Love Conquering All

Thanks to my sister to introducing me to this song.
Honestly, I don't think I can even express how this song has brought clarity to my current relationship. Strength, awareness, belief, faith, courage, devotion. This song is full of support and illustrates beautifully how 'love' should be between two people. Sometimes songs, like this one, are even able to illustrate that maybe there is something better.

And then there is this song. I stumbled upon it myself. I have enjoyed Rascal Flatts for years now, and often find they have lyrics that I can really relate to. This song is no different. I have social anxiety and this song really helps me cope with my anxiety. If you've ever felt like you have to always be strong, give this song a listen. And remember that "people cry not because they're weak, it's because they've been strong for too long." Enjoy, with love.

It's all about perspective

I found myself earlier reflecting on yesterday - was it a bad day, or was it a good day? I don't usually label my days as bad or good, to be clear, but yesterday wasn't a regular day. Niagara Falls, Ontario The short of it: I had an anxiety attack, in the rain, in downtown London, on the way to an event with my partner who had yet to witness an attack. The works - tears, hyperventilation, nervous energy and jitters. But to truly elaborate the perspective bit, there is a longer story to it. I think it's important to add context, to shape why it was a matter of a bad day vs good day. So here we go.

Consistently Inconsistent

I've certainly proven that I'm unable to regularly journal or blog. That I'm pulled to write when things are bad or awry or beyond my control, but rarely in a time where I feel joy, happiness or am at peace with things. We all know I'm here, journaling again, because I'm in my head. Feeling. Reflecting. Likely overthinking. As to be expected - consistently inconsistent. I've been pushing myself for months now. Focusing on doing more, achieving more, earning more, finding more....always more . And I am so t i r e d. Somewhere along the way of trying to redefine myself and achieve goals I had set for myself, I lost sight of why I was doing things. What was motivating me. Why I set these goals.

Vulnerability

For the past few days, perhaps even a week now, I have been tossing and turning many ideas through my head of what to blog about. I even was able to get a draft going on the value of actions vs words, but it just doesn't feel finished yet. I finally came up with a concept. Vulnerability. I know most of us know what vulnerability is, or what it means to be vulnerable, but in case anyone is looking for clarification, Webster's dictionary defines vulnerable as "capable of being physically or emotionally wounded; open to attack or damage." So many of us spend our lives running from being vulnerable, from trying to protect ourselves because we simply don't want to be hurt. I'm not talking just about relationships here, but everything. Some of us don't like to have pets, because eventually a bond is created and that makes us open to pain, especially knowing that odds are we will outlive our pets. It also pertains to careers- many of us stay inside the ...
