[[I apologize in advance for the vibes that may come off from this post.]]




The truth is, I am SO ANNOYED with the number of people in my life claiming to be “dead inside.”

Phrases like:
“My heart is cold,”
“I died years ago,”
“There's no fixing me, I'm already dead.”




Seriously?




THIS is how you're going to spend your life?

THIS is what you're going to declare over yourself?




WAKE UP.

GROW UP.

STOP being such a f*cking baby.

(Sorry for the language, mom, there's no better adjective for this topic).




These are the same people asking, “Why are you so sweet?” or
“How are you filled with rainbows and unicorns all the time?”




The truth is, I come off as sweet because that's how I want to present myself to the world.




Guess what.
Life IS hard for everyone.
It's a challenge.
We're meant to learn lessons in order to grow.
I have just as many bad days as you. I have lost just as many people to cancer and disease, have just as much debt, anxiety, worries, plain old bad stuff that happens to me too.




Life is what you make of it.
You create your own reality.

If you want to be dead inside and cut your precious time on this beautiful earth short (it's already short enough) then by all means go on and continue your sad, depressing, “woe-is-me,” negativity, feeding off of your sick-and-tired self.




OR...




You can get back on that horse (or bike) and make the decision to change your life for the better.

Allow your heart to grow.



For the love of all things, please stop declaring “death” over your soul.
