Bio
Pain is inevitable, I know that. What I didn’t know was that perspective can change. All it takes is a pair of different colored glasses, and of course a bit of work. I’m almost there, I can feel it. I want to share that with the world :)

Trial and Error
We are all born with the inability to function on our own, we are open and vulnerable to the world in hopes someone will care for us. Needing someone to lean on in order to survive because as newborns we cannot adapt to the new responsibilities of life. We have a clean slate, unmarked and ready for the world to make its first imprint. As we grow older we grow accustomed to the new realities, we learn and grow and celebrate the big milestones that are too soon taken for grated. We become fixated on the next step, the next stage all while not realizing that we are missing precious and memorable moments.

Do You Deserve?
Head spinning and thoughts exploding, life feels like it is going nowhere in this moment that I’m experiencing. Feelings of failure come crashing down, making my eyes begin to close and tears begin to flow. Shame creeps in, saying, “Who am I to succeed?” Feeling not worthy of much, still I push my luck and again I end up in the same spot.

Rose-Colored Glasses
Hard days pass and good ones do too, It all comes down to perceptive and views. Where thoughts are meant to be challenged, feelings are meant to be examined and behaviors are meant to be changed. When the hard days come again, you feel it like a sudden pang in your chest, coming from nowhere. It’s so painful it feels as if your world cannot go on, ending so quick and sudden. You feel the need to grasp the chest because the heart lay there cold and abandoned.

Balance
Balance. Life is filled with imbalanced people who spend their whole life trying to find the perfect equation or method in order to have balance. The world is accompanied by a bunch of strangers all living “under one roof” so to speak, who are all searching for the same thing, happiness. Searching for happiness can become one’s life quest, just the soul act of searching.

Struggles
Why do I have such an extreme urge to fit in? Why can’t I be as pretty as every other woman I see? Recovering from an eating disorder, or even just trying to like myself is so freaking hard to do. Why is that? A constant mindset of mine is a pessimistic one. “Who will ever love me,” “Why do I look like this,” “What good can come from this?”etc.

Instincts
The doubt consumes me, my everyday is filled with questions that I alone don’t have the answers to. All the worries make my blood rush to my head giving me the dizzy feeling only some people can understand. Thoughts confuse me, pulling in so many directions making it hard to choose which one to go down. Tunnels filled with darkness, never knowing which one will lead to the light.

Body Standards
Whispers scream in the moonlight, fighting every chance they can. The thoughts take over because the minds walls were down for an instant. Negativity seeps in and now I’m too far gone because my temperature has risen, I know I can’t be the only one.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt
“There’s always someone better off than you, and there’s always someone worse off than you” quoted by C.L. Hall. That leads to the question, what about me? Where do I stand? There should be no such thing as comparing, for everyone is fighting a battle only they are strong enough for.
