Actually sticking to my new years resolutions

I made a lot of doable New Years Resolutions at the turn of this year. Last year sucked, and I was so so soooo determined to get out of that funk. i spent the first three weeks dieting, keeping the apartment clean, saving money/paying off debt, and all that good stuff… and then all hell broke loose in every section of my life. All of it was completely out of my control! Death of a friend/coworker that left me spiraling, car problems, more surprise debt, all the worst things possible. life just absolutely took a harsh left turn and it left me feeling completely hopeless that this year could be a good one if this is how the first month was going. I spent the last two weeks in a pity party for one, thinking to myself “why even try to do better in life?” I started eating junk food again, stopped caring for myself, and essentially allowing myself to slip through the cracks I so carefully began mending just a month prior. Mourning is such a tough thing to go through, and this was the first death of someone whom I interact with on an almost daily basis. i was not okay. i still am not doing good. BUT I realized today that, unfortunately, the only way out is THROUGH. I stopped wondering how am I supposed to get through this pain, and remembered that that is exactly what I am doing. I’m getting through the tough parts of life by existing. There is no quick fix to pain and loss, you must push through, even if your knees get scraped up on the way out. I’ve decided I must pick myself up, dust myself off, and do my absolute fucking best I can this year, regardless of what life puts me through, because I deserve it. So, my first recommendation on this website is to push through this year. take it easy, but don’t let yourself fall through the cracks. You deserve a better life than what you’ve given yourself so far. Try your best to improve on something every day and hopefully there will be a big pay off in the future you’ll be so happy you worked for.

When things fall apart

“Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit and not be squeamish about taking a good look.“ - Pema Chödrön I’ve just lived one of the hardest years of my life. There were many days that I cried or felt numb or found myself praying to an interventionist god I do not believe in. In short, things have sucked. But there are also good days. Days with a lot of laughter with friends, or cuddles from my cats, or some new piece of art that heals me. It’s not all bad, just as it will never be all good.You have to make peace with this fact because there is no other choice. You don’t have to be happy about all of it, but make peace. Experience all that life has to offer and it will transform you. “Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”

#felt

my love and I parted ways a few months ago after our 5th anniversary. has truly been the hardest period of my entire life to slowly pick up the pieces and move on, a process that is nowhere near over even as much as I want it to be. my biggest piece of advice is to surrender to the pain. don’t let yourself be drawn into anger and hatred, just let the crumbling happen. let the tears flow! talk to your friends about it over and over again. sit in silence with the people you love. fall asleep on the couch once in a while. don’t bother with “why” — it’s a useless question, trust me.
