Happy Thursday Yall!!!
I’m Thankful for today!!!! Some of you know how much the relationship between me and my children mean to me. The effects that the dissolution of my marriage has had on my relationships have been damaging; ruining many. The relationships with my children, however, have concerned me more than anything. Noah and I especially, have been making an effort to mend our fractured relationship, and today he attended therapy with me. I am proud and excited, and I look forward to us being better than before. I am not looking for our relationship to be perfect, but bettter. I realized today, that all of this time, I’ve been using my transparency as a part of my healing, as well as a way to help others. Today, this was an asset to both myself and Noah. ANOTHER WIN.
There are many people who fear transparency for the fear of what others may think. They believe that others are living better lives based on what they see. No matter what we do, we should never compare ourselves to others. We never know what they are going through, or what happens behind closed doors. Additionally, not knowing what they’ve been through, or the Hell and fire they’ve been in to be where they are, we often may think their life is better than it actually is. Stop thinking, that because they have a neatly wrapped package, their life is perfect. Oftentimes, there may still be a war brewing inside of them.
My truth, being fully transparent, is that I’m fighting to save my life, AND the lives of those around me. I do this regardless of what I look like, feel like, or what people think. I do this, because I love God, others, and myself. Whether I’m old, fat, gray, or aging, prayerfully, me and my imperfections show up to save a life, even if the life I need to save on a particular day, is mine. This is my purpose.
When you compare yourselves to others, you’re competing in a race you’ll never win, because you never know what obstacles another person is truly going through. My suggestion is, to find your Purpose, and JUST BE YOU. Understand that, everyone deserves love and support, regardless of what the outer appearances are. Everyone sick may not look it. Every addict may not look like one. Every homeless person isn’t out on the corner, every abused person doesn’t have bruises. There is a ton of things brewing inside of many of us who look beautiful on the outside. Please stop thinking help isn’t needed based on what you see. I am just thankful that I don’t look like what I’ve been through, and if you don’t you should be thankful too. In fact, just be thankful for another beautiful Thursday!
