Sometimes in life, we feel as though no one cares about us or what we do with our lives. Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, no matter how long it took you to do it, or how much courage it took you to do it, that still no one cares?
Are you a people-pleaser? Is the reason you do many of the things you do, if not everything, is to please a specific person? If your answer is yes, then this blog post is for you. Many times throughout my life, I have only wanted a few things. That is for someone to care about the things that I accomplished, even if it wasn’t always the best, but it was my best. And for someone to be proud of those things. And of me.
I was, sometimes I still am, a very big people-pleaser. I just want to make others happy, doing what they want me to do, even if it makes me miserable and/or it’s something that I don’t want to do. Whether it’s what I want to study in school or not study in school, what I want to do with my life. Yes, those things matter, but it also matters what I want to do and what my interests and passions are.
Personally, I have an interest in many things. Some that are completely different from another thing that I’m interested in. For example, music, criminal justice, photography, and children. Those are all things that I’m interested in and they don’t really have anything in common with the other. Photography can have to do with criminal justice, but that’s about the only thing, and children – taking pictures of children. Which I love to do also!
I do photography as a hobby now, and if someone wants pictures done, I will take them for them! I love taking pictures and capturing those special moments for them to look back on later on in life!
I have a family of my own, a husband and a little girl! We also have two dogs who are huge babies! But we love them to death! Our little girl is loving the dogs, and they love her!
We are doing everything we can to get out of debt and pay everything off. It is sometimes hard to enjoy life when you have bills after bills that come up that are due or overdue. You can’t afford to do anything, but we try to do things so that we won’t have just the bills and sadness and stress to look back on. We make memories. We can always make more money, but once a moment is gone, it’s gone. Make time for memories. Not just paying bills, and working to live. Yes, working is important, but so is living.
Sometimes we need to take some time, and just enjoy life. Go out to the park and walk, take lots of pictures (even silly ones), play in the rain (if it’s rainy but not storming- be safe!), play in the mud after its rained. You can always take a shower later.
MAKE MEMORIES!!!!!
Like I said earlier, once the time is gone, it’s gone. You can’t get it back. You may be in a little or a lot of debt, but it will still be there after you go make some memories with your family. You never know how long you have. Don’t regret not doing something, while you have the time.
And if you don’t really have time, MAKE TIME!
And when you are proud of someone, tell them that you are proud of them. Support them. And tell them that you support them. Show your support. I have been so blessed with the friends that I have that truly support me. Life is hard. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take some time (and money, if necessary) to enjoy some things with your family. Take that time and that money, enjoy it with your family. Don’t take that time for granted. I have been blessed with the family that God has given me. I am so thankful for my husband, our daughter and even our dogs. Our dogs know when we are sad, they will come up next to me and snuggle with me when they see me down and crying. They are the most loving animals!
I don’t know if this has helped anyone, I hope it has at least encouraged somebody. Everyone is going through something similar, if not the same thing. God is Good. He gives you exactly what you need and who you need exactly when you need it/them. I thank God everyday for Brandon!
Thank you all for reading this, and for supporting my blog. Life has been hectic, and I am trying to get my blog back up and going again!
