I’ve been hearing the term ‘new normal’ way too much lately. Let’s be honest, this is not our new normal. At least it’s not mine. I’d say it’s more of a temporary set of rules we are suggested to follow. Personally, I believe it’s a bit much but regardless of how you feel accepting this way of life is depressing. And I am all about being positive so it certainly doesn’t fit into MY normal. And it doesn’t have to. Because only you can make your life amazing and allowing negative shit to bring you down and drag you around is no good. I always remind myself that bad energy only attracts more of it. Putting good vibes out into the world and being positive will bring good things your way AND rise the vibration around you. It’s sort of like a mirror – you reflect what you’re feeling. So try to smile, be grateful and move forward in a way that is best for you. Feel the sunshine and flow with it. Chase it. Whatever makes you happy and brings you peace – keep doing it. You’re allowed and most certainly expected to. And anyone who will tell you different is probably miserable themselves so not sure you should be taking advice from them anyway. Just be kind and keep moving. Try to understand and accept, even when it’s hard. Be calm, even when it’s rough. And spread love, because the world around you truly needs it.

THIS. This is where I’m at right now. And where I need to be. There are so many negative things going on in the world but lately I feel like I’m being bombarded with bullshit, ignorance, lies, hate and pure lack of empathy for others. All the while dealing with my own personal issues. So I decided to take a few steps back to reflect and let the dirt settle. And I like it here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know people may not feel as I do. That’s fine. We are all different. But when people judge and rant and spew idiotic comments without even listening or trying to accept others, I just don’t have time or patience for that. Not sure why anyone would waste any moment of their life dealing with such poor behavior. I feel like our country is more divided than ever and sadly people are just making it worse. I don’t care what side you’re on of whatever damn issue we are dealing with – we all need to stop, listen, communicate and accept what is. But instead, people rather step up on their soapbox and rant away. Pointing fingers. Giving orders. Telling others how they should live their lives when they don’t have that right. I’ve honestly never been so fucking annoyed and disgusted. So again, I took a few steps back and it became even clearer. I decided to stay where I was and not be a part of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I chose to move forward and live my life as I want. Live my truth. I am focusing on what it’s important and what makes me happy. Surrounding myself with people I love, projects that excite me, the beauty of nature, and knowledge to enlighten my journey. Living my best life and always striving to be better is how I’ve always chosen to live. I’m not going to stop now. And when things are crashing down around me, I refuse to be a part of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I’ll just keep skipping on with a smile and hope that the positive energy and kindness I project could maybe rub off on others… and change the scenery a bit. Because I’m over it. I’m done. Choosing sunshine over darkness is what I need to be happy and I’m allowing the light to lead the way.

It’s NOT fine

This year has been eye opening for me. It started off bad, took a turn for the worse, and now I’m left with disheartening views and such a bitter feeling toward this country and the people living in it. It’s unfortunate but everything happens for a reason.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I usually speak my mind no matter what. Always. But lately I’ve been taking a step back a bit to observe what’s going on around me. Seeing with my own eyes how people are treating others and how they use words to sadly show their true colors. The lack of understanding and empathy out there is pretty sad. And I don’t want any part of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I tell myself, this is NOT okay. This is NOT fine. So I tune it out because I can’t have that crap in my life. I know I cannot change the world. But I can create how I want my life to be by living MY truth. And in doing that I release positive energy into the world around me. That is how you birth change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My happiness allows more love and kindness to bloom around me. And isn’t that what we need most? Personally, I am so over a lot of shit going on in the world. But all I can do is move forward because life doesn’t just stop. We can pause for a bit to rest… but we must get back up. Nothing changes if you stand still too long. And change is essential.

I’ve never been one to compare myself to others. It’s just not a healthy thing to do. We are all different and live our lives as we choose. Some people seem to find themselves stuck in the comparison hole. Once you’re in there it will be hard to get out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I personally don’t give a fuck what anyone says about me or my choices. lol. That’s me. Always was and always will be. If I go down a path it’s because I feel it’s the right one. And yes we all make mistakes but regret is something I don’t carry with me. You live and you learn. And knowing your true purpose will always move you in the right direction. If you focus and allow yourself to be captivated by your purpose, your journey will be much easier.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choose YOU every time and good things will happen. You are the light. Shine as bright as you can and that energy will consume the people around you, uplifting their souls and inspiring them to see their true purpose as well. Negativity only kills the magic. And comparing yourself to others is a good way of suffocating your inner light – because you will never be someone else. And no one else can be you. Live your truth.
