hey guys

So it has been a really long time since I have been on this tumblr, I had made a new one and was on there and well, I need a place to put some writing out there and decided I would come back on here. I don’t have any idea how many of you still use this, or still actively pay attention to what I post. 

To get to the point of writing this I should start at the beginning of when this started. On Jan 17 2016 I was in quite the car accident. I broke my pelvis in 4 places, both legs, fractured my sternum, 8 ribs, half my right lung collapsed, multiple injuries to my liver, and a concussion to top it off. Since then it just feels like my life is all about recovery, and it gets frustrating sometimes. For the last year I have felt completely trapped, trapped where I am living, trapped in terms of things I can or can’t do, every single day I am in pain. And I try, so hard not to complain too much to everybody around me but damn is it hard. 

The thing that inspired this- one of my friends has joined a new company that is completely about looking at everything positively and never letting anything get you down and that’s great. I am so so happy for her, and glad she has found something that suits her. However, I cannot stand when people try to shove that stuff down another persons throat. She has been through a lot, and she has come out strong but she has no idea what I, personally, have been through. No idea how hard it is for me to get up every single morning, because of the pain and the anxiety I have. No clue how hard it is for me, still, to get into a car and my immediate first thought not to be that I’m going to be in another accident, or that I’m going to die. I know that she is trying to be supportive and all that, but honestly (and if you’re one of these people please take note) it makes me never want to talk to her. Sometimes, there’s a little bit of resentment there when I’m trying to tell her something hurts and she goes off on her little rant about being positive. Some days, I just can’t do it. Some days I still fall apart and you know what? That’s ok.  Why is it so hard for some people to understand sometimes, you just need a day to be mad, or upset. Some times, it takes all I have not to give into the pain and frustration and there are most definitely days that I do give in. On those days, I need someone to tell me it will pass and it will be ok, not lecture me on how to be positive or have a better outlook.

I guess my point is- if someone loves you enough to talk to you about something and confide in you, LISTEN to them before you speak, and don’t give advice or tips that you weren’t asked for.

I hate everyone that came before you because they fucked me up so much that I have this constant fear that you’ll end up just like every one of them. You’ll get annoyed with me, tired of me, never want to hear my voice or my giggle anymore, you’ll leave me. I fear losing you and it kills me that I have to be like this.

FINALLY. THANK YOU TO THE PERSON THAT GETS IT.

If you actually think physical attractiveness is important in a relationship, you are not shallow. To make a good relationship last you have to be physically and mentally attracted to the person. I am tired of seeing people being called shallow simply because they are looking for someone attractive to them, mentally and physically.

You are shallow when physical attractiveness is the only thing that keeps you two together.

You need to stop fighting for people who have already forgotten about you.

Hello tumblr, it's been awhile

I know I haven't posted in awhile, because I'm barely on this but hello, to those still following me, thanks for your continued attention My reason for posting this- I was just reading this article that really hit me hard, made me recognize a lot of things that I didn't for a long time. Now my eyes are open and there's no way for me to close them again. We live in a generation where our lives seem to be regulated by social media. People base their self worth by the number of followers they have, beauty on how many likes they get on their selfie they just posted. We follow people doing amazing things with their lives because we think it's interesting but then we sit there and go, why aren't I doing that? Why can't I do that? We compare our lives directly to those of the people we follow and then wonder why we're not happy. Why nothing appears to be good enough, why we always want something more. A lot of people don't see this, don't realize they're doing it. I didn't, I did not realize until earlier today. how can one expect to be happy when you spend your life looking at other people's lives instead of looking at the things you're accomplishing in your own? Take a second and look at the life you've made for yourself. Look away from the phone and look around you. Notice your friends, your family, what you're doing and what you aspire to do. Happiness is hard work and to achieve it you have to work for it. Set goals and follow through instead of looking at what you could be doing, and not doing it. Go out somewhere and take the time to appreciate your surroundings rather than wasting your time taking pictures of it. Go out and have delicious food and actually eat it, don't just take pictures of it to post later on when you're sitting at home. Not really sure where I'm going with this, I guess I just wish more people would wake up. Look around you and open your eyes. Realize your potential as a human being. go for it. Get r done. End rant
