Hey you, are you okay? – LIFE AS A HUMAN

Happiness. A life that is virtually stress free. That’s all I want. That’s pretty much all we want isn’t it? But as we all know, life doesn’t work that way. But, as hard as it is to admit, we have the tools we need to deal with this thing called life. Happiness or anything of the sort does take some effort on our part.

Even though it has been a long time coming, realizations I have brought to light in recent times have me thinking more and more, than I usually do, about the solutions. True, being a victim of abuse, and other things in my life are a part of me or who I’ve become, but I am the master, the artist of me, so I have the power to mold and change things.

We all have power, no matter what we’ve been through. Some have had it worse than others, and true, it can be difficult. But we need to get up, find help if need be, and start the change. We have to find ourselves and live. Not be an empty shell, which I would feel about myself at times. Lost, no identity, but working on it.

We all want the same things, to be happy, comfortable. Honestly the outside world can only do so much. The inside must be in a good place too. Sometimes things will stress us out, will make us unhappy. That’s just the way it is.

“Trust me, you can’t change anything without causing some degree of disruption. It’s impossible, that is exactly what change is. Some people are uncomfortable with the disruption that change causes, but the disruption is necessary if anything is going to change.” ~ Afeni Shakur

It’s so strange, but after all this time, I still feel like I am at the beginning. Could be my procrastination, could be me letting life distract me from the real issues. But are we really living if we allow the outside, or anything else block our progress? Sure, we all want to be okay, but we should be okay as a WHOLE. Not just on the outer shell.

So it’s okay to want things to be okay, there’s nothing wrong… but, okay needs to be from the inside out.

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
~ John Lennon

Current listen: Limp Bizkit – Loser

I just want to be okay
There ain’t nothing wrong with that (Goodbye)
I’m losing my life away
Losing myself
And I want it back
