ly to whom we matter posted on april 22 2018 by abbie lu reply my life matters my life matters when i spend time with those it matter to it a as simple and as complicated as that which is why those who matter don t mind and those who mind don t matter is such a powerful and amazing quote we all matter that should not be up for debate even if it sadly is please my friends stop asking why or if you matter you do and if you feel as though you don t i believe one of two things has happened you have either isolated yourself away from those to whom you matter even if you did not intend to or you have chosen to spend time with people who do not value you enough where there is a will there is a way etc etc i find when i spend time with people that value me deeply not superficially e g poof what do ya need those that see me as a recognized respected and important part of life i suddenly feel as though life has meaning and purpose and i understand or at least begin to understand why i am here however when i waste my time around people who suck my energy who want things from me but don t actually value me i feel depleted vulnerable and often useless when i spend time around people who think so little of me that they hurt me to boast themselves or use me or any part of me including my flaws as a means to boost their own self worth and or jump start their own success i suddenly or slowly begin to feel as though i am not important or valuable that may seem silly spelled out and worded that way but it is not silly it is real so often we give of ourselves so much and that is beautiful we care and that is important however we also need and that is also beautiful and important it is human i personally have been afraid to need because i think it makes me appear weak or less than or not good enough etc or because i m afraid if i have a need i can t meet within myself then i will be left feeling empty i fail to see how essential it is to life because of my fear need is what facilitates and necessitates relationship by needing other people and people needing us it creates a drive to seek out companionship and communion as important as that is it is equally important to ensure that the communion is one that is healthy and life giving to all those affected by it so please ask yourself and assess yourself look at your relationships or lack there of are you choosing to spend time around people that you love admire care about and or respect if not do them and yourself a favor disengage from those that you do not and re engage with those who you do otherwise you could be hurting them as much as they are hurting you on the flip side how much of your time do you spend with people that value you your body your personality and your mind thoughts who care for you respect you love you this does not mean perfect behavior behavior is a fickle thing what it does mean is that the people who make up the majority of your time and life view you with admiration love and or respect and have a desire to see you happy and healthy and are willing to help you achieve it love and all those beautiful words that we associate with it is not perfect but it should at least be intentional surround yourself with people who lift you up when you are down encourage you when you need it push you when you need a boost or a kick in the rear but more than anything spend time with those that unconditionally see your value truly and who never question or allow you to question it s worth this is usually easier said than done i know this but that is why i say it so that any person out there who is struggling with self esteem or issues with self worth might stumble upon it and start on a path toward discovering and cherishing who they are maybe begin to practice these means of holding on to their value by seeking out people who empower them and then maybe hopefully they can grow in their potential for love and hope we are all valuable find and cherish those that know your worth share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on pinterest opens in new window pinterest share on reddit opens in new window reddit

abbie lu reply so many people are being mean to each other right now because of the vegas tragedy i get it we are frustrated scared and feel helpless those things make us edgy and desperate for

comment loving peaceful words or say nothin at all my soul aches over this tragedy such sadness and loss one thing we should all be able to agree on is that kindness is never a bad choice be kind

the work i normally do must be lauded when transferred to my husband it seems like a small annoyance but its significance looms larger gemma hartley harper bazaar emotional labor by gemma hartley the unpaid job men still don t understand this article really touches on an important and overlooked issue an issue that if properly addressed instead of attacked could really help relationships those applicable achieve more peace the author s explanations and insight are on point and i love that she does so with respect and understanding toward men not to say she does so perfectly this is not about the character of men it s about women desperately needing and requesting a partnership with the men in their lives lets not make it a battle and instead try to understand the needs of one another in their reality and not in ways that are self serving and or easy emotional labor is a very real and misunderdtood thing nag crazy pmsing bitchy controlling the famous hysterical and more are all words that women have been and are labeled with when they are simply no longer able to cope with doing too much on their own be her ally try to understand and work toward a true partnership and i believe any good woman will do the same for you share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on pinterest opens in new window pinterest share on

condition posted on september 27 2017 by abbie lu 1 no one is without bias however small the percentage may or may not be and no one is perfect in the practice of their beliefs and views what is important is that we continue to have the right to hold different and opposing beliefs and views and continue to have the right to practice them this is what motivated my recent thoughts with all beliefs whether spirtual political or religious etc there are extremists who tend to make others who practice those same ideas look bad those actions are also almost always used either out of context or in a negative way against opposing sides it s just easy ammo fear can make people think and do silly stupid and unreasonable things this is not an excuse but few if any are without fault as a country there are devisive actions and words happening on all sides it s unfortunate but fighting over who is the most bias or who is wrong or who is prejudice etc just feeds into that cycle maybe it s a cycle that can never be broken maybe it s just too engrained in our human nature but i personally hope not i hope one day we will find a way to as a whole respectfully disagree and then work toward a common ground realizing that we can never all think the same way and that acceptance rather than conversion is the best way to stop division hey here s to lofty dreams and stardust share this

freedom human rights nation national anthem peaceful protest politics prejudice protest religion thoughts usa views 1 reply right and respect posted on september 26 2017 by abbie lu reply i don t really have strong opinions on the take a knee deal so please do not mistake my intentions here however it is everyone s responses to it that frustrate and unnerve me respect is apparently a relative word which clearly only means something to individuals when something someone else does fails to meet with their personal or political agenda respect seems like a good strong word to use but it just sounds silly when people did not take the time or energy with much more severe important matters to care about it until someone decided to quietly protest now all the sudden respect matters this people demonize of all things we as a society disrespect constantly this is what we find value in drawing attention to and standing against i pesonally dont care about the nfl so maybe my opinion doesn t matter but to all the people who are no longer gonna watch or support a team oh well some will stop watching because of it and some will probably start watching because of it we all should have rights the same right and all those human rights should be respected let the person without sin cast the first stone the world is full of double standards but two wrongs don t make a right etc so let me make it clear i am not justifying or commending how the nfl itself is handling things they definetly show double standards no questions i am however saying that a persons right to peaceful protest and to freedom of speech and all of their rights are much more important and signifigant than whether or not someone else likes it not liking someone acting on their rights does not make it disrespectful or illegal again my frustration is with people saying that a quiet protest is disrespectful just because they dont like it or view things the same this post is not about supporting the cause of the person kneeling i simply believe he has the right to do so so many people choose extremely disruprive and disrespectful ways of protesting and whether or not i believe in their cause i don t believe not standing for our anthem is one share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on pinterest opens in new window pinterest share on
