To My “Nice Girls”

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

I heard it all too often that I’m nice, too nice and I shouldn’t be this nice because people would take advantage or walk all over me.  I heard it and I heard it a lot. I recently got another reminder.  So this is for my kind hearted nice girls. 

You are jewels and not because you are able to remain and contain your good character in the mist of a pessimistic, narcissistic, and selfish world but because you remain true to who you want to be to others.  None-conforming to the hurt that I’m sure you may have endured, you still contain the strength and persistence to be kind and approachable.  

You are not weak.  I repeat you are not weak! It takes more to be kind and “nice” and sweet especially when we are often encountered by people who are not much so what you are.  

Do not change and let the negativity  turn you bitter.  Nice does not mean gullible or naive.  Nice does not mean dependent or ignorant.  Nice does not mean you allow people to take advantage.  I rather not even use the word nice.  Its simplifies the character trait few people are able to contain in most hostile environments.  

Maintain your humanity.  Do not let people take advantage while still keeping your cool.  Don’t let others take your peace of mind, but also know when to hold your ground and fight back.  You can still remain who you are while defending yourself and your sanity.  Know when to end things.

Being “nice” is not a bad trait.  It shows that you still want to resonate peace and goodness in often broken and hurt spaces you encounter.

You are strong and independent.  The world needs more people like you.

Kindness is Not a Weakness

Overthinking Kills Happiness

  • If its out of your control don’t overthink.
  • If you can’t do anything about it don’t overthink.
  • If it’s something you’re waiting for don’t overthink.
  • If it’s about someones actions or feelings toward you don’t overthink.
  • If the situation or circumstance isn’t getting better don’t overthink.
  • Let it go don’t overthink.
  • It’s not your fault don’t overthink.
  • You did your best don’t overthink.
  • Let life happen don’t overthink.
  • Don’t worry or create unrealistic scenarios in your head don’t overthink.
  • Don’t overthink.
  • Don’t overthink.
  • Don’t overthink.

The worse thing you can do is make yourself unhappy or miserable by overthinking.  Just let things be.  Stay calm.  Keep moving on.  Don’t look back or overthink things that don’t need extra thought.  It’s okay to leave it as it is.

From Now On…

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

Please love yourself today, and everyday after.  Find value in who you are and strength in your own character.  Talk positive about your body and your life.  Nothing will ever be what we want ideally, but its what we have.  Appreciate the opportunity of life, relationships, and love.

Appreciate all that you have gone through and don’t be scared of the future to come, the stuff thats ahead.  

Be happy.  Smile. Be brave. Be honest with yourself.  Change things you don’t like.  Don’t give anyone your happiness and work on your own masterpiece.  The interaction between your heart and your mind.  Peace of mind.  Peace of heart. Peace of body. Peace of soul.

Work to focus on yourself and keep your eyes on internal growth and prosperity.  Keep calm and keep forward.  Don’t live in the past or worry about the future. 

Work is due today, right now on your happiness and self-appreciation.  

You are needed.

You are wanted.

You are important.

You are powerful.

You are an individual.

To Whoever Doesn’t Think They’re Good Enough 

I would say its been a hard day.  Not because anything bad has happened, but because I’ve constantly been thinking.  Thinking too much about stuff.  About me.  About everything.  About everyone.  Situations.  Circumstances. So I decided that I have to write something. This is to those who think they’re not good enough (I’m also talking directly to myself).

Don’t lie to yourself.  You’re more then capable and worthy of anything.  Anything you want.  Anything you need is already yours.  All thats in your way is you and work, but work can be done with effort, determination and motivation. You are the only one who can believe you can and reach whatever is it you’re striving for.

You are good enough.

You are good enough for that love, bravery, compassion, and care you might not be fully giving yourself the credit for.  Believe with one instant thought that you can and go for it.  Not to impress anyone, or to get anything out of it, but to show yourself that you’re good enough and those negative thoughts of can’t obviously were hindrances. 

You are good enough.

You are good enough to apply for things and get it.  If things don’t work out it has nothing to do with your capabilities.  You are needed some place else.  Try again.  Don’t for one second give up or stop believing in who you are.

You are good enough and will never be less than what you see yourself doing or achieving.

As a matter of fact, you are better than good enough.  You are overly capable and able.

To the Girl Who Hates Her Body 

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

You are amazing. Your body is your own so love it with all of you. All the curves or lack of, all the beauty marks, all the blemishes, scars, and pimples. All the dimples and hairs. Your complextion, your radiant complextion is all you!

Love it all. You are the most beautiful you will ever be because you can’t escape all that is you. There is only one you so appreciate and value the individuality you’ve been gifted with.
No one can be who you are so bless the world with your individule, courageous, brave and majestic beauty.
Your beauty is your own so never compare your beauty to anyone elses. Their beauty is theirs and yours is yours.

Wear your beauty like a crown of glory, like a gold metal because you win every day. Everyday you wake up to see beauty that is only yours.

Don’t let anyone in any circumstance, situation, or moment confuse you into thinking that beauty has a standard and looks like one thing. A flowers beauty is not a butterflys beauty or a mountains beauty. Your beauty is only yours and you are the only one who has the authority to say anything about it.

You are untouchable and powerful. Don’t let your eyes and mind deceive you. You are the only one with your type of beauty so wear it because theres only one of it, one of you.

Beauty is all that makes up you. Your recipe. Everything put together to make you the masterpiece. Everything thats you is intentional.

Beauty has no standard, no limit, no face, or definition. You don’t need supplies to be beautiful.

Making Sense: Toxic Phrases

​

Joel Osteen Quote 

There are just some things that have happened or that have been said to me that live with me everyday and haunt me at the latest hours of the night

“You are the weakest link”

“I’m disappointed in you”

“I love her more than you”

“I don’t want to put in any effort for you”

“Nah, she ugly”

“You weren’t competative enough”

“Theres nothing I can do to help you”

“You’re a dub”

“I think you should change your profile picture because you are confusing people”

“You are affecting your family”

“Stop being discouraged”

“Get over it”

“People are watching you”

“That’s a sin”

“..but in the Bible it says”

“….going to hell”

“Don’t you want to go to heaven?”

“What happened? You can do better” 

“You can’t do that”

“You’re not supposed to hang out with those type of people”

“I don’t care what you think”

“Oh, I didn’t invite you because…”

“You think too much…”

“Stop saying you’re depressed…”

“God is watching you…”

“Relax its not that serious”

While some of these phrases may seem harmless and others in need of more context, they have been a guide to how I think about myself, how I view situations and circumstances, and how I approach new opportunities.  These phrases have been a hindrance to my mental growth and well being. 

In order to take away from things that have been said that may have scarred and affected how you think, you have to use them as fuel.  Let them scab up and fall off of how you perceive who you are. Use them as excess motivation.

Let what is said to you build you up even if it hurt you.  Let it build your confidence, bravery, power and self-image.  Turn every phrase into a positive, a tactic that can’t halt your progress.

Everyone has those phrases of people who drilled a perception in their head,  use them.  Make them amo.  Make them “I heard that before” phrases that don’t bother you. Move above and beyond.  Move forward.
