Happiness - exit 1

One of the hardest decisions we ever make in life is leaving a relationship that just isn’t working. When attempts at repairing and working out issues aren’t working, it may be time to examine moving on. We are emotional creatures, and when our heartstrings are tied to those of another, separating from that person can feel like an act of courage. It is not something most of us will take lightly, and many of us will struggle with our desire to stay in a relationship that is unfulfilling simply in order to avoid that pain. We may question whether the happiness we seek even exists, and we may wonder if we might be wiser to simply settle where we are, making the best of what we have.On the one hand, we almost relish the idea that true happiness is not out there so that we can avoid the pain of change. On the other hand, we feel within ourselves a yearning to fulfill our desire for relationships that are vital and healing.

Ultimately, most of us will follow this call, because deep within ourselves we know that we deserve to be happy. We all deserve to be happy, no matter where we find ourselves in this moment, and we are all justified in moving, like plants toward the light, in the direction that leads to our greatest fulfillment. First, though, we may need to summon the courage to move on from the relationship that appears to be holding us back.Taking the first steps will be hard, but the happiness we find when we have freed ourselves from a situation that is draining our energy will outshine any hardship we undergo to get there. Keeping our eyes trained on the horizon, we begin the work of disentangling ourselves from the relationship that no longer fits. Every step brings us closer to a relationship that will work, and the freedom we need to find the happiness we deserve

If you understand this, you deserve a cookie

Ever get that feeling that you may be over-thinking certain things? Where you put one and one together and come up with a conclusion that, at the time, seems so reasonable it had to be true? The next day you would remember what you had concluded and thought “Im an idiot for thinking that.”This represents an example of the cliche “too smart for your own good.” As a one veers deep into thought, one loses oneself in it. Conclusions would be clouded with poor judgment, in spiraling downward deeper into oneself, one plus one may equal three and it would make sense. Without hesitation, you will come to believe one plus one equals three, and from then on, everything that you may add up differs from what is actual, and it would still make sense because one plus one equals three.Everyone has a dark side within them regardless of how you uphold yourself in front of family, friends, or even yourself. In a situation where you do not feel right in, an obvious answer would be to ask. But what if that becomes inconclusive? what then?

In an effort to try to make sense of a situation that seems so unsatisfactory, you would put one and one together to create three in efforts to avoid the obvious answer, leading to a bigger problem, avoiding the big picture.The big picture has many faces. All with its own unique characteristics that creates a different picture without them. One can conclude that one plus one equals three, but only if another plus one comes before or in between that. Without an extra one, three will not exist.To create a non-obvious answer, one would, somewhere along the lines, add another one within the equation to create a different answer. But what if they added too much ones? Another answer would arise resulting in further discourse.By the time a conclusion has been agreed upon by oneself, too many plus ones and minus ones have occurred. One mistake stacked on top of another creates a conclusion far beyond comprehension of others because it does not resemble fact, but more of fiction. Until you regain full consciousness, you would forget about the equation and take the discoursed conclusion as fact.

Have I lost you yet?

I dont expect anyone to purely understand this, but this is exactly how confusing my mind is right now.I know what their goal is, but is there an underlying reason for sugar-coating everything? Do they think Im stupid or am I just over-thinking things again? Could it be truth or could they have hidden motives?…..ugh
