Life is MESSY.
thats it. thats the end of this blog.
just kidding… theres more, thankfully. somehow I have managed to scrounge up more words for you, my friends.
but first and foremost. LIFE IS MESSY. and life will not always make sense. I think we find ourselves thinking this very often. Maybe not during the good times… when things are going great… but mostly during the lowest of lows. When things are just… HARD. life. loss. friendships. sickness, death, family. anything. But isn’t it true that when we are in our lowest of lows… THAT is when we grow the most. which brings me to the main point of this blog.
10 Truths to lift you up in difficult times –
these have helped me immensely over the last few months… when my head goes to that dark, dark place of mental health that no one really ever wants to even talk about.
– how silly – that through INSTAGRAM and TIK TOK videos… posts and audios – I have been able to scroll through these social media platforms over the last few months and these posts… these audios- have helped me to push through the lowest of low mental moments in my life. the moments where I find myself allowing the THINGS people say to me or about me – I let those things take me to such a dark place mentally… that I have to stop and take a deep breathe and remember that MY kids need their mama. My family needs me. How could I be so selfish? How could I allow my circumstances and people bring me to such a low place mentally. These people that I loved so much, HOW could I allow them to say things to the point that Im questioning if it would just be better if I wasn’t here.
-It sounds to me like every one would just be better off without me on this earth –
It is so hard to admit this and write this down… especially in a blog. but its the real, raw truth. there have been only a few moments for me where I found myself on the shower floor or on floor in the closet, in the dark, sobbing and praying and telling myself to keep it together. But let me be the first to say, those moments are real. those moments are scary. they happen.
wether it happens more often than you’d like to admit.. or whether it happens here and there throughout your life and you scare the shit out of yourself…
these moments HAPPEN for some people. They are real. they are scary. so let me just start with…
“I don’t think people realize how much strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark place mentally…
If you’ve done that today – or any other day… Im proud of you.”
Over the last few months, I have saved so many tik toks, reels, and audios – and in those low moments for me, I have been able to come back to my ‘saved’ section on these social media apps and flip back through them. listening deeply and taking all of the uplifting words straight to the heart and mind.
I feel better instantly.
So I wanted to sit down and write some of those sayings and quotes. for you, whoever is reading this. so you can refer back to these and lift yourself up when you need it most. You never know who it might help in those very dark and hard moments in life.
Save them, share them and never forget the truths that comes with each and every statement.
You are worthy of a beautiful life. You are valuable. You were created with a purpose and for a purpose. Your very own personal story. All of the ups and downs. everything you have been through in your life was for a purpose. To mold you into the person you are meant to be. for you to learn and grow and be able to share you story with other people who need to hear it.
no matter what season you are in. no matter what circumstances come your way, keep pushing. Find your purpose.
You are loved and I’m SO glad you are here.

Wherever God has you in this season.
Trust Him.
