As I find myself in the pursuit of happiness &  hanging on a silver lining of hope.

For those who don’t know the metaphor of optimism silver lining is:

a consoling aspect of a difficult situation; “every cloud has a silver lining”; “look on the bright side of it”.

As human beings naturally depending solely on love and our better half to make us happy. We find ourselves at huge risk of being unhappy. Being happy by yourself and with yourself is a shield of protection for the future, because nothing, nothing  absolutely nothing … ever lasts and the person you will end up with in the end, well that will be yourself…

Something that keeps me a float is the taste of my sweet sweet freedom. One of my biggest accomplishments in life has always been to be free. To work hard, pay my own bills, not depend on anyone but myself…

To be the woman I AND only I want to be. Not for anyone else, but for myself. I am me. I am free.

I’ve always had HUGE DREAMS, and BIG life plans that have always made me driven and ambitious…

It’s all about me… right this very moment. I’m going to be selfish and thats…. okay.

I have the amazing power to become the woman I only dreamed of becoming… and that is my silver lining. 

So as I sit here contemplating my life and what it has become, I couldn’t be more proud of the woman who I am today.

I have suffered, re joiced, lived, and died all at the same time… I have watched myself shattered and broken down into pieces and picked myself right back up and put myself back together… there is no greater delight than the strength that comes from great pain…

When life comes to feel mundane, I remind myself of my silver lining.

I have the power, to become “ME” …

and so the journey begins…
