Waiting For a Hero

Have you ever felt like your stuck, or in a ditch? You've tried to claw your way out, but you keep falling back in. You're waiting or someone to grab your hand and pull you out, or hand you a ladder to make your climb out easier. You're waiting for someone to save you.

I've been here so many times. Stuck, alone and afraid. Waiting for a hero to save me. Sometimes I feel like I live in this ditch, but that no one is coming to help. And I know that so many people reading this are in that place right now. That you're worried you're not strong enough. That the climb is too high. The time is too little or the troubles too great.

Truth is, there will be bad days. There will be times your ditch seems deeper, your fall greater or your climb more difficult. There will be tears and screams, anger and confusion...but there will also be good days. Days where your ditch isn't so deep, and the climb not so challenging. BUT, the difficult climbs are revealing something I promise you havnt seen. See, your hero is closer than you think.

It is at your most difficult times when your hero is revealed. The person that is strong no matter what. The person who picks you up when you've fallen. The person who will accept your failures and love your scars. The one person who can save you. The one who reminds you how to be happy...

...And it is so beautiful and amazing that this person has been you all along. Because no one is stronger than you. No one is braver. Bruised maybe, but not broken. Afraid, but not defeated. Hero's aren't perfect, but their imperfections result in greatness.
No one else can save you. No one can make you truly happy. Your happiness, excitement, confidence and beauty come from you. And you already have all the power you need to be your hero. You've been waiting for someone strong, but your strength was actually building. Waiting for a helping hand, but your hands have been hardening for the climb. Waiting for a hero...When he/she has been there all along.

You are a hero! You are your own hero. Only you can save you. Believe in your power.

No matter how deep your ditch, keep climbing. The greatest hero's emerge from difficulties. You are a hero in waiting. A warrior and fighter. Braver than you think and stronger than you know. So don't wait for your hero...You are already your hero. Just open your eyes, take a breathe, and believe it. Then, you will be unstoppable.

And just in case you don't yet know, you are worth saving. Don't give up. The most important battle to win is your own. Good news is that every day you wake up, you're winning. So keep winning. Keep fighting. It gets better!

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

Words

You're ugly. You're worthless. Why are you even alive? You mean nothing and never will. Don't even try because you'll fail. You'll never be happy. No one will ever love you... I have heard these words more than I can count. When I was 13 I started experiencing intense bullying, both physical and verbal. To be told these things every day, no matter how hard you try, you start to believe them. No one ever told me any different, so what was I, as a young teenager, to believe? I started to hate myself. I mean HATE myself. I fully believed that I would never accomplish anything and that my life was a mistake. To be honest, sometimes I still do. Words are incredibly, ferociously powerful! They have the power to build or destroy you. And it is so true and so sad that you are more likely to believe what others tell you then what you tell yourself. In 11th grade I decided something had to change. I couldn't live hating life, and I wanted to prove those people wrong. Lo
