Winter months have always been my darkest..
Christmas comes and goes..
Another new year alone.
I have some negativity surrounding me. I’m reaching, seeking, learning, fighting, overcoming, surviving, and rising above. Being alone doesn’t bother me, but feeling alone does. It’s not as often, but it’s there. I feel alone when I’m misunderstood. I feel alone when I cannot speak my mind my feelings, and my heart. Even in my most confident times of life, I struggle.
It makes me uncomfortable at the thought of someone showing me pity. It annoys me that anyone, more so someone specific thinks I play the victim. Because more than anything, I want everyone to see how I fought, rose, grew, and share my experience to help others grow. The way I share, talk, behave has transformed. I continue to evolve and I hope to never stop growing.
If you see someone who is vulnerable, your calling is not to sway them. Your calling is to show compassion, and give them the space they need to be raw and heal. You can offer them advice as long as you can seperate yourself from the relationship, and the advice is purely for them and not for you to gain. Again, if you know someone going through a dark time, offering an ear to listen is more appropriate than a bed to cuddle.
Check yourself. Relate to someone’s emotions, it’s called empathy. Don’t compare yourself but share how you have overcome those types of feelings. Ignoring the feelings, saying feelings are temporary is ignoring the root. Our feelings in our gut tell our brain how to react. Can your brain overreact? Yes it can! But accepting those feelings. Talking through them. Acknowledging them and WHY you are feeling them is how you learn to deal with them. Making a conscious decision after thinking about it and committing to that Decision is how you move on from them.

I’m sensitive. I’m brave. I’m vulnerable. I’m strong. I’m bold. I am empathetic. I am Passionate!

I am a human being and my name is Kimberly.
