When shit gets tough, you have to Figure it out It don’t matter if you can do it or not Figure it out Feeling like everyone, the world is against you Figure it out Feeling weak, unable, unstable, lost Still Figure it out Weather it’s the highs or the lows Figure it out Smile on your face Or Tears in your eyes Figure it out No mater what Figure it out No matter what direction you take Figure it out What life is about Making a way we have No choice but too Figure it out Right?
Have you ever had those moments when you just sit back and think about your life? You think of everything and wonder how you got to where you are in life right now. You think about the good and tough times, and you think of if it went a different way, how would your life be? If this did not happen or that did not happen. Have you ever stopped for a moment and questioned yourself? You question the sacrifices you have made; you question your thought process and everything you have done. Sometimes we cannot help but take those trips down memory lane, sometimes just to see how far we have come or to think of happy times. Maybe to keep yourself in check.
That is me today I do not know why just was thinking about my past and where I am at today. I am blessed, honestly did not think I would make it this far. It has been a journey, and I feel like, within the last couple of years, I have become a better version of myself, and it was a freaking process, and it was hard. Some days it still is hard. I used to question why I was still here in this world, why I was put here. I questioned so much in my life from childhood, education, lifestyles, and life in general. I do not miss the bad, horrible, and all the ugly shit at all, though it made me stronger seriously can do without it and hate thinking about that stuff. It pops up, though. Whatever still healing here. Anyways thinking of how far I have come, and I must say I am satisfied. I have become content with life and happy with my writing when years ago, I was afraid to do so. had so many ideas and was scared to put my work out there, so I am happy that I decided to do so. It is time I really make it happen for my family and myself. Continue to work my hardest, get this book done and continue to be the better version of myself. I really need to stop doing so much questioning myself or maybe reflecting. I do not know just thinking tonight and thinking about my whole life sometimes, I do not know why shit just pops up in my head, and I get frustrated with everything. And then I try to keep myself busy, and sometimes that does not work. Life is a process, I tell you. I know I am not the only one, of course, it is this thing we call life. Life happens, and there are obstacles. The process of life. Me being me and overthinking…… Of course
Life, Life Life……
Have you ever taken that trip? Down memory lane. Have you just thought about the unknown? Thought what if? Or ask yourself why something happened? Are you an overthinker as well?
Blessings and Love.
Thank you for reading.
More from Ray’Elaine.. Thank you for all the support.
This thing called parenting. Whew can be challenging work at times. I feel like from time to time it is a big challenge. Being a parent, you must always be alert and aware of anything and or anyone around your kids. You have to have those eyes and ears wide open. As a parent you are first a safeguard, a protector loving and caring. Second a provider yes kids are not cheap lol. You have to be a protector and be able to take care of and give your kids the necessities needed in life. Third, you are a teacher as they get older it is the parent’s job to teach their kids the rights and wrongs of the world. Teach them to be respectful, smart. It is the parent’s job to help their child with education needs. Keeping them learning new things, keep them engaged. Fourth the parent is a therapist hearing and seeing what our kids go through it is up to us the parents to steer them in the right direction. Give them loving and encouraging words of wisdom, letting them know you love them. Kids have to know that they can come to their parents with any problem and feel comfortable that the parent will be there and help. Fifth you are a chef and a housekeeper lol. Feeding them and supplying food and clothing and of course from time to time the toys and extra things that they need. Also supplying a way to pay for everything including education. Cleaning up after them until they can for themself and sometimes you still will be doing it as life goes on. Sixth you are somewhat of a punching bag; I don’t mean physical beating or anything violent. I mean that the parent takes on all problems and have no choice but to. Dealing with our kids’ attitudes and sometimes behavioral problems. It is up to us to help our children along the way and sometimes that means we the parents are the bad guys. Kids often feel we are too strict or needy but of course, we want nothing but the best for them. Especially those teenage years. Lol, demanding work I tell you. My son is in sixth grade and his thing is the class clown phase which is challenging because it gets him in trouble. Like I have said above parents are all six things plus more. Most important job, I think.
It can be hard from day to day. As a parent sometimes there is no downtime, time for us with working, cooking, cleaning, and making sure the kids are good we are tapped out. Even with the challenges, the troubled times it is something that I will not change. I feel like becoming a parent has changed me for the good. It is hard because they are of course my first concern, and I cannot easily make decisions like I use to. It puts you on high guard. Parenting keeps you on your toes and with your kids being upfront and honest with you it can be kind of chaotic, yeah sometimes they think they are grown lol. Still will not change it. Parenting is a job that is never-ending.
To all parents out there stay strong no matter what. Hold on to those precious moments and memories, try your hardest to always talk to your kids, and understand how they are feeling, what they are going through. Parents often want to shelter their kids keep them close by not sharing with them the ways of the world. I feel as kids grow it is important for parents to be honest with them, teach them well. This thing called parenting is sometimes easy and sometimes hard. Shout out again to the parents keep your head up and be strong during those challenging times. Our kids are sometimes all we have and vice versa.
My feelings tonight just staring at my kids thinking they are growing too fast lol. I love every minute of it. Thankful and grateful. How do you feel about Parenting? Do you like kids? Do you feel it is a challenge raising kids?
Do you believe in karma? When you think about it what comes to mind?
I believe in it. I do believe that the bad that you put out can come back around. Maybe not how you did it, but it comes. Sometimes it can be brutal. Some stuff that is done deserves consequences. I feel people don’t care too much though because they still do a lot of bad and feel that they are invisible Also think that karma can be brought upon those you love for your sins or badness. No, I don’t think that karma comes around for those who did bad. Those who do good have good karma coming their way. Helping others and being a genuine person can do some good in your life, you should always be kind to others. I do feel that some things that have happened to me were karma from close loved ones I don’t know it is just a thought or maybe my fate. You know the saying “Karma is a bitch” I believe it. Lol
Karma is the reason I try to do no harm to others. No scamming, spamming, lying, or cheating. I prefer to be upfront and honest and try not to lead people on and do wrong by them. I like to treat those I meet with respect until they show me otherwise. I guess there who people in this world who like to inflict pain on others with no regard. It is irritating but you can’t control what other people do. Karma can happen at any time most likely when we least expect it. Just crazy how this world can be cruel and unfair, but hey that is life and karma is a part of it.
Karam is a real thing the good and the bad. Well, I think so. Thoughts?
Just thinking out loud. That word Karma….
Agree, or not??
Do you think revenge and karma are the same?
Karma: destiny or fate, following as effect from cause. One’s actions of cause and effect
