When the going gets tough and the building collapses around you.

What would you do? What would be your thoughts? If your life did a flip, a complete 180 and you were now standing on your head, and you couldn't see where you were going to land. You could not envision the path that this devastation might take you. Where will you go in the dark? Who do you see?
I do not ask these questions to receive an answer but to put your mind in motion to think about the what if's and test your mind's eye.

I have recently come to the conclusion that no one knows how they will react to tragedy. They may answer the question on how they think they would respond but 100% aren't entirely sure that their reactions will be the same. You wouldn't, I mean every situation is different, and the effects might ripple in various ways. Some stand in shock and others run for the hills. A flight or fight response. I believe that I would run, an instinctual reaction but I found that when the going gets tough, I do not turn my back with my "tail" between my legs and head for the hills where I believe it to be safe. I protect my own.

"Oh, you're a mom, you're just protecting your young" I can hear someone say.
While that might be true, I've watched those that haven't even interact with kids stick up and protect them at any cost. What's the excuse now?

As humans, we evolve and tap into unused abilities that we never knew that we had, when bad things happen, the adrenaline rushes, and we become superhuman.

Recently,
My future and possibilities available to me have been shaken, recent events have caused my plans to be now on hold. So now that my going has gotten rough can I become superhuman and face these challenges head on.

I want you all to look at any problems in your life no matter big or small they might be and tackle them anyway that you see fit. Life is too short to conform and abide by the bully or the things that are holding you back. I'm not saying go bat shit crazy and fight the boss that won't give you the promotion but show them that you deserve it all because you do.

No matter what challenges fall into our paths, we should never let them hold us back because all of us have potential that is greater than we realize.


Thanks, guys:)

The Things We May Never Know. Curiosity.

I know curiosity has killed the cat over and over. Maybe, even longer than 9 times. But, our curiosity seems to never fade. As humans we always find things to oogle over. The things that make us question what is acceptable. Its actually quite funny. The big picture, I mean. How we stop and stare and ponder over the things we may never fully know about. There's a lot isn't there? We may stop and question things we desire the answers too. What about the questions that do not have answers the ones that leave open ended responses to be filled with the imaginative curiosity. Those my friends are the ones to ponder over.  We typically assume that every question has an answer, but do they? Do they have to? and (Every so popularly) Why? Like you, I'm not sure of that. Not all questions have answers just like not all actions come with reason. Some times the things we don't understand happen out of circumstance with no reason or meaning. They just do.  I know that ...

Brush the Dust off

Brush The Dust Off November 11, 2018 | M. Jackson Brush the dust off darling, the pain won't last long. Brush the dust off honey and smile, your beauty will mask the pain. Brush the dust off love, Pain is just a temporary burden, your strength is long lasting. Brush the dust off and stand up,and love yourself. Brush the dust off and walk along the path that was meant for you. Things may seem hard now but its only temporary, like the dust on your clothes, the darkness can be wiped away. You can start again and you can find the light. Too many times the fight is harder than you think and giving up seems easy but fighting gives life, changes and shapes you into a hardened creature with the world on her back. Its easier to give up but giving them a reason to stare is all worth while. We are meant to shine, not to be stifled by "I cannot" or " you cannot" when in reality you can and you will. You are meant...

Why Do I Care So Much?

Why do I care so much, why do I give a damn? All I seem to do is try and try to be there and to give my undivided self to everybody. I think I love so intensely that even the slightest inconvenience to someone that I care about is debilitating and tears me to pieces. Naturally, I do not want to see anyone hurt, sad. If I can't help, Im helpless. Hopeless and feeling like a waste of space. Why do I care so much? Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is a cruel injustice that's been given. Then I have to stop and think. If not me, then who? If I wasn't there to care about someone, would someone else. I may not be the best person to ask for advice or the greatest friend who never screws up, but I have love, an open heart and the open mindedness of someone who has never known pain. Even though, I've been through trials, heart break and gut wrenching tears. Every chance shouldn't be the last, every love deserves attention. So Why do I care so much? Why does plain Jane, lil old me...
