I’m working through things and experiencing others and the pain won’t last, but the benefits will. The reason why my body is sore is because I am living. Using the strips for an hour actually worked, but has left my teeth more sensitive than an exhausted toddler, as I painfully drink water and eat salad.Īlthough I could sit here and complain because I’m at work on a Monday and have all of this going on, I’m actually grateful. Yes, I know it says to only leave them on for 30 minutes, but honestly, my teeth looked worse to me since using the Crest whitening strips than before. Along with the back pain, hip pain, knee pain, and now head pain, I also over- whitened my teeth last night. With that being said, I woke up with a tiny but painful bruise on the right side of my forehead. I suppose this is why people don’t often rearrange their rooms, because they might be used to a wall being where a bedside table now resides. Last night, I successfully whacked my head off my bedside table. In fact, not one person matters more than you do in your own life and that will never change.Īlways moving forward in the next best possibly way. Stop shoving yourself in a corner and basically telling yourself repeatedly that you don’t matter, because you do. This week my one and only goal is this: Stop making other people your main priority. As long as we are honest with people, then we can have people around us who love us honestly because they know who we truly are. If we only spend our time talking about other people then no one can actually dislike us, right?īut then we relinquish a huge gift that we have in this world: knowing who actually loves us for us. I think when it comes down to it, we use other people as our security blankets because we are so afraid of being rejected and not wanted. If people don’t like something about you, then they have all the right to live their life how they choose. There isn’t anything wrong with feeling how you’re feeling right now nor is there anything wrong with you, period. We can’t live our lives like this because then we simply are not living our lives, but other people are technically living our lives for us. If they were doing good, then my life was going great. If they were doing bad, then obviously I was doing poorly. Rather than actually saying what was going on within me I used all the people in my life as a safety net. I didn’t mention anything about me. If my friend asked me, “What’s new with you?” I would reply, “Well my boyfriend is…” or “my nephew is….” and so on. What I mean is that the entirety of my time with friends consisted of me talking about other people.

I mean this figuratively, because obviously I wasn’t just sitting there whacking myself with the back of my hand. I realized not too long ago that I could be hanging out with people, only to realize I had repeatedly slapped myself in the face for two whole hours. “What a waste of a life it is to be living it for someone else” -HJ
