I am going to take your mind on a spiritual journey, close your eyes and just imagine that you live in a cheap apartment located on 125th Street in upper Manhattan. It is an extremely hot summer day and it seems as though everyone that you loathe is outside roaming around your neighborhood. At home, your air conditioning is not working, you ran out of your bottled water supply and to make matters worst you only have one Tampon left out of your favorite Tampax Pearl supply. Although you did not feel up to par, you figured that it was extremely important to go to the bodega and purchase everything you needed. Feeling highly annoyed and being in a rush, you threw on a pair of Pink sweat shorts and left.
Half way to the bodega you realized that you left your apartment keys inside of your apartment. At this point your anger had reached its peak. You cannot believe that you had done such a thing, you start to say to yourself "if only I had a companion that I lived with ,then he could have reminded me to grab my keys". You start to feel overwhelmed and right in the middle of 125th street, you begin to cry. Not because you left your keys inside of your apartment or because you live by yourself; You begin to cry because for the first time in your 24 years of life you realized that you are completely alone and that you are the only person that you can depend on.
Does this story sound familiar to you ? Have you ever felt like you were completely alone? Or have you ever just randomly felt like crying in the midst of what should be a happy moment? These feelings stem from. Not being at peace with your troubled soul. Maybe there are some unresolved issues in your waking life that you block out because you are afraid to deal with them. Like realizing that you are not living up to your full potential. Or maybe you are surrounded by friends and family that you can't trust. Or maybe you have everything you ever wanted but no one to love.
What ever your issue may be I strongly suggest that you sit down and write a Very personal letter to yourself including what you accomplished, all of your fears, and things that you need improvement on.
Each morning you should read your letter to yourself so that you will be able to take on the day. Soon, you road blocks will become tiny pebbles because each time you read your letter you will be facing your fears.
Remember No matter how old a woman is she is not too old for a diary. Diaries can help you become a stronger and better person because if you ever feel down you can just look back and remember where you were. Or you can look back and reflect on your treasured moments. Remember nothing in life is given to you not even happiness. True happiness comes from being content with who you are and most importantly appreciating things and people for what they are because ladies, all too often we make excuses and create persona's for people, to avoid confusion just accept people for who and what they are. Last but not least life is short. Do not waste another minute loving a person that does not love you. Be strong in who you are and live your life as you wish.
