Quote by @lonely.penguin

If there’s something I can do to avoid causing someone else to suffer, I’ll do it. Even if we have no future, tell me how i can reassure you and relieve your heart’s burden. I don’t want anyone suffering because of me - lost in the dense forest if their thoughts and self doubt. Allowing someone to frantically search for the path of truth because you’re carelessly avoidant is inhumane. Providing clarity takes only a moment of my time, and could grant someone their life back. Please please please do this for each other.

Change Begins with You

Change Begins with You

a new beginning

Do you go through life pushing away the possibility of growth? Have you had to suffer hardships many might not relate to? Is fear limiting your enjoyment in life?

If you identify yourself in these questions you are not alone. For the last 7 years of my life, I have found myself stagnant wishing for better days with no luck. Hopefully, this blog is a step in the right direction that will not only help my personal growth but provide a safe space for others looking to enhance their journey through life.

Welcome to my blog, I’m Alex! A majority of the content you can expect here includes self-expression, mindfulness, disability & mental illness, and my own growth through life. A couple of examples of posts you might read here are opinion pieces, personal experiences, special interests, pictures of my adventures, and occasional personal writings of fiction or poetry. I’m ecstatic to be able to fully express myself here and meet some new people!

Prioritizing Your Priorities!

I reached up on the book shelf above my creative desk and pulled one of the leather journals down to take a glance. As I fingered through the pages, among the scriptures, gratitude lists and task, my eyes fell onto a heading labeled My Top Ten Priorities. I smiled, because I can vaguely remember making the list and also because I feel like I maybe have made a little progress over the last five…

Had a melt down that lasted for two close to three days.

I couldn't handle the mess my autistic son has surrounded me in. I kind of lost it and started crying and wishing him to be put into someone else's care.

But, then, it put into perspective that I'm actually burned out and stressed and in need of an outlet to maintain my sanity.

My lack of having my own space to live in, forced to be a bit confined to my bedroom all day with my children--It's frustrating--and just the pandemic making it hard for me to be more self reliant since my kids don't wear masks therefore making it difficult going to places like stores and supermarkets with the in tow. I always have to scramble to look for someone to watch them so I can do a simple errand. I'm tired of it all. I'm tired of not having stability.

I'm tired of also failing every diet attempt. I just keep failing and it's psychologically damaging.

Tired of having a shitty therapist and having difficulty locating a new one.

I realized I need to try my best to be a decent parent for both Adam and Kenneth, specifically toward Adam. Losing my patience with him isn't right. And, although I am human. I need to be compassionate and empathic with him.

I also need to advocate for myself more.

Like, for instance, if I don't want to do something unnecessary and tolerate unpleasant people, I don't have to.

And, I have to be kinder to myself. I need to treat. Myself better and want better for myself. I am going to try. I think looking for a weekly outlet, even if it's once a week, will be good for my mental health. It'll help me better manage my stress levels and the way I treat my children and how they will develop into adults.

I want to be be happy and not depressed and insecure. It took a lot of self reflecting to be able to acknowledge it and own up to it. I think enrolling into a gym will help blow off some steam and maybe signing up to a weekly class to. Something just for me.

I'm very much interested in learning sign language (ASL) , French and improving my cooking skills--a cooking class is something I would love to do to better my poor skills.

I'm not confident at all with my abilities in the kitchen. I've gotten quite better, but there's still a lot I need to learn. For some reason, I can't make fluffy, grainy rice and my soups come out so bad as well. I need the assistance of a seasoned cook that knows what they're doing in order to make food that's not bland, undercooked or overcooked.

It's a matter of finding one that works for me. This self teaching stuff is becoming harder and harder. I just want to be able to feed my family edible food that doesn't suck.

Camptivated Cultivated Friday

I am told this week to do many things; it hasn’t made me angry in fact it has made me angry. As my Dad put $50 in my bank account I still bought more cigarettes. This was First Baptist Church of DeRidder’s dare for me. We used to play games like stuffy bunny and much more. Today I picked up that my ex-boyfriend dropped my backpack up and there lay another shabby scary Bible. The one my Mother…

#Faith&Vision

Can I go to the top of the mountains? Let me scream out that I’m healing, let the world know that I’m okay. Tell the ones that doubted me, that I am healing.
