I am who I want to be when I grow up

Keywords: Community , Family

I want to be kind, caring of others, not entirely focused on myself. I want to be a person who knows Jesus and the scriptures, who has a desire to lead others in their discovery of Him. I want to be a person who cares about the environment, and politics, and upcycled furniture, and flowers in the garden, who enjoys the world God created. I want to be a person who is generous with his time, knowing that all that we have is a stewardship and not owned by us.

I want to be healthy and strong and not give even the smallest of fucks about what people think

I always say I don’t care what people think of me so why am I so concerned with my weight and how I look. But I read something today about the shame that women feel about their bodies, despite the absolute fucking slog they go through every day of their lives. It made me think – I’m probably right when I say I don’t really care what other people think but maybe I care what I think and maybe that is shame. Do I feel ashamed because I’m “fatter” than most people around me? Do I feel ashamed because my stomach that was home to two beautiful babies for 9 months (absolutely fucking huge babies might I add) isn’t flat? I mean it isn’t even round, I don’t know what shape it is! Do I feel ashamed that I weigh more than my partner? Do I feel ashamed when I eat something “bad”?

All I want, all I need, is for people to stop being so dreadfully “helpful”

If you are reading this, offer a hug, “I’m hoping/ praying for you”, any seemingly idle non-help you can think of. But we recommending to a musician that “Maybe they should try accounting” when they have historically been a professional musician is cruel and insensitive. NEVER do that to me. I will hate you as much as I can. I DO hate my mom as much as I can.

I want to fall in love once again and this time, maybe Forever

When I was down with fever, I always thought, “What if I died alone in an apartment?” My soul kept screaming that, “You would die after hearing those magical words, never lose hope.” I want to trust my heart even though it was sedated that night. I want to be someone’s forever in this world full of “Maybe.” Love as magical as it sounds, can be my cause of loneliness. Love as joyful as it sounds, might break my strength. Maybe someday, someone would save my drowning soul. Maybe I get to hear my share of “I love you.” At the end of my story, there will always be a “Maybe.”

They actually listened to me and paid attention, and they said thank you

Care and feeding? Just remember we are people too, we work to pay our bills, just like you do, so yeah, we do deserve to be paid. And, like you, we don’t appreciate being put down, talked down to or even berated. Ninety nine percent of the time, agents don’t deserve that. Yep, there are some bad ones out there, and they’re the ones who get us all downgraded in peoples’ minds. Most of us, the vast majority, actually want to serve you well.

I want to think that if you feel like you are the best version of yourself, you will have more to give others and contribute to the world

Keywords: {0}

When we feel good about ourselves, we do better, kinder things for ourselves and for others, and we naturally let the good things in our lives grow. And this is the opposite of when we feel bad. We become more selfish and self absorbed, and mostly lack the energy to give to other people or to things or causes we care about.
