As I write this, it's the beginning of January and all I see is covered with new fallen snow. Like the glistening snow, this new year signifies a new start: a blank canvas. Yet it's all an illusion. Underneath that vision of white is the same street, the same ground, the same life you had before. Instead of covering the parts of our lives that we aren't happy with, we should reshape them so come spring all we see is the beauty we want to be surrounded by.
We spend a lot of time and energy surrounding ourselves with things we find beautiful. Yet we allow ugly, toxic people into our lives so easily. Why? These people tear us down until we tear ourselves down.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." So why do we give consent? Why do we hand over control of our lives to someone else?
I'm so glad you're doing this! I'm sure it's very hard, but I can bet that it's a wonderful way to grow and in turn help people. Don't give up! I'm waiting for a new post! Kristin
