This week has been rough

This whole ‘Let Them’ is getting out of hand.

Lost a major contract this week. Will cut our income more than 50%.

But.

We got here without it.

Granted. We got dumb ass stupid not knowing what we were getting ourselves in.

But man , did we learn ALLLLOT ALLLLOT ALLLLOT ❣️❣️❣️❣️

As I’ve been spiraling for days , barely doing the minimum, I have been keeping prayer, meditation, and the constant reminding my own brain that in life , these things do. Not. Matter. In life , I have learned about all of things that matter most in this life. Took a morning to go see dad. Felt good. Then the car broke down and now I am stranded at home.

But. The parts for repair are only $500 , not $1000 , so there’s that.

AND

Just in time as I am typing this , The Spirit #remindsme that we #gotHere #without it -

#thatsright #wow #StopWorrying #StopSuffering

It’s weird - it’s like when you think that you deserve to suffer because of the things that you’ve done - it’s like you find reasons to make yourself suffer. And you almost like it.

But. I’ve been here before. I know exactly where it leads.

So.

#LetsTry #SomethingDifferent and #StopTheInsanity

#Look at #WhatYouHave #blessing after #wonderfulblessing

#authentic relationships

#honesty and most of all #love

Knowing where it comes from. Knowing how to get it. Knowing how to take it in. Knowing that it - wait #ScratchThat - #IhaveLearned #EvenMore through #AllOfThis that #HeLives #HeIsWithMe #NotAgainstMe #HisEyeIsOnTheSparrow

I came here to rant and whine and cry.

And #IamReminded

#ItsOkay #IamOkay #YouOkayToo #LetsGo

11 years a #home - a week to turn it back into a house. On the last of it now, spent Christmas Day cleaning walls and ceilings and cleaning carpet. I’m exhausted, everything has been twice as hard and twice as expensive due to the time of year (fuck you, #gougers ), and I won’t hear from a real estate about my applications for at least a week. This has been a lonely journey, and a fucken hard slog. If it wasn’t for Jaco Bassman and a neighbourhood acquaintance, precious Jacki, I would have given up and let the real estate win. NEVER let people leave stuff at your place without a written agreement on length of stay and what you can do with the stuff if the people disappear. I have heard EVERY sob story under the Sun and it’s always been those same people that have caused me grief, cost me money and ripped me off. I have learned that some people are just #takers, although they wear the mask of the self-sufficient. And #ihavelearned that people will #promise you anything until they get what they want, then they will change the terms to suit themselves. I have learned #boundaries and how to stick to them. I have learned #idontcare if people like me. I have learned to #sayno and mean it (because many people see ‘no’ as an opportunity to wheedle), and I have learned that I NEVER want to be #trapped anywhere ever again. Not #financially not #geographically, not #contractually. I walk away tomorrow and this is all #gone .

I have learned

6+3=9 but so does 5+4,

the way you do things is not always the only way to do them, so respect others way of thinking.

She used to think love was a flashlight. Some kind of perfectly formed beacon of light. The kind that, when it found her, would make everything right. In her heart, she'd always believed in that kind of love. The fairytale kind. The kind that would rescue her from her past and want every part of her future. She'd wanted to believe in that kind of love. The kind that led her through the darkness. Her darkness. Maybe she looked a little too hard and a little too long for that kind of love, though. The saving kind. The kind that fit neatly into a storybook with a 'once upon a time' and a 'happily ever after.' Well, that was her mistake. Love was never a flashlight. Love doesn't cut a path of light neatly though the darkness and connect only two hearts. No. Love is a flame, darling. It's a flame that starts from one tiny spark. And it grows. And it grows. And it grows. It can't be contained. It can't be directed. It just is. From a flame to a wildfire. Love is one of those things that changes everything. God, especially the hearts that grew it. Yes. After love has been there, darling, nothing is ever the same again. No. Love is most definitely not a flashlight. It's the untapped power and impending fury and beautiful chaos and yes, somewhat indescribable beauty, of the potential in just one little flame. That's what love is. 💛 // March 2017 Theme: No matter what, #ihavelearned ------------------------------------------- #liveinthedetails #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetryisnotdead #poetsofinstagram #writersofig #writing #writer #wordporn #typewriter #typewritten #depressed #depressedquotes #wordswithkings #typewriter #typewriterpoetry #wordswithqueen #spilledink #typewriterseries #wordsofwisdom #soul #laughter #wordswithqueens

I’ve Learned...

Some of the things I have learned on my journey through life...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you...all you can do is be someone who can be loved...the rest is up to them.  

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back. 

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. 

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.  

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.  

I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important, it's what they do about it.  

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words...it may be the last time you see them.  

I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.  

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. 

I've learned that learning to forgive takes practice.  

I've learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.  

I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.  

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.  

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.  

I've learned that your family won't always be there for you, it may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you, and love you, and teach you to trust people again...families aren't biological.  

I've learned that no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that.  

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.  

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.  

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing, and see something totally different. 

I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.  

I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours, by people who don't even know you.  

I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.  

I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. 

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.  

I've learned that although the word "love" can have many different meanings, it loses value when overly used.  

I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice, and not hurting people's feelings, and standing up for what you believe.

T.H.I.S. I.S. M.E. La obscuridad no es extraña para mi.... He aprendido a avergonzarse de mis cicatrices.... No dejare que nos hagan daño... Hay un lugar para nosotros.... Estamos derribando barricadas... Dirigiendonos al Sol... Somos guerreros!! Soy valiente... Tengo marcas.... Soy quien tengo que ser... Este soy yo!!.... #thisisme #song #inspired #musicofmovie #thedarknessisnotstrange #ihavelearned #toembarrrass #thereisaplace #wearetearingdown #barricades #goingtothesun #picsart #photoedit #mirrors https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp3Rf2rDYOF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1zewqh5q0zu3

I am humble; I have learned. I keep m y personal life personal; I have learned. As always I put GOD first in my life; I have learned. Giving all glory to HIM (UNIVERSE); I have learned. I pray for everything that is given to me and everything is given to me comes from HIM; I have learned.🤐#nobragging #Facts#Nohating#IHAVELEARNED 💋❤ +HONEY❤ (at JBK Promotions) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnVkrv_FBMu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cppqs7zd6mjm

Life is just a big staring contest because there are moments that we lose in the blink of an eye, some try to stare but end up wasting time, some blink and lose that moment it just comes to show that life isn't a fair game

[claysorrick7-blog]

If your not in my life there is a very good reason. Some think they let me go, but the reality is I let them go. I will not look back, nor go back to garbage. #monday #fact #life #ihavelearned #manipulators #women #men (at Georgia)

I think some people still judge because what I did in the past. Don't look so hard at my past. I don't live there anymore. Give me a chance. #past #dontjudge #dontregret #Iwasyoung #Imademistake #but #ihavelearned #mypicture #flower #pink #quotes

It's funny, I think. We spend our whole lives trying to see things-- drinking in the landscapes and interactions and travels of our lifetimes-- and yet we don't really "get it." Until we do. Life opens our eyes along the way-- and teaches us how to see, doesn't it? I mean, really see. When we are young, we are thankful for what we want. And often, we rebel against the rest. When we get to go on that great vacation. When we meet that special heart. When we get those "things" we wanted for our birthday. We focus on destinations-- and never the journey. But time changes that. There comes a point in all our lives where we are suddenly thankful-- most thankful-- for the constants in our lives. Things fade away, and we realize finally, that they are just things. We realize how lucky we are to be healthy. And we understand what an amazing part of life it is to have somewhere to go, something to hope for, and someone to love. It gets down to those basics-- the things that have always been there. We start to understand what a beautiful thing it is to have old friends. People who have walked with us, carried us, loved us through all the different versions of ourselves we've been. And I think, mostly, that's it. What we start to feel lucky for the things we've always had but suddenly realize are perishable. They are not constants. Not forevers. The people who we call every morning? They might not always be there. The phone call we ignore? It won't always ring. And that's the most beautiful part about life. It teaches us-- opens our eyes. Lets us be reminded that all of its best things are not forever. So love them like crazy while you have them, darling. They make you damn lucky. Happy beautiful sunny Saturday. 💛// March 2017 Theme: No matter what, #ihavelearned ------------------------------------------- #liveinthedetails #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetryisnotdead #poetsofinstagram #writersofig #writing #writer #wordporn #typewriter #typewritten #depressed #depressedquotes #wordswithkings #typewriter #typewriterpoetry #wordswithqueen #spilledink #typewriterseries #wordsofwisdom #soul #laughter #wordswithqueens

She was a light. A sweet, happy soul who still believed in the magic of the world. The potential. She believed in him and them and their future. She believed in who he could be-- who we wanted to be-- who he almost was. She was one of those rare hearts that somehow loved you just as you are-- and yet made you want to be everything you're not. She was a once in a lifetime. A "you're going to wait your whole life for this." But he couldn't see it. Didn't see it. His heart wasn't open. And his eyes weren't ready. They would be, one day. He would look for that kind of love again-- for her again. Because he would finally learn that a heart like that ruins you. In the absolute best way possible. He would see it one day-- but much, much too late. He would look for her. Look towards her light. And for the first time, he would see that she was his rainbow. The color in his world. But by then, she would be gone. And he would think of her often. Wondering how he missed it-- and if one day, he'd ever find her again. But her? She would be off. Happy. Dancing through the universe. Lighting up the stars in someone else's sky. 💛 // March 2017 Theme: No matter what, #ihavelearned ------------------------------------------- #liveinthedetails #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetryisnotdead #poetsofinstagram #writersofig #writing #writer #wordporn #typewriter #typewritten #depressed #depressedquotes #wordswithkings #typewriter #typewriterpoetry #wordswithqueen #spilledink #typewriterseries #wordsofwisdom #soul #laughter #wordswithqueens
