September Release: Suicide/Depression Awareness

Because September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness month, and because the rates of depression and suicide continue to grow, I will dedicate this month's post to these topics. I will use this release to list ways those who may be entertaining thoughts of, or dealing with, either of these states of mind, can address them, and how those who may know others in this situation can provide help. Oftentimes, we aren't even aware when those around us, or those we care about, are in need of assistance, or feel alone, and that is scary to think about. One day you're laughing with them, and the next day, God forbid, you see a letter of goodbye on their social media (hypothetical scenario). There are things we can all do to help mitigate this problem and proactively stop additional cases from arising in the future. Let's start taking this more seriously and do something about it.

Where Do You Draw the Line in a Relationship?

Growing up, I used to think being nice was the best way to live life. You know, you put good into the world, and good things happen to you- you reap what you sow. However, as time progressed, I realized that, ironically, being nice can also end up causing you harm. There were people who saw that good things happen when you’re being nice- for them. The harsh truths I had to learn were that sometimes you can be too nice to people; some individuals will run all over you if you allow them to; and there are people out there that take advantage of the kindness of others. This has played a huge role in why relationships become very unbalanced.

August Release: Addressing Unbalanced Relationships

This month's post will be centered on the topic of relationships that are unbalanced; relationships (friendships, work relationships, partner relationships, etc) where there seems to be one person who is more of a taker, and the other person is more of a giver. Typically, this kind of circumstance arises when the taker is taking advantage of the giver. It could start off as unconscious or subconscious actions, but eventually, it becomes a conscious habit. We will discuss how to address this situation before it becomes a problem, and, if you are already dealing with it, how get out of it. The world can be a selfish place, and there are some people out there who will take everything you have to give if you allow them to; so let's learn how to take a stand.

Expect the post to be released next week!

3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

I know this is late, but on July 10, 2018, my blog turned 3! This is a huge accomplishment as these 3 years are reminiscent of my continued dedication to sharing my messages with you all, the readers, and my commitment to impacting the lives of others on a larger scale.

I just thank God for continuing to speak through me in my blog posts and using me to help change people's lives, and perspectives, for the better. I pray for many more years of successful writing, and for expansion of this blog in numerous ways. In Jesus's name I pray- Amen.

Thank you all for your continued support because having the motivation and drive to continue writing for my blog was only possible because of you all. Here's to 3 more years and beyond!
