Day by Day

Hey there, it’s Lys...it’s been a minute. Ya know just got caught up a little bit,  trying to figure out this game of life we play. I’m in the middle of trying to figure out where I’m going to live, what I’m going to do with my career, trying to make time for everyone... trying to make everyone happy. But ya know what’s important? Self happiness, self awareness, and self acknowledgment. Let me repeat this one... self acknowledgement. Has someone ever told you how great your doing? Because whether or not you believe it, you are doing GREAT. You know how I know? Well, you are still here on earth reading this blog and still trying to defeat this battle that life throws at you. And if that’s not some hardcore dedication, I don’t know what is. 

So I’m going to tell you. You are great and you are doing a phenomenal job at whatever it is your doing. Give yourself some recognition. You are still here. You are surviving, you are figuring it out. You’re not suppose to have all the answers you know. If you did, you would be the Messiah. But on a real note, there is a reason why you don’t have all the answers and everything all figured out. That is the beauty of life. Experiencing everything that is happening when it is happening. All the emotions...feelings...let them happen.  Experience them. Feel them. That’s why we have them. Don’t push it away because you think you have to. Just because we’re now adults doesn’t mean we have to suck it up and bury our emotions deep down, because we don’t. Obviously there’s a time and place...but let it out. 

Take a step back and remember this is your life. YOURS. No one else’s. Of course we love and care for others... we should. But remember to surround yourself with people who give that love and care right back to you. You deserve it and you deserve some damn credit okay? Life isn’t made to be easy. Life is life man. Ride the wave, take it day by day. One thing at a time. The small things... the small accomplishments... acknowledged them. Own them...because YOU accomplished it. If you take anything from this, take this...stop searching for the answers of life because your not going to find it. Just experience it.

Together We Can

This is for those who cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am right there with you. You feel like there is no point, right? Or there is nothing to look forward to, nothing to add value to, or maybe you feel like you don't want to turn to a loved when you feel lost in your own mind. I am there too. You can call me Jess, and I am here to tell you the cliché, you are not alone.  You have probably been told a million times this year, "This year sucks for everyone" and you think to yourself "Sure, but I am going through it." Those words have been replaying in my head for months now. Yes, I have a job. Yes, I am paying my bills on time. The question is, am I enjoying living paycheck to paycheck and nothing to look forward to because I can't afford anything. The answer is absolutely NOT. Guess what, there is nothing to do about it besides try to control the things you can control. It is true, everyone is struggling right now. I feel alone too. I feel li...

Lys's Sneak Peak

By
                                          Alright so I’m here... finally made it here. At this point in my life where I’m living the city girl dream, where I’m a full-time working adult, and where I’m partnered with one of my good ole college pals and writing this introductory blog post... WHY? Throwback for a second, when I was in high school I wanted to be a motivational speaker. Yes, me wanting to go out there and inspire the world... BUT at that time in my life I felt like I didn’t experience anything THAT serious to be a motivational speaker. Then I graduated high school and the tables turned.  Now, before I go in and tell you how and why the tables turned, just know no matter what I’ve been through, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way because I wouldn’t have ended up living the life I’m living today. Now, my story isn’t insanely drastic, but it’s a STORY let me tell yo...

For you, Dad

Photo captured 12/21/2008 December 23rd, 2008. You were shoveling snow, The white slushy snow.  You expressed once, "my back hurts"  Smoking your last cigarette of the night, In the cold, dark garage.  You expressed twice, "my back hurts"  Finally saying, "goodnight" and went up to bed. December 23rd, 2008. The day I found you lying on your back, gasping for air. The day I was told you wouldn't be coming home.  December 23rd, 2008.  The day I lost one of my favorite humans.  You were funny, you were kind, and you always knew what to say.  Your laugh.  The laugh that put a smile on everyone's face.  All the music,  All the cleaning,  All the Sunday morning breakfasts,  Everything.  I wish I could call you, ask you for advice, just hear your voice one last time.  December 23rd, 2008. The last time we said "goodnight". -- Thank you for 10 years of parenting. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for your hard work, ...
