Change

 

For me personally change is difficult and I don't like it. If I'm used to doing a certain thing and something new is thrown into it....it completely throws me off. Change is different for everyone and they handle it in their own ways. There is nothing wrong with embracing change, but some people have trouble doing so. Its okay to not like it and its okay if you do because that is your opinion and how you see it as a whole. Everyone is going to have different thoughts and we should respect that. In order to make something better whether that is situational or ourselves than change is necessary. It can be scary to bring a new variable into our lives, but it could be worth it to see what can come out of that variable. 

Trauma

Trauma: a deeply distressing or disturbing experience

Trauma could be anything and it could really damage a person. I myself have some trauma: when I witnessed an ex-friend try to commit suicide and when my dad had his work accident. Two unrelated things, but terrible at the same time. I still get flashbacks from when my friend tried to hang herself, its been like 5-6 years now since it happened, and I'm reminded of my dad's accident every time I see him. There are worse things that what I went through and people tend to handle it in different ways. If you have ever experienced trauma of any kind then you should try to get some help because when you talk about it....it will allow some of that weight that you have been holding onto to lift a little. It could take a long time before it feels like things are back to "normal," but it will get there. You can get through this.

 

Truth be Told

"I say I'm fine, yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine but I'm not

I'm broken

And when its out of control I sat it's under control but it's not

And you know it

I don't know why it's so hard to admit it

When being honest is the only way to fix it

There's no failure, no fall

There's no sin you don't already know

So let the truth be told." (This is the lyrics to the chorus of the song)

Its okay to not be okay. There is always going to be times when we don't have things under control and its okay to admit that we don't know what we are doing. Its okay to step out of our comfort zones and ask for help. Whether that is to someone close to us or to God Himself. We can't do everything ourselves because everyone needs help throughout our lives. I am guilty of not doing this myself because I'm of the mindset that I can do things by myself. When I was in school I never wanted to ask for help because I thought I could handle it on my own, but I couldn't. I very nearly didn't graduate high school because I wouldn't ask for that help sometimes and when I did ask for help some teachers would get irritated with me because I wasn't understanding the material after they "tried" to explain how to do it. I did eventually graduate which was a huge relief.

It isn't a weakness to put pride aside and allow people in when things are falling apart. It is better to have someone in our corner to support us when we are going through something then to try to tackle the problem alone. Having a person around to listen when we need to talk or just to distract us for a bit once in awhile would be a lot of help because it would mean that there is someone who cares about us. God is always someone we can turn to without fail because He won't leave us no matter what and will in His own way turn things around for us. If you are going through something right now you can get through this and remember that its okay to not be okay.
