This is something.. that I’ve always struggled with and recently, I’ve began to question within myself again, so I’ve made this little reminder for myself as well as anyone else who can relate.. because everyone, deserves to HEAR & KNOW that they are indeed enough everyday.

^ I decided to create a Detroit Tigers related edit in honor of the new baseball season.. Go Tigers! =]

Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it

I made this today, after I’ve been struggling quite mightily again myself lately.. everyday has been a true struggle for me and every time  I think I’m starting to feel better, I breakdown again. What I’ve learned is.. it’s okay to struggle and its okay to breakdown sometimes & so.. in my time of struggle I wanted to make this for you (as well as myself) as a way to say, no matter what your going through.. its okay to hurt, to feel sad, mad, confused, and to feel like giving up. As long as you get back up.. please know, that your not alone and you DO have a purpose.. your life has value and your NOT worthless

I just can’t think about anything or anybody and I can’t sleep. I can’t breathe. I can’t eat. And I love you. I love you all the time. Every minute of every day. I love you

Most everything I create has a purpose.. whether it’s to send a positive message for others and a gentle reminder for myself, the phrase.. “just breathe” is extremely relevant to me right now as it’s something I constantly tell myself lately & I’m sure others as well.. as I’m doing everything I can, to just hold on and I hope, that this piece does the same for you.

 The reason for the beat up appearance to the piece is that everyone feels a little broken sometimes for various reasons. You may feel tore down, beat up, and on the brink of giving up.. however, just because you feel that way it does NOT mean you lack value or your life isn’t important and so.. within the tears and rain droplets and ran ink within the text is the still beauty that is the calmness of the ocean. If your hurt and you feel you can’t carry on.. please remember you do serve a purpose. It’s cliche to say, but it’s true and I’m writing this in the worst emotional point I’ve ever experienced in my life.. not knowing if I have anything left, I’ve felt worthless and hurt on an indescribable level, but I hope my words soothe you in my hour of pain.. take my reminder that things do get better, I don’t know when or how, but they will, please hold on and I’ll try to do the same.
