At this moment in my life, I can say that I am Happy with who I am and grateful for the things I been through. The things that are blossoming the most for me right now is my RIGHT NOW! And I know that may seem generic to you, but if you could see my life a few months ago then you would understand. I’m just happy to be here and at a place where I can see myself rising, so the growth I have been experiencing. And when I say growth I mean spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. The continuous growth that is happening in my life right now is blooming. Because no matter what obstacles or adversity I am faced with or have to deal with daily I am still able to get up each day and put one foot in front of the other one and keep pushing forward. By all means I don’t have it all together, but I am a working progress. Everyday I get up and smile, because somebody today didn’t have a chance to. Take a moment right now and inhale and exhale. I still have breath in my body, and you obviously do to because you’re reading this.
Most people dwell and want sympathy for things they go through when they’re down, and they also want to be recognized and shine when they’re up. Most of the time they want someone to agree with them, and it’s a hard pill for them to shallow when you don’t, but it’s good to give people the raw truth and tell them exactly how it is, because if not this world will swallow you whole. I could give you a sample of things I am going through or the challenges I face everyday just to give you a glimpse of my life. I’m divorced, and boy how I don’t look like what I been through. I lost a job recently, but not long ago I started a new one with better pay. My customize 1985 cutlass supreme just was caught on fire from something internal and OMG she was my baby girl, BUT my kids and I was able to make it out without a scratch or a hair missing and I am still able to get from A to B and even Z if I wanted to, I AM BLESSED. My kids grow out of clothes daily, we just moved into a new place, I don’t feel like I have the support and comfort that I’ve had all my life because my parents are deceased, there is just not enough time in the day, and I can go on and on and complain about problems and things I go through in my life that is inevitable to happen, but all in all I am thankful and grateful for my life. For the Right Now and for my growth. And the acceptance of the things I been through, that don’t keep me down. I actually appreciate the things that happen in my life good or bad because no matter what my life is blossoming, because everything I been through made me who I am, and I wouldn’t change not a thing. You never would have known anything about what I am going through if I didn’t tell you, because you would have been on the outside looking in and somehow, I make it look easy without my own strength. I have nothing to complain about. You know I can sit and complain about everything, and it will drain all my energy. I just feel no matter what I go through I never let it break me, even when I fall, I make sure to get myself right back up and keep moving. I can’t cry over spilled milk. Finding the good in something in every single day is what is blossoming in my life. Even in the rain, they say it pours, but somehow my light weathers the storm.
It took me a long time to get to this place in my life and I am grateful for the journey. I don’t want life to pass me by, so being that I am able to live no matter what I have to go through to keep thriving I am all for the movement just as long as I am not staying still. It’s my growth. I am not consumed to my circumstances, my past, my family ties, or anything that is hindering my continuous growth. It’s all a part of who I am, but I am on a mission, and it has nothing to do with anybody else. This growth spree doesn’t have to do with what I don’t have, what somebody else has, or what going on in the world, it’s a simply a self-reflection journey and I can see it blooming. I feel as long as I get ME together then everything else will be together around me and I’m ok with just that.
Sincerely, From an overcomer.
