Lately, I've been dealing with some issues within my personal life that have been dragging me down. Despite my best efforts to ignore the issues that are pressing on my mental state, it's been draining me of both my inspiration and my motivation to write. I promised myself I'd get back to writing consistently, promised myself I'd stick to a schedule- but life happens, and as it does, you tend to get lost in the counterbalance between positive and negative.
This past week has been a tidal wave of negative for me. I've honestly never felt more personally attacked, criticized, and dragged down than I have recently. I've tried working out, hiking, baking, even playing games to take my mind off of the situation- but nothing seems to work. My dad's advice was to "let it go, because what is, is, and there's nothing you can do about it". While that's not always the case for life's many problems, in this scenario, it sadly is. There's nothing to be done about the situation, it just is. I've come to the conclusion that some people are simply put in your life as a test, to see how well you can deal with crushing negativity. While I've been letting it get the best of me recently, I've decided that it's time to stop letting someone irrelevant win over my mind, and put some positive thinking to work. Anyone who actively tries to drag you down is looking to impede on your success, and keep you from reaching your goals in life... by letting negativity halt me in my tracks, I'm doing nothing more than letting this person win. That ends now. From today forward, I'm going to use the negativity as a reason to succeed further. I'll use it as motivation to push me to get ahead of myself, ahead of my schedules- so I have more time for myself, to relax and counteract the negativity in my life. Today, I did some extra studying for work I'll be doing next week, and tonight I plan on treating myself to a long, hot bath. This weekend is going to be dedicated to self-improvement- and also to clearing out some of the mess from around the house. I'll be back at the Rietta flea market with Seth this weekend, and I plan on putting my energy towards making progress around the house and bringing in some additional cash. If any of our readers are in the New England area and would like to visit us, we're there between 8AM and 2PM on Sundays (weather permitting). Just google the Rietta Ranch flea market to get the exact address and directions from your location. I look forward to seeing you. - Maddie
