Finding Peace
How do we find inner peace? What does it look like? What do we do to get there? My search for inner peace has been a long journey, and it's still going. My journey of life has been hard, sad, angry, depressed, happy, and exciting. But many experience these feelings and different situations. What experiences have you had that make you feel stressed, anxious, depressed, etc.? How did you deal with them? Did you push people away just because you didn't want to trust someone with helping you? The fear that drives our world is so strong, why do we live in fear of things? We need to be standing up for ourselves, for our families, our loved ones. We need to be strong, empowered, educated. We deserve to make our conditions better for us, and better for everyone around us. We deserve to live the best lives that we possibly can, and that can start with you! We can do something about making our world a better place if we try.

Addiction
Does anyone know of someone who is addicted to something? Of course you do, everyone has some type of addiction, whether it's drugs, technology, working, caffeine, etc. Well, I grew up in a family of alcoholics. So, this is for them, but more specifically my mother.

It's Okay to Feel the Way You Do
When you're feeling angry, sad, lonely, depressed, anxious, just know that it is totally okay for you to feel that way. Not one person on this Earth get's to tell you how to feel or should make you feel bad for the way that you feel. Have you ever had a family member, significant other or even a friend try to tell you, "oh you're fine, just get over it"? Well, I have and at first I believed them, at first I was like, yea I'm good, I'll just move on. But, I wasn't good, I wasn't fine, I was struggling every single day. I just didn't know how to tell the people around me that I loved that I was feeling suicidal. Nobody knew. Until the very day I was going to take my life, my mom finally opened her eyes and saw what was happening. She took me to a counselor the same day and she and the counselor literally saved my life. I wouldn't be here today if God or something hadn't gotten a hold of my mom and said, "Look, your daughter is struggling and she needs help now! Even though down the road I have had those thoughts and feelings again, I was able to pull myself out because of what I had learned, and because of my coping skills. However, when you do have these feelings it's important to accept the feeling and know that it is real. Working through the feelings is also important. Find coping skills that work for you.

When Going Up, Don't Look Down
Why is it when we work toward our dreams and goals, it seems like they are so far away? What can we do to reach those goals and dreams without feeling like we are only taking steps backward? People always tell me: just stay positive and good things will come to you. However, as we all know, that is easier said than done, right? I am hopeful that things will just work themselves out, regardless of how hard I am working. What goals and dreams do you have? Maybe you just don't have the right help in accomplishing them because you haven't looked at all of the angles. I try my best to look at the big picture and figure out what I will need exactly in order to accomplish my goals and dreams, whether they are short term or long term. So, what do you need to accomplish yours? Who will you ask for help? How can you help yourself?
