Being Strong Means Taking a Risk

There definitely needs to be more positivity and kind-heartedness needed in the world. An attitude shift would help deal with the increased pressures I find with people. I have issues now with trusting others thanks to my own past traumas. The thought of being vulnerable or trying to connect fully with another person just seems so exhausting. It can be difficult when you have felt yourself go in a loop of this your entire life. Breaking free of the things that are holding you back seems like a challenging task. It will take an incredible amount of power to be able to overcome this. The one thing we never truly know as the amount of power that we have within ourselves. The amount we can give to try and fix any situation and reflect on the situations the ended badly. Going through the experiences was tough enough and now reflecting on everything it is easier to see how we could have made things better and what happened. The future will be better because of all this knowledge and experience I have gained throughout life. No matter the traumas, issues, baggage, it has built me into the person that I am. Sometimes we fall out of favor or things happen to the people around us and that is ok. Everyone is dealing with their own pain and must do the best they can for themselves. This is a time when I am seeing less empathy, and it is making me think this is the time when empathy is the thing people need the most. Noone knows what will happen in the future, so we must do the best for us today. Whatever will make your life better, I would do immediately. Making this post will make my life and others lives better so I know it is the right thing to do. Trusting myself has even been challenging at times. We need and rely on ourselves, so we need to pay attention to what is best for us. I wanted to be around people that I had grown attached to. At this time, I did not respect myself enough and this became a toxic attachment. I had never seen it at the time but when I looked at a certain point thing were not working anymore. That is one of the things that happens, I noticed. When things stopped working, I reflected on everything to see if it was something I had caused. Sometimes we grow apart and change into different people as we go on and that is ok. We have a duty to ourselves and our loved ones to do the best things we can for them. This is why it can be the hardest to leave. We cannot control or bend others to what we want them to be or for them to give us what we want. These changes can be easy or tough depending on the person. For me, I always like things to stay the same and when change happens, I would fight. You cannot and should not stop yourself from growing, so the changes will have to happen.
