Fits and Giggles

  A little prelude before you enter the journey of reading the below, the awareness that I have, in being able to write this post, has come from hours and hours on end of really going deeper within myself. I’ve always been a reader, I’ve always had a yearning to learn something new every day, in a sense its what I’ve learned is one of the ways I ensure my happiness. My brain is the happiest when she (yes, it’s a she, do you even know me?) 😊 is learning. I think my first dive into the self-journey started with a You are A BadAss, which skimmed the surface, and from there I just continued the process. Through therapy, mediation work, journaling, reading, and reading, listening, and learning to other’s stories, I can say I am starting to skim the surface and really put into perspective who I am, and better yet, understand my past, reactions I’ve had and still have, and really start to attempt in putting the pieces together.

A title that is short, sweet, and straight to the point. Now ovbiously we can be better, everyday, that we are living on this earth, and experiencing the day to day-ness, but what I want to call out specifically is in regards to how we communicate with one another.  We must do better.

Were you listening to the other person, or were you thinking of what you wanted to say, that happened to you?...

 I think it can be said that one can have many different perspectives throughout their life on certain situations that are vital to or are said to be vital to their existence while on this earth. Let's be clear on what I am referring to, which is love. The most beautiful but overly complicated free gift we all are given the moment we enter into this life. Actually, pause and rewind, we're given this even before we're welcomed onto earth by our mothers who carry us within their wombs.  We are born from and into love, yet if its something we all inherently get so easily and free, why is it such a top of discussion and in routine cases something we can't figure out how to receive and give? Now love to me personally takes on many personas, there's the love that I have been given from my family, which has always been undeniable.  There is love in a way that I have had for a friend, some deeper then others, but a loving supportive care of genuine reciprocated respect and ...
