Trigger Warning - Low mood, depression, pain, suicide, past hurts, written about with the intent of encouragement  Disclaimer - As always I still recommend seeking professional advice as to the first course of action if you are feeling low or depressed. All advice given is from experience only. Lambi Says - Don't let depression or anxiety beat you up you got th i s, fight to win! If you have read my last few posts you will know that as of late I have been suffering from depression.  Yet again Jet and his friends had me in a cage that was locked from the inside.  (Jet is the name I give to depression because when it shows up for me it is usually jet black) Sometimes life throws things at us that we really don't expect. When this happens we have to decide if we are going to retreat within ourselves or get out there and serve others.   It can be the hardest thing to push yourself to think of others when you're feeling really low, but it's the very thing we need to ...

Moving on and moving forward,  they are the same thing, right? Well actually no. Once you have chosen to see life as seasonal and started chasing fulfilment rather than happiness, the next step toward success is moving on from moving on. Let me explain. Moving on gives the impression you’ve buried the past and now you're going to build something new on its grave and pretend it never happened. Moving forward is acknowledging the past, for what it is , learning what you can, and then deciding that it doesn’t define you and your still going to move forward with your dreams and in life because nothing can hold you back. You won’t give anything permission to do so. Good on you! You can move on from things and still not be over it, but hiding from your feelings is not going to help you . If you bury half-open wounds then poison will fester beneath your scars. You gotta make sure that you’re not running from your yourself. Trust me it’s exhausting and only leads to making laps around th...

People that chase happiness will never be happy for very long because it's more about the chase than the object in question. Happiness is an emotion, it comes and goes because life is up and down.  Chasing happiness usually leads to unhealthy people with dead dreams and more debt then they know what to do with! I am not suggesting that the desire to be happy or even the pursuit of happiness is wrong . What I am against is, the idea that life is all about happiness, that we should be aiming for it in every area of our lives and if we don't somehow that makes us a failure and if we can't hold on to happiness, well then that is even worse! Happiness is an emotion, it is fleeting, I like to think of it like a butterfly, here one moment, gone the next.   Chasing happiness will never bring fulfilment, it will lead to frustration.  You would be much better of chasing fulfilment. It is possible to be  fulfilled but not happy.  Chasing fulfilment requires work...

The nature of what I am about to share with you, is not something that anyone else should bare the weight of, since this is my decision, based on my own convictions. I am sorry this sounds so dramatic, but anyone who knew the old me in person will know, drama and Hayley Esther kind of go hand in hand. I admit to this fully, and it is for the purpose of leaning into a language I have taught those that love and support me, to expect from me, that I now choose to make my exist in a dramatic fashion ...
