Feeling Lost

Losing yourself

Ever feel lost in the world? Feel left out in all that you are invited to do? She felt that way, alone even when the company was around. We can get lost in our thoughts every now and again but are we able to pull our self out? She managed to slowly be able to pull herself out of the hole she fell in. The year didn’t go as planned but does it ever? She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and her oldest became a big brother. With all that’s going on, shouldn’t she be happy? This wasn’t how she planned it, this wasn’t supposed to happen to her. Then she woke up from the dream, she had been living in the fantasy in the back of her head.

She began to lose her way, lose the path that was laid out ahead of her. Began to get confused and accepted things for the way they are and were going. When she should have been sticking to a routine and what was best for her family. Waking up slowly now, so what comes next? The journey has begun and everyone either can jump on the train or jump off in the meantime. A new year, a new her has emerged. No one thought they would see this side of her. A fierce, independent, outgoing, and hardworking woman. She is following a path that she was meant to be on, the path of independence filled with thanks and praise. This road will be long, hard, at times confusing but it will make her stronger than before. She is no longer lost, she has been found. Following in her own footsteps. Letting herself be guided on this fresh new journey. Thoughts running through her mind, where does this road go from here? It can only bring success and go up from here is the thought running through her mind as a new day begins. Filling each day with inspiration and a positive mind set. Knowing she is setting an example for her two little ones. Have you ever been down? Felt like nothing could brighten your spirits? Just know that you are not alone. We are all facing trails that we can’t understand or even figure out how to get past.

Overall, we should strive to do the best that we can. Know that we aren’t alone, and anything can be overcome. Be an inspiration to the next when you can because you never know what another person is going through. It is easy to lose who you are in a quick second, but it is just as easy to find your path once again. Don’t forget who you are by pleasing others. Stay true to who you are. Be who you are. Inspire others when you can. This world needs to build each other up and love one another. We can only bring change and peace when we are at peace and love ourselves. Don’t let yourself get lost as she did. Continue your journey. Empower each other as you go along.

You are worth more than you know. You are stronger than anyone believes you to be. Never let anyone doubt your decisions, unless they are experiencing it with you they have no right to judge. You can lose yourself when you are more pleasing to others and ignore your own needs. Never let others become a bigger priority over yourself. When she was lost that seemed to be an issue. Always putting others first before herself, leaving her own needs till the last minute, or never fulfilling them. Lesson learned and learned the hard way. Experience teaches us that we can’t always please everyone. We need to do self-care and attend to our needs first. Being lost the lead to invisibility and when she realized that her needs weren’t being met all hell broke loose. Don’t let that happen to you. Don’t let your soul get lost in things you can’t control. We might not be able to control everything around us but we sure can try.

Overall, we should be encouraging one another on our journeys. Remember that we all aren’t on the same path or journey and will face challenges that others have either faced before or haven’t faced at all. Instead of losing who we are, we should be focused on growing into who we are. Be an inspiration to your children and generations to come. Stay true to yourself. Believe what you feel is right. Speak up and have that voice that can be heard. When you stop doing those things you begin to fade and eventually you become lost. Don’t get lost in the dark, come back to the light.

She has been pulled from that darkness. She is now no longer lost in the world she was once walking in without light. She is shining brighter than before. Turning into the person she should have always been before she lost her long ago.
