I May Bend But...

I AM STRONG
I AM A LOVER

I AM A NURTURER
I AM A FIGHTER

I AM LIFE
I AM LOVE

I FALL SHORT AT TIMES
I MAKE MISTAKES

I WILL FAIL AT TIMES
I WILL NOT QUIT

I WILL BEND BUT...
I WILL NOT BREAK!

I want to give up...

I am mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausted. Quitting seems like a viable option. The only thing that's keeping me going is my faith in God and his promises to me, but at what point is that not enough? It seems that no matter how hard I fight to get up something keeps knocking me down. It's so discouraging and overwhelming. I'm emotionally numb because I know if I allowed myself to feel I would be an emotional mess, but how long can I go on like this? I try to tell myself life is hard and things could be worse because I know they could, but I'm tired of being stagnant. No matter what I do I just can't seem to catch a break. I feel like I need a do over, but that's not possible. I have to play the hand I was dealt. I know that I if I keep showing up everyday eventually the day will come when all of this will be a distant memory, but I pray that day comes sooner than later because I feel like giving up!

Absolutely not at my own hands! The idea of me taking myself from them because "life is too hard" is selfish and the unconditional love I have for my children is selfless , so something wasn't adding up. I needed t...

Keep on living

A dream deferred does not mean that you are now living a nightmare or are unable to live that dream in the future; it means that you are wise enough to recognize that now isn't the right time. It means that you are willing to give yourself the time you need to develop into the person you dream of becoming. It means that you are trusting God enough to know that his time is always the right time. Simply put, it means that you're willing to go through something to get somewhere!!! Right now I'm living life as a wife, mother, granddaughter, and nurse who can't wait to go back to school to further my nursing career, but that dream is deferred for a few valid reasons and I'm okay with that. Yes, it occasionally bothers me when I see other people adding more letters behind their name; but I use those feelings as motivation that my dream is still possible and will happen one day. I see so many people struggling to enjoy life because they're not happy with their curren...
