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

Change

I stared down the barrel of change in the past few days, the philosophy that by changing yourself, your lifestyle and your patterns that you somehow become a better person. You keep your insecurities to yourself, re-plaster the emotional walls that you have built, and let go of people who bring you down. Change is inevitable, it’s part of life, but Is change good? Does changing yourself change your situation, your acceptance by society, your health? There are countless articles and quotes stating: Do not change yourself for anyone. Society has us in an invisible room, a comfortable room. A room which makes us feel safe and grounded, taken care of and accepted, even if the foundation of this room is built on insecurities, comparison and unreachable standards. Stay as you are, they tell us, then bombard us with appearance issues, weight control images and mental health stigmas. All of the above, including a recent self-loathing, has led me to think: What if change yourself isn’t...

Being Single Through The Wait

Relationships. That word scares me. Not because of commitment or work or time, but because it's something foreign to me. I don't know what it's like to be committed and therefore I commit to anything. I always prayed about being the right girlfriend: being supportive and positive, strong, independent, healed. Being perfect. Yesterday the truth finally hit me and I'm writing from a place of understanding, pain, but hope and newfound grace because I now understand, without a doubt, why a relationship is so foreign to me. 'Walk like a wife and your husband will find you'. That's an incredibly terrifying quote, because it reveals the fundamental underlying fact of relationships: getting married. And I realised that the biggest blessing I could ever have asked for was to be single thus far. Truth is, you shouldn't be looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a husband or wife. And once you realise that, everything changes. You understand that love is more ...

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...
