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

The little ragdoll

A little girl bought a ragdoll one day. The sweetest doll you ever saw, with bright red wooly hair, a wide stitched smile and floral dress. They did everything together and formed a strong bond. But one day the little girl turned into a teenager, and didn't play with her ragdoll anymore. So she put her in a big box with many other forgotten objects and left it at the side of the road for someone else to find. All the doll's companions were soon taken, but no one had a use for a little doll. Her hair quickly faded, her smile pulled loose and her dress tore. She was all alone, left behind. Everyone around her was moving forward, but she was forgotten. I feel like this doll a lot. Like everyone around me is progressing and doing amazing things: travelling, excelling, getting into relationships...And here I am. Doing nothing new, sitting alone day after day and never truly getting anywhere. Nothing is getting better. But the doll soon got picked up by another little girl who alw...

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...

So...what's it like?

I got asked an interesting question today, and felt the need to share the answer: 'What's it like, living with a mental disorder everyday'? This question took me rather by surprise. See, I don't see myself as having disorders. I see them as battles to win and overcome, not live with. Nevertheless, I am going to try to answer this question, speaking personally of course, with as much simplicity as I can. This, for me, has a 3 part answer. I will discuss a new part over the next 3 days. 1. Depression What's it like? It's like dying alive. It's like living out of habit rather than want. It's not being able to wash your hair, get out of bed, get dressed or eat without feeling weak and despondent. It's hating being alone, hating being with people...hating being you. It's feeling lonely, hated and forgotten all the time, and fearing being judged and ridiculed. It's craving death and fearing life. But it's also strength: it's fighting ...
