Who's That Girl?

Do you ever have those moments where you ask yourself “why is this happening?” “why me?” “why now?”  Well, here I am yet again after another hiccup in life asking the why questions and trying to sort through it all as calmy as possible.

Something unfortunate happened, as has been happening to many, many people recently.  Our vehicle was stolen and with that several other things too.  It’s sad to think that one person’s selfish act could cause so much hurt, struggle and pain to another.  When you try to live your life honestly and as a good human it can be hard to fathom these acts ever happening to you, but yet again, good things happen to all people.  The good ones and bad ones.   As I try to process and rationalize what this life lesson is supposed to teach me, I am reminding myself that I still have my health, I still have my family and friends as well as their love and support and those are the things that matter more than anything in life.  Everything else is material and not important.

As I continue with my self-healing journey, which I realized needed more attention and focus and which is my priority for this year, I had to write it out.  So here I am, writing out my thoughts, feelings, and emotions.  I feel sad, I feel scared, and I feel violated.  I feel like the world has gone crazy and that people have become much more selfish.  Maybe it’s the daily life pressures that are causing this.  Maybe it’s greed.  Whatever it is I guess the why really can’t be answered so we need to look at the positives so that we don’t become consumed with the negatives.

I’m sure that whatever lesson I am meant to learn from all of this will only make me stronger and a better human or more whole somehow.  It already has made me look internally and realize that there is much more work to be done emotionally so I guess that is one takeaway.  Healing is a journey and takes time.

So, I will end this post by saying, love and appreciate all that you have but don’t make the material things in your life your main priority or focus. Although they are nice to have, none of it matters in the grand scheme of things and they are all replaceable – but life isn’t.  Reflect on each hurdle you are currently facing and make sure you learn from it and grow.  Always move forward and most importantly no matter how many hits life may throw your way, don’t let it make you grow angry or cold and always continue being a good person.
