**Pro writing tip of the day**
Light that tunnel up. Are you afraid to get out of a job, relationship, friendship and is waiting for the "right time"
There is NEVER going to be a right time so have your character scared and mousey or.. and this is my choice as I've lived it...
Be brave, find your backbone and light that tunnel up themselves that they feel they are stuck in.
Then follow that fire out and into the life you want without fear.
Fear is an illusion.
PAIN AND RIDING OUT THE STORM
Our most radical changes in perspective often happen at the tail end of our worst moments. It's only when we feel intense pain that we're willing to look at our values and question why they seem to be failing us. We need some sort of existential crisis to take an objective look at how we've been deriving meaning in our life, and then consider changing course.
You could call it "hitting bottom" or "having an existential crisis". I prefer to call it "weathering the shitstorm."

Maybe you are in that place right now. Perhaps you're coming out of the most significant challenge of your life and are bewildered because everything you previously thought to be true and normal and good (ie. eat less/workout more, bad things don't happen to good people, life is fair, etc. ) has turned out to be the opposite.

Personally, I have been through many Shit storms in my life. Apparently, I like to learn lessons the hard way. When this happens, life turns you upside down, throws you against a wall and punches you in the face (at least that is what it feels like) and well, it sucks.
-
Pain sucks.
-
Yet, feeling the pain AND breathing through the pain is a part of the healing process. The pain is what pushes you to change.
-
Looking back, these were the times that I grew the most. Weathering the storms, made me make some BIG changes and I became better, stronger, and more resilient. Life may never be the same, but pain shifts your perspective, and once you get through the shit, you start to see the beauty in your growth.🌱

The shit is only the fertilizer, that is going to help you grow into a beautiful flower.
Lyric verse
"We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen and still."
Ed Sheeran - Photograph
Memories and photographs are more precious than you realise
I've been taking a lot of walks down memory lane lately, this song pretty much hits it.
One photo can take you right back to the moment it was taken. Much like music does.
Allow yourself to remember the amazing moments in time that photo captured, allow yourself the luxury of being back there, and press pause... just for a little while.
Cherish photographs and songs that you made wonderful memories with.
They are priceless, and in the end of this fleeting life memories are what we leave with ❤
I was thinking of photographs and just how true this stunning lyric is.... a photo captures a moment in time that can never be taken away from you, that moment can never be changed.
You may or may regret that moment that is has been frozen in time
It lasts forever, you are literally caught in that time and it's so poignant and beautiful when you really think of it.
A quick lesson in History and science...
You know in the history of mankind there have been belief in over 10,000 Gods? The Egyptians, The Romans, The Greeks. The Vikings believed they went to Valhallah with the god Odin as long as the warrior died with his sword, if he dies without his sword, he would be cursed to roam the darkness forever a spirit?
Do you know any of mankind's history and culture? Do you know of Physics and Science?
Mankind's history is steeped in rich records of amazing Empires building and falling, inventions, progress, connection and evolution. Google King Leonidis the Greek and William Wallace who stood up to Tyranny against overwhelming odds. Google The Roman Empire, The Chinese Dynasties, The Viking history and The Egyptian history. Educate yourself.
Google Richard Dawkins!!
Learn about physics and science.
Read about the Neanderthals and their beleif in animal gods, The Cromagnons and their belief in in The Mother. That's pre history education, the dawn of mankind evolving.
That's science.
In 1859 Charles Darwin published The Origin of the species. Evolution by natural selection. Google it.
Issac Newton proved Gravity... do you know what gravity is? Drop something and THATS why it falls. A plane stays in the sky because of the propulsion of jet engines, if it did not have them it would simply fall to the ground THATS GRAVITY.
Watch YouTube videos of astronauts in the space stations in zero gravity... nothing drops to the floor it floats around the room.
Educate yourself with what I've already given you and a whole new amazing world will open up for you that's there for the taking to learn, and absorb the immortality of history and science.
My University Honors degrees are in my behavior and knowledge not a piece of paper that awards me those letters before and after my name. It's in my learning of the world and my ability to take it all in and able to cite history, physics, science, laws. This all helps my writing. Take what you want from it, take creative licence write a story with knowledge.
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat
Evolve!!! Species of animals that are no longer here did not evolve and because they did not evolve, they died out. - Charles Darwin.
I was brought up to never go down without a fight. My backbone grew early.
I've never been a fence sitter. I choose my side and fight for it. If you find yourself in doubt, or afraid, turn that spine into backbone and bravery and stand up, belive in yourself and fight!
you want something stop letting fear hold you back.
you need something - get it
you're afraid of rejection - be brave.
someone treating you badly - burn that bridge.
soul search and you will find who you are, and find how strong you are.
stand up and be counted. chase your dreams, fight for yourself and your loved ones.
NEVER be a scared fence sitter. Say what you mean, and mean what you say, and back it up with action.
Let your voice be heard.
Don't die with regrets, die a warrior!!
