DEAR SELF,
If you keep going backwards with the same people that God has intentionally removed from your life,
you will continue to stay stuck. There is no joy in being confused and unhappy. Get rid of old bad habits
and leave them where they belong. What is ment for you will be yours, learn to let go. DYSFUNCTION ISN'T LOVE.

SINCERELY,
SELF
Ya'll I ask for you to take a second and pray for me please. I have so much potential but I'm stuck and been stuck for a minute. I pray one of these days I wake up not afraid.....afraid of change. opportunities pass me by all the time, simply cuz I'm scared.....scared of the what if's. i'm letting life pass me by, getting a lil older with every day......why, cuz as an addict its easier to sick with what you know and what has " always" been there for you, then to actually try and change for the better because to do that you would need to put in EFFORT and some SELF DISCIPLINE. I don't like to FEEL nor do I like REALITY, cuz lets face it my life sucks in almost everyway. That's where drugs come in handy....gives you a false reality that your happy and for that exact moment, life is ok. Then you come down, and start to feel all those feelings and realize your life still sucks. Clearly, easy fix.... right? wrong, easier said then done. Any how I know what I got to do to get to where I wanna be in life....it's the first few steps i can't get past, once i get past those initial steps and I get my confidence back and I'm not so scared anymore, Imma do big things. But right now I'm wasting my life away. i guess please pray I get the little boost i need to start "living" again and feeling good about myself.....i don't wanna feel like this no more. Thank you (-;

I ask please that you not pray for me, but a close friend of mine that's really stuck between a rock and a hard place. She currently in an abusive (mentally, physically and emotionally) relationship. She is a very strong person...life has tested her, she's been through alot of stuff I couldn't even imagine going through. Clearly God ain't ready for her yet. I really look up to her and her fearless personality. The abuse is getting worse, and I see her slowly but surely giving up on life.It KILLS me to see her giving up on herself, cuz I know all the struggles she has overcome in life that made her who she is today: strong willed, diligent, tough, determined woman. I remind her all the time that God never gives you more than you can handle.most recently, even being as strong as she is, it's effecting her every way possible, 24 hours a day to where she is not in her right mind... i believe it's finialy hit a very crucial part, the innermost core of her being. She's so disappointed in herself for what she's become (she told herself she would NEVER EVER let herself become "that girl" in the never ending cycle of abuse). She's realizing she don't even know who she is anymore, she's lost her zest,spunk, vivacious. she's told me many of times, he's going to end up killing her....if she stays OR leaves or even drive her to kill herself! She feels it's a lose lose situation, as she would say " I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't". All I can do is be there for support when she most needs it but ultimately i can't make her decisions for her...for one I don't even know what I'd do if I was in her shoes, and for two, this is her battle God chose for her to fight, not mine . So I please ask you to pray that she doesn't give up on herself and real soon figures out what exactly she needs to do to escape the hell she's in now so she can feel free and true happiness like all of us want or strive for and a few of us have finally found. Thank you
