My right

April 27, 2018 0 Comments
"You said 'stop dreaming'

Did my dreams intimidate you?

Did it get you scared when I laid out my plans before you?

Did they seem 'unwomanly'?

Did it mess with your head that you saw a future where I would be successful, be my own boss and you won't get a chance to push me around like you do now?

Did you think it was going to mess with your ego and give you a hard time?

Too bad. Big mistake"


Don't allow anyone to make you feel like your dreams are too big; their minds are just too small to comprehend it and that's not your fault. No one should infringe on your rights to dream and aspire. Besides, in a real sense, you do not owe anyone any explanations.

Have anything to offer on the subject matter? Kindly leave comments or contact me via email and I'll most definitely reply.

Relate?

Darling,
I know how you feel. You feel like the whole world is against you. Like nothing is right. Like your plans are not going as you had dreamed, hoped and prayed. Like nobody understands you. Like all your efforts are a waste and everyone keeps blaming you for all the failures you've experienced. Like the light that used to shine brightly within you has suddenly grown dim and you don't know what to do. Like the world is moving at a faster pace than you can hardly keep up with. Like you're seeing where you ought to be but you can't even get there because you're stuck in quicksand and you keep sinking, drowning in your fears of the uncertainty of the future. Like everyone around you has it all figured out. Like no one loves you. Like you’re not good enough. Like you’d never be successful and achieve your goals. I told you. I know how you feel. I feel that way sometimes too and the unrepentant thinker in me makes things worse but I'm learning how to drown out those passive, deadly thoughts. We’ll be fine eventually. I promise.

With love,
Joanne.
