I know it’s been a while. I’ve been working on a podcast, and my blogging and writing have taken a bit of a backseat. I have so much inside, so much to say, but at times, I’m not sure WHAT I want to say or even how to say it. You’d think I would know better by now.

Life gets in the way, though,  or does it? Are we the obstacles? Am I the obstacle? My answer to that is… sometimes, I guess. At least I’m moving forward,  I think. Being on the second half of my existence, gotta make these shots count…now more than ever.

Trauma,  abuse, mental health… all things I have suffered, and still suffer with now. I’m human, you’re human, and we all suffer human emotions and feelings. But no matter what life throws at you, it’s not a death sentence. It’s not over. If anything, it would be a catalyst for regrowth or rebirth. For me, it’s go time…clocks ticking.

I’m in control.  I am the king and ruler. What I can not control needs to be left alone and dealt with accordingly. We tend to take on more burdens than are really necessary and then beat ourselves up over it. No more. The sands of the hourglass sinking, depleting. Tick tock…rise up and rule.
