Cup of Tea

I am not a big fan of Tea. To me, it's a bit weak and boring. And the flavoured teas just try to mask the boringness of the drink. I much prefer coffee. Some might say I'm a tiny bit addicted to my coffee, but I don't mind. It just makes me happy. In fact, I'm writing this post with a cup in my hand.
Most of my friends, however, enjoy tea. To them, it's their happy place, their morning wake up. I don't get their love for it, but I love them for it. Isn't it amazing that everyone is so uniquely different!

So, what's my point? You are not everyone's cup of Tea. There are going to be people in this world who simply don't like you, and nothing you do or say will change that. Some people just prefer coffee, that's life. People are all different, with different tastes, opinions and interests. And sometimes, amongst two people, those things clash. However, you should never work overtime to please these people. You will lose the battle. Some people just won't see your worth. These people are not worth your time, friendship or effort. And, they will make you feel that there is something wrong with you. I spent many nights crying over people who didn't want to be around me, instead of growing closer to the people who did.

You may not be someone's cup of Tea, and that's ok. But you are SO many people's cup of coffee. There are people who love you, who love spending time with you, and who you are overlooking because you fixate on the people who like tea. The people you need to impress to like you, are not people worth having around.

So, regardless of whether you are a cup of coffee or tea, remember that people differ and you do not need to impress people. You are perfect the way you are...it just depends on the people around yous  perspective of perfect. Don't change who you are for anyone! Don't hang around people who degrade your worth! You are enough!

God made you who you are for a reason! He perfectly crafted you. In a way, you could look at Him as the barista. Does the quality of the drink change whether it's coffee or tea? Of course not! So don't degrade your quality because you don't fit someone's order.

Xx

Be Not Afraid

What is your biggest fear? The future? The unknown? People? Death? We all have fear. As someone living with anxiety disorder, fear is something I live with daily. It's like a monster crouched on your shoulder, waiting for his chance to ruin your life and dictate your thoughts. He's always there. He controls you, your thoughts and your actions. He keeps you awake at night, and keeps you in bed in the morning. He destroys your life...if you let him. Fear is not something to be afraid of. This might sound unusual, but I have a fear of being afraid. And if I'm not afraid of something, my mind finds something to fear. It's an endless cycle. But it's your choice whether to break that cycle. How many times did fear stop you from doing something? How many times did he whisper in your ear? I challenge you to choose not to listen. It's not easy! Being afraid is easy. But being brave is where you find your strength. It's ok to be anxious now and then, but what's

Turning self harm into self love

I have suffered many scars in the course of 7 years; mental scars, emotional scars, and physical scars. I see my scars and experiences as pieces of progress and character, but I didn't always feel this way. For a long time I tried to hide the pained side of me, and it's much easier to hide the invisible scars than the visible ones. The scars from my self harm are far more visible than my emotional scars. Today I want to encourage you by sharing how I turned my self harm into self love and learned to accept every part of myself, good or bad. Why do people self harm? This is different for everyone! I did it because it made me feel something. My disorders made me numb - my cuts made me feel. However, this feeling of 'feeling something' doesn't last. Self harm does more harm than good. The reasoning behind the self-inflicted pain is different for everyone, but I can guarantee that the results never live up to expectation! After time, they just add more pain and sham

My Battle

I am not here to hide. In fact, I'm done hiding. It's exhausting. I am here to be honest, to be sincere, and to be a voice. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety. It felt like I was drowning, like everything and everyone was against me...that I wasn't good enough to even live or breathe. I didn't have the strength. If it wasn't for Jesus, the only strength and hope I had left, I would not be here today. He was, is, and always will be my light. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with Dermatophagia. It is not a well known disorder, although many people suffer from it. At first I was ashamed, I felt that I had to hide and fear myself. Like I was a monster.. But I'm not. I'm not perfect, but that's ok. I may be on the road to recovery, and there are days that I feel like all hope is lost, but I am strong. I'm a fighter. Everyone is. There is a warrior inside everyone, no matter your gender, age, circumstances or mental or physi
