Needed Words

They cant beat you unless you quit.😷

Just keep swimming.

The only alternative is drowning and that’s simply not an option for me, no matter how tired my arms get.

It’ll pass, it was a very tough time, I sunk very low, healing does that to you I guess.

Out the other side now and life is good again 🌸✨

Water the flowers and they’ll grow 🌱🪴🌷

Here's what I've found... no matter what today brings, there is always tomorrow, or next week, etc., and believe it or not, with the determination to survive, that next (day/week/month) can and will be better than you ever imagined.

For me it's always been so... no matter the storm, I made my way through it and came out whole, smiling and while my new life wasn't what I'd planned or expected, I made it good, even better than my previous life.

It's all on you, and that is what you want. Build that tomorrow for you.

Remember when Britney shaved her head? At the time I thought it was a stupid idea but when I got there myself I completely understood it. I didn’t do that btw but the urge was real.

Mine was from heartbreak so did get rid of any reminders of him/us. Photos, gifts, clothing - his and even my own. I renovated my home. I changed as much as I could to trick myself into believing I was making more progress than I actually was.

Depending on what my beef is, usually 'fvck it' does it for me.

Tough times never last, but Tough People do !

I felt I could only survive by re-inventing myself. Ideals went out the window. I still loved her but could never have her, so within reason any way I could experience pleasure I pursued. Some of what I did was crazy and dangerous and only months before, I would never have considered.

Just keep away from the dust and debris as I am the one being smuggled through time to morrow. Don't prevent anything from falling as I need nothing of today, as tomorrow is to gift me an entirely new life.

What am I doing wrong? What other options do I have? There is a way out of this mess if I focus on solutions rather than defeat.

it depends on the source, I suppose. it's ranged from Kahlil Gibran to Alan Moore.

"It doesn't matter."
"I don't care."

Everyday. Multiple times .

God help me, give me strength.

This too shall pass

Luckily I've got my cat to keep me going. She is my whole world

I have to survive for my daughter
