Stress About Life

I want to live my life without stress and worries, I don't need to be rich or famous, I just want to be happy I'm perfect in my imperfections happy in my pain, strong in my weakness and beautiful in my own way because I'm me. What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can life is for my own to live my own way, I will never apologize for who I am. I've worked too hard on my happiness, to be affected by people and things that don't understand the energy and time I've put into myself I hate crying in front of people so if I have ever cried in front of you, yes it dose kinda mean you're important but mostly it means that I will regret forever

Suicidal Thoughts

It felt like it was all too much having suicidal thoughts and finding a way back only now do I realize how much he must have been suffering you eventually learn to trust no one. Being alone sucks but at least you don't have to worry about being let down or hurt again.... you think suicide is cowardly I'll tell you wants cowardly. Hurting someone so much that they want to end their lives sometimes.... it's okay to cry it's okay to be a little upset. Staying positive Dosen't mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days you know that there are better ones coming. I'm no therapist: I will listen, I will care No. You aren't alone. Yes. We all feel this way sometimes No. You won't always feel like this Yes. The world is a better place with you in it

Adoption Affects Your Emotions

Being adopted is like being a squared peg trying to fit into a round hole. You just don't fit so after a while you stop trying adoption is a trauma that happens to a child. The child is torn from a mother, placed in the arms of strangers and is left with questions, doubts, fears, and anxiety with no way to verbalize, Express, mourn, or contextualize those feelings. It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage than a birth: two ( or more ) Individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns and genetic history, coming together with love, hope, , commitment for a joint future you become a family not because you share the same genes but because you share love for each other. Finding my birth family was the single most important moment of my entire life, it was ( As ) if I'd been holding my breath my entire life and for the first time I could let it out. Being adopted means you didn't have any say and everyone expects you to be someone you are not you never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you. Never assume that because a child was adopted that their life is as wonderful as adoption is painted out to be. Many adoptees are grieving the loss of their mother and family. Those feelings don't always go away because a child was adopted. Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child it was about bearing witness its life a child born to another woman calls me mommy. The magnitude of that tragedy and the depth of that privilege are not lost on me tears are words too painful for a broken heart to speak

Gods Prayers

More than ever I find myself in the hands of God. This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth. But now there is a difference; the initiative is entirely with God.
