LOCKDOWN?! AGAIN?! Anyone else feel like they’re on house arrest? I understand why we are going into a lockdown, don’t get it twisted but being in lockdown is so difficult. During the first lockdown I felt alone with my demons. Living alone with no one to pull you out of your spiral can be one of the hardest things you can go through. As I…
Grief.
2020 was one of the hardest years for me emotionally, which is why you guys didn’t hear from me since April. In the first lockdown I lost my Grandad (Dad’s Dad), was one of the worst pains I’ve ever felt. It completely threw me off course, I felt so upset and angry that I did anything to distract me from reality, I mean I bought…
Waiting.
I find that waiting on God’s timing for a relationship is the hardest thing I have ever done but the thing is that regardless of the pain and anguish I feel waiting, I just know that I would rather have God’s best for my life than settle for second best.
Vulnerability.
Esssh this word…it used to give me shivers, like who wants to be vulnerable right? Announcing this blog was probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in a while because it’s letting you lovely people into my personal thoughts and feelings…sharing my deepest, darkest moments. Showing you a side of me that even some of my closest people haven’t seen. But what…
Situationship.
Do you feel stuck? Irritated? Frustrated? Alone? Mehh? You might have settled for something less than God’s best. At the beginning of the year I was feeling all of those things and more. I didn’t understand God’s purpose for my life and in part I still don’t. I know what God wants me to do now (I think) but I’m still in a frustrating season….
Void.
One thing I have always struggled with is loving myself. It’s not easy in this society that feeds you with what the media portrays as ‘beautiful’ to which you then constantly find yourself comparing yourself against. How often do you go on social media and see all these amazing posts, of beautiful people, expensive lifestyles and experiences, before and after pictures of people’s ‘glow ups’…
Purpose.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is…
Disclaimer.
Firstly, I am far from perfect…but I’m starting to think that thats the point. We aren’t supposed to strive for perfection because otherwise we would all be the same. Our journey’s are different and that’s where the beauty of life lies, the highs and the lows, the struggles and the triumphs. Nowadays it almost feels like there is no room for error, no room for…
