This week I read an article about living in the present and I can honestly that it capture my attention. One of the things it asks was “are you living in the present?” and I got to say I have no answer to such a simple question. So this week, ask yourself the same question and try to really reflect on it. Today’s post is about present moments. Hope you enjoy it.
Future Carrer
Lately, I’ve struggling to make a decision about an actual career. As the semester comes to an end, I really have to think about the next step, and I can’t just keep take classes that are not going towards my degree. Ever I was a little girl I’ve knew that I wanted to be a nurse, and that was the plan until I started working as a counselor.
I begin to take an interest in teaching kids, and it brings a lot of joy, but it started confusing me in so many ways. Throughout high school, I did everything that involve being a nurse, and I love each part of the medical field. It guarantees a job in the future, and I know I’m going to love it, but I love teaching as well. The thing with teaching is there’s no absolute guarantee of a job when you graduate, and it’s not a risk I’m willing to take. I know for both path, it’s not going to be easy, and failure is not an opinion. So, now how I do choose between my dream career and a career I just let in love with? Maybe I’ll just do both.
Something about letting go
How do you know when to let go? How do you know when you’re actually ready to let go? Is there a sign that you get, or a talk you have with yourself? At that moment do you listen to your heart or your mind? I never understood how people are so quick to walk away, like how do you walk from years of history and chemistry. When did you tell yourself that this person wasn’t worth fighting for anymore? I’ve always told myself that “we don’t give up on the people that we love”, but lately I came to the conclusion that, giving up and walking away is sometimes the best we can do for ourselves. At that moment, we don’t listen to our heart, or our mind, we listen to our soul. We have to find the pain, the tears, and then ask ourselves, is this what I deserve? Do I love myself more than that person? Is the situation slowly taking the light inside of you, is it slowly killing your happiness and if you answer yes, that’s when, that's when you should away Because no one deserve to be strip off their happiness, and their light. Love may be a lot of things, but it’s not everything.
What now?
Right, I am thinking about a way to end this week post, and nothing really come to mind no surprise there. Weeks after weeks I struggle on what I should write and picture I should include, but this it was a little different, the pictures was an easy choice, the words, on the other hand, was personal, and they came from me, not responses to question, but from me, and my thought. As I end this week post, I have a few thing to say, a few advice to give. Number one, stop try trying to survive and start living. Number two, breathe and actually breath, and not just to survive but to feel. Number three, be who you truly are because you are beautiful; more than you can ever know.
When I stop, I notice
When I stop
I notice how green the trees are
How lovely the birds sing
How soft the wind blew
How beautiful nature really is
When I stop, I notice
That a smile can bring you warmth
That love is everywhere
Hugs can keep you safe
And hope keeps us going
When I stop I notice
How chaotic it really is
How corrupt we really are
We are beyond lost souls
We currently blind
When I stop, I notice
That we are no longer searching for monsters
Because we have become them
We longer fear
Because we have become the fears
When I stop I notice
That the world is nothing but a dark paradise
Filled with nothing but beautiful beast
When I stop I notice
I see the beauty behind the beast
And beast behind the beauty
When I stop, I notice
The blinded truth
Douney,
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, although you struggle to come up with what to write, as soon as just let go and write... there's beauty. It's natural.
I really enjoyed your thoughts on post - and really like how you end the post - with some coaching thoughts for yourself. Your speaking advice here, and it sounds like you're giving it and receiving it at the same time.
Your poem this week is very cool. Take a second look, as there are some typos, but you have some very poignant and fun lines in here:
...A dark paradise filled with beautiful beasts. (what a clever concept - beautiful language).
Awesome design. Great work.
