Tick Tock, Tick Tock

By Her Beautiful Melancholy

How do you know you're ready for change or that without even realizing you've started changing?

Change much like time is ever fluent, at times you hardly notice a difference even feeling like you are stagnant or stuck in a loop.

Everything seems to be dragging or not moving at all. And yet within the blink of an eye without you even noticing a lifetime has gone by, the universe suddenly seems a strange place to be in and oh so very different than ten minutes or even seconds ago.

And while you may feel like the same old you. As if the universe may have changed but you remained the same. Truth is the world never changed "you did".

Time is ever fluent always changing always moving it does not stop or wait for anyone. However between everything that's changed amongst all of them the change within yourself has been the most drastic of all. Whether for better or worse only time will tell.

One thing remains the same. It is a certainty a fact of life.

"It is never too late to start anew".

To turn over a new leaf or go down a different road or if you so choose it you can continue down the one you're already on.

Good or bad. Wrong or right.

The decision has always been up to you. 

Others may come to test your resolve. Let them, but don't allow them to win. Some come to push you past your limit until you reach your breaking point. Others to help build you into who you're meant to be and even to tear you down. 

Regardless you will either come out on the other side or you will turn around mid-journey or even before the starting line due to outside influences and limitations set by yourself.

Remember the outcome lies in your hands, they may influence the colors and landscapes of your journey but the destination is up to you.

These things...

Heartbreak. Betrayal. Failure. Disappointment and resentment are all meant to bold you into the best version of yourself.

Don't be too afraid to evolve past your current state, to be different and stand out from the rest. 

Fear is a part of bravery.

Bravery isn't the absence of fear but understanding that fear is a part of bravery.

A Bitter pill to swallow

By Her Beautiful Melancholy
New year, new me. Right?! New... Sigh. New year. New me. For the longest time- no. Ever since I can Remember. My whole life. Down to The very second I opened my eyes for the First time. I was surrounded by darkness. Nothing I did was ever quite right. No amount of straight A's, appraising teachers or professors. Extracurricular activities, awards, achievements, or concerts could warrant the praise or approval I so desperately longed for...desired. And no matter how fast I ran I                           Would never outrun the relentless pursuit of darkness. Always on my beck and call.             Right on my heels. I ran, ran and ran....and RAN. "Run" Begging, pleading for a way out. For Someone to- to what? Chasing after a family I could never please nor satisfy. And although I knew it was pointless I could never muster the courage or strength  to let go. And end this...

It's okay to not be okay

Like a branch sprouting from a dying tree, saving it from the brink of disaster. So we too must learn to grow and evolve past our current state. ‘It is never too late to start anew”  But when we spend enough time pretending to be someone we're not, eventually we’ll lose ourselves to the act. And become the lie we so carefully constructed for ourselves. Lost in a barrage of facades and personas. Slipping further and further away from the truth and who we truly are.  I think that’s where the saying comes from. “In life, we constantly have to find and rediscover ourselves”  This however isn't always easy. often, we're too arrogant and ignorant to realize we’ve strayed from the path we once set for ourselves, after all, IGNORANCE IS BLISS.    Sometimes we get too absorbed with our problems that we turn a blind eye to everything that threatens to ruin or disrupt this carefully constructed life we put together. For fear of failure, judgment, loneliness, loss of money...

To be brave

 Mistakes huh Hm. I see , now I understand. Failure is nothing more than a stepping stone for success. He who never fails has never dared to dream or reach deep into the abyss. How sad it must be.  And how sad it is to live a life boxed in by the limitations set by your mind. Just because we're afraid of falling.  The irony  lies in the fact that instead of plummeting to the ground you might soar higher than you've dreamed, but now you'll never know. It is only when we understand why failure, heartache, sorrow, and regrets are such a crucial part of life and a "monumental" part of self-growth. You'd never get involved with someone if you knew they would betray your trust or break your heart. If you knew, you would never get involved with them in the first place. After all who would willingly step up just to get hurt?! And yet without experiencing heartbreak or betrayal you would never know what it means to trust someone blindly or love wholeheartedly. In fact,...
