Through The Bareness Of 2024- My Journey
Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts. How beautiful would life be if we let go of pain, anger, sadness, grim! I wish we had built-in programming that would delete all the moments and experiences that stirred catastrophic fires and raged war and kindled and whooshed the fire within us simultaneously!

The Path of Effort and Destiny
The Path of Effort and Destiny In life, we often rely on fate. We say to ourselves, "Whatever will be, will be," and leave certain things to destiny. Sometimes we desire something, but it doesn’t come our way. In those moments, our mind says, "It's not meant to be," and we let go of it, moving forward. However, these thoughts often stop us in our tracks. When we fail to achieve something we want, our spirits are crushed, and we think we can never attain our goals. What we need to understand is that every effort we make brings us a step closer to our dreams. Determination, perseverance, and hard work reveal the power of our will. To achieve success, it is not fate that holds more importance, but the clear goal we set and the effort we put into it. Without a strong desire and willpower, even destiny cannot grant us success. Success is a journey. It is not only dependent on external factors. The significance lies in our efforts, the goals we set, and the steps we take to reach them. While destiny may play a part in offering us opportunities, it does not define our success. Reaching the peak of success means reaping the fruits of our own efforts. However, many times, we feel that our efforts are never enough. We sometimes feel like we need to pause or give up. This is the exact moment when we must look at our dreams again and decide, "Even if there are challenges, I will achieve what I set out to do." It is crucial to keep our determination alive and trust in our efforts. Destiny can only provide opportunities. But to make the most of those opportunities, we need to understand the value of our efforts, trust in them, and work hard. When our efforts bear fruit, we might find that destiny plays a small but important role in our success. To achieve what we desire, it is important to work hard and direct our efforts with clear focus. If challenges arise, overcoming them and continuing to try again and again is the true path to success. Every event in life should teach us that what destiny leaves behind can be transformed through our efforts, and success can be sculpted from it. When we achieve what we desire, it is not just a gift of fate, but the true reward for our relentless efforts. Success belongs to you if you keep making efforts, stay determined, and dedicate yourself to the task at hand. Example: Let’s take the story of Thomas Edison, the famous inventor, as an example. Edison faced numerous setbacks and failures in his lifetime. He is often quoted as saying, "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work." Edison’s journey to invent the light bulb was not easy. He faced many failures, financial struggles, and discouragements. However, his relentless effort, perseverance, and belief in his goal never wavered. He could have easily surrendered to fate and given up, but instead, he kept pushing forward, learning from each failure. In the end, Edison’s hard work paid off, and he succeeded in inventing the light bulb, changing the world forever. This story exemplifies how effort can transform seemingly impossible situations into extraordinary achievements. While destiny may have played a part in presenting Edison with opportunities, it was his unwavering persistence and tireless effort that led to his success. Just like Edison, when we keep striving towards our dreams, we can create our own success, no matter what obstacles we face. In conclusion, while destiny may offer us chances, it is our consistent efforts, our drive, and our determination that truly shape our journey and lead us to the success we desire. No matter how difficult the path may seem, our efforts, combined with faith in our abilities, will guide us to our goals.

A Year's Reflections. Content Warning.
I was reflecting on the last year of my life. Last December, I was doing everything I could do to try to protect myself and my children from the threat that I couldn't let anyone know about. I had a couple of women's shelters saved on my phone and had a "go bag" packed and hidden so that I could flee at a moment's notice. I tried my best to play my part correctly - I was a good Christian wife who needed to submit to her husband after all. I was devastated on New Year's Eve when after I had put in so much work over the holidays and twisted myself up into a pretzel to attempt to not get physically hurt, that my partner didn't even care to celebrate the launch of my 3rd book. We had just watched the movie he wanted to watch: Free Guy. But, it was never going to be enough from me and I accepted it as the last piece of my heart shattered as he just shrugged off my accomplishment.
