#life101

Is it the ability to withstand life’s struggles or is the attitude you have while going through them? Is it the will and the want to do better? Is it the character traits that people have that enables them to not give up? Or maybe someone that depends on them?

Whatever it is, whatever you may be going through, or whatever is keeping you strong: KEEP GOING.

Resilience is the highest form of survival.

Don’t allow yourself to fall or fail, no matter how many “no’s”, how many roadbloacks, how many struggles and “rock bottoms” you face. If you work hard enough and you have a game plan, you can do this.

And MOST importantly: when you finally get to where you’re going: enjoy the moment but don’t ever get too comfortable. Make sure you plan ahead and promise yourself to never make sure YOU are the cause of your own “downfall”. You deserve to win.

You would think it would be the constant bickering or the sweet “I love you” in the morning but I’ve got something way more than that..

My reply could be summed up into one beautiful word,

Codependency

I’ve always forced myself to be completely self sufficient..

Even if that meant having things that may work for a short time, but never for the long haul

I got a creaky window, I can spray WD40 on it but it will still leak when it rains

and the cold air will most definitely pierce the heated home

But instead, I gave myself the pleasure of allowing my husband to care for me, to fix the damn window cause I couldn’t

To make me see that I didn’t have to continue to adjust, that I could one day wake up, and the silly window wouldn’t have to cross my mind because he’d taken care of it

Codependency doesn’t have to be negative..

I desperately need my husband, I’m truly dependent upon him for so much, and I do feel as if my life would have not near as much purpose without him
