Just Words

Hi! I hope every one is enjoying the snow, or at least a day off from school/work! I spent it hanging out with friends, hiking, and building an igloo! I also worked on my online classes, and listened to music. You all know how much I love making references to songs, and a friend told me about another one the other day.

The song is called A Little Too Much by Sean Mendes. Not only do I think he is really cute, but I love this song. Sean sings about a girl who struggles, but manages to get through it and stay strong. Here are some lyrics from the song that I really like:

She would not show that she was afraid,

But being and feeling alone was too much to face,

Though everyone said that she was so strong,

What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on,

But she knew that she would be okay,

So she didn't let it get in her way,

Sometimes it all gets a little too much,

But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,

And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,

And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much

I love the message of this song, and how it acknowledges the fact that life is hard, and it can get overwhelming, but it’s temporary and it will get better, which has proven true for me. Life does get better, and it does get easier. It’s okay to be afraid, but it’s never okay to give up. I have had instances where it has gotten extremely hard, and I have wanted to, or attempted to give up. But that is not the way to go, and life has improved a lot for me, and the fog has started to lift.

My therapist and I were talking about the negative phrases that go into my head. Things like, “you can’t do this”, or “you are so fat and so worthless.” We thought about these words and others for a while, and came up with a conclusion that I had never really thought of before, but I wanted to share it with you guys. Words are just words. They are made up of a bunch of random letters, and that’s all they are. These words should not determine major decisions such as eating or starving, living or dying, or anything else. 

I want to end this post by saying how thankful I am for such an awesome support system, because without you guys, I might not be here. 

Stay Strong!
