Short Post!

Happy late St. Swithin's Day to y'all! It was Yesterday, and I honestly only know about it from the novel One Day, which is a great read I might add, that I highly recommend! Apparently legend says if it rains on Swithin's grave, something will happen! Vague I know, but still... Anyways, today's post will be a short one due to the fact I'm away at a function and can't stay for very long! I just recently surpassed 80 page views (puny I know) and I would absolutely LOVE it if y'all would SHARE, SHARE, and SHARE some more with your friends, family, and co-workers, so that I have more readers and more reasons to keep posting! I'm off for now, thanks! :)

Y'all Are Fantastic.

Self image is such a huge problem these days. Honestly I know I had a terribly low amount of self-esteem for the longest time and all of a sudden with the help of a lovely group of people, I built up a regime of esteem, I guess you could say. I learned to stand up for myself and those I cared about in a respectful way and became my own person more so than before. Now I do all I can to help everyone around me. I know a lot of people could say I could never offer anything but sympathy, but I think I can do more. I've always been really understanding and I have
become the basis of a support system for a large amount of people. I'm an extremely accepting person and I take pride in being able to help and give an unbiased opinion. If any of you readers ever need a metaphorical shoulder, I am here. Maybe your questions and stories could help someone else in your same position, so send them in and I will read them all and possibly post them if you wish. You are all amazing. I mean it!

Insight!

A lot has happened within the past 9 months. I have had different interactions with some people, who really opened my eyes to how odd and even slightly cruel the world can be. A relationship I had went through severe turmoil seeing as the other person was apparently emotionally unstable. I now know to really stand up for myself, and not accept guilt or blame when it isn't mine to accept. This impacted not only my personality, but how I approach things. I'm more confident in general, yet cautious of what I say and how those words could be taken. This being said, I don't regret even the nastiest of things that were said to me, for they made me stronger. I am a much more solid person. I realized that it's true that the meanest people are the most insecure. It's not an excuse, but it helps to understand why they can't rightly stop the habit. I don't talk to that person anymore if I can help it, only because I drew a line and they insisted on stomping across it. All I can say, is that I have learned that it's important to pray for those who persecute me, and to stand my ground. I advise y'all to do it too! Send in your stories if you want, I'll read them, and if you request I might even post them!
