How can I say that
How can I wake up and know that the things of my past, present, and future shape me and I can say I approve of my life
So often we get into a tussle with ourself about where we are and where we expected to be. I find it so easy to judge our own life based off the lives of others instead of accepting where we are now. The only way that we can say those words “I approve of my life” is by truly being okay with where we are. As for me it has become so hard to accept that reality because of life its self, it is hard. There is so much hurt that I carry, emotional abuse, and just day to day struggles that I deal with. But I am coming to a place where I am approving my life. I am the one person living MY LIFE. I am the director of my life and everyone in it are extras. We find it easy to live a life where we allow everyone around us to direct our life in the way it should go. Starting from a young age. We are taught go to school, don’t do this don’t to that, go to college, get a stable job, get married, start a family. When in reality we are not all called to live that black and white life. Actually no one has ever or will ever live that black and white life. We will all do most of that but with so many major details that are involved with it. We have to accept ourself and all the mess that we go through in the middle of the “Great American” time line of schooling, jobs, marriage, and stability. Just know, your messy middle is what gives your life the fluff it needs to get you to your happy. I know it may seem like a hard road but as soon as you decide to wake up each morning and say to yourself “ I approve of my life” you will begin to see the joy in the middle of it all. I hope that anyone reading this begins to see how amazing their life is even when you are at your lowest of lows or highest or highs.
