjoy sacrificing for others. Sometimes people will neglect you until the day they realize what they have been missing all along. Sometimes its already too late. Be steadfast in being a rock for people. Just remember to cherish every moment, because you never know which one will be your last.

I've lost a lot of people in my life, and I don't want to lose anymore.  I have been hurt by my friends and family but that will not stop me from being me and being there for them. We are here to help each other, and that sometimes bears a burden, but its one I gladly take.

This is where I start

Sometimes we have to search inside our heart to find what drives us to keep living. When you take your life and look at it for yourself, and no one else, you can start to realize what you truly want. Sometimes we get so clouded by what society wants us to chase and pursue. What is it you live for? Do you feel yourself being called to a greater cause? What makes you wake up every day and go about your life?


I think we have it all wrong. We are here for a purpose, and that is to change the world for the better. I feel since the beginning of time, all we have done is prolong the problem. Somewhere in the mix we got caught up in fighting over stupid things. I don't think fighting is ever justified except for when its fighting for what is right. This leaves us at the question of defining what right is.

Next time your outside take a second to just stop and look at the biggest tree you can find. Even something that big starts out as something so small. A seed gives births to something larger and more meaningful. We are very similar to trees. We are put here with the tools we need to grow and have an impact on the world around us, we just sometimes choose to not use them. If you ever find yourself upset over feeling alone, know that we are all in this together. We are all family, no matter how diverse.

If yours struggling to find something to put your faith in, look no further than yourself. I have faith in you, and together we can all make a change. There is more to life than people are currently seeing.
