Bam Pow my Head!

    Lets see, so yesterday I happened to have been involved in a motor accident. As you can tell my car is pretty much totaled... so close to disney I might add, but seriously no one was harmed, and thanks to the lord I was able to walk away. I was pretty sore after I got home that night, and even more so when the aftershocks hit me. I'll be honest, have had a headache on, and off since the accident, but just hope things get better as time goes by.
     Basically I was going through my intersection light (which was green for anyone wanting to know) when someone getting off the interstate (who claims his light was yellow) decided not to hesitate, and hit me going full speed. I was sent flying four lanes over, dodging oncoming traffic. My knees hits the dash pretty hard, and one was even cut, thankfully like I said I was able to walk away from the accident. The other guy was not harmed I was told seeing how I had been sent so far away from him.
    So I'm probably gonna be without wheels for awhile, and to be honest I really don't mind at the moment. I leave for disney next week, and Christmas is right around the corner. So while I am sad about the car, I think it's better to count the blessings.

Letting go for Change

    Ok so lately it feels like it's time to shed the skin so to say. Sometimes we have to let go of things that are holding us back in order to move on to something better in life. Whether it be certain people, bad habits, or even just daily routines. Sometimes we don't see that we're being dragged down by stuff until someone points it out. Ok some of them we do notice ourselves, but I think we choose to overlook it because honestly letting go sometimes can be hard.
    Not in the way where we don't want to let go, but the times where physically or mentally we just can't seem to. When I think about all the things I'm going right now I think back a few years and marvel at how trivial the things I was dealing back then was, and how big a deal I made of them. Now I know in the future ill be looking back and what I'm going through now, and it won't look quite as bad.
    So sometimes letting go, and making room for change can be a good thing. It may not always be the easiest thing for us to do, but most of the time down the road will be proud of what we did. So it looks like in my life I have a few things to shed, and oddly enough its coming up on the new years mark so maybe that will give a little boost to help fuel the steam.

Dealing with Setbacks

       You know at times we can feel like we are on top of the world, that nothing can stand in our way. We know what we want, and how we're going to get it. That things are finally going our way. Then out of nowhere along comes something that knocks us back down to size. In a matter of seconds our reality shifts from one to another. We're left sorta shell shocked to say the least.
    There's always going to be setbacks in life big or small. Don't judge yourself though on the setback, but how you handle them, what you do after them. Thats what you should judge yourself by. There's honestly no real way to handle a setback other than just accepting it and moving on. You could dwell on it, but that won't ever change anything.
    Lastly if you think a setback might be coming on, don't try to fight it. You'll make yourself paranoid trying to debate every choice you make. If it's coming, then it's coming. Setbacks are sadly a part of life they help us grow and learn.

Best version of ourself

    Sometimes it feels like we don't see ourselves as the best versions of us we can be. Sometimes we may not even know what the best version of ourself is. Then we start to wonder if we aren't good enough for the people in our life. The people who we put up higher than we see ourselves. It's easy to see the flaws in ourselves as opposed to what other people actually notice. We look in the mirror, and its like in our eyes all of our flaws are magnified to the point of them being so far from the actual truth of what they honestly are.
    If we don't like ourselves, how can we expect others to like us? Then there are the people we wonder why they even acknowledge us, let alone choose to befriend us. Like what do they see that we don't? I think the fact is that all those flaws we see in ourself for the most part only we see. The people who tend to stick with us see the good that sometimes we don't notice.
    Sometimes its just the same way we are about others when we notice their bad qualities, we choose to overlook them because we see thier good easily outshines the bad in our opinion. So maybe our best version of ourself isn't the one thats perfect. Maybe it's the one with flaws and all. Because thats when were being true to ourselves, and no one who cares about you wouldn't love that.
