Part IV - Of epiphanies and more…

Life is full of seasons. One day we might have a great day and then tomorrow may be a bad one. This can be exhausting when all we have to hold on to is the day to day and not in the hope of something certain and unchanging.

Like I mentioned in my previous posts, I would experience short lived happiness and peace but then I would feel sad and alone again. When this happened I would run to the things that I knew as my comfort zones only to find that I was back at square one or maybe worse… if you added a disappointment, broken heart, exhausted mind and body to the equation.

We all have voids we are trying to fill one way or another. The purpose of this blog is not to tell you whether you are doing a good job or not at the way you're filling yours. I am not here to tell you what to do to work on your life but I discovered with time that there is hope beyond short living circumstances and experiences… I learned that we are on earth to experience more than a roller coaster of emotions. There is more than white-knuckling our way through the ride. We can start to really live when we learn how to let go of this tightening grip and learn to find grace and hope through our situations.

Being a very independent individual and having somewhat of an obsessive compulsive personality made this realization hard to come across, but since my big epiphany happened my life really has never been the same. And so this sweet journey starts…
