give them a hug, or a friendly smile.   No one can be happy all the time.  We are all human and we all have a raaaaannngggeeee of emotions that come and go, rise and fall :)

Ever feel like this?   You’re not alone … and more importantly YOU ARE NOT A SPECK OF DUST!   You are important. You matter.  What you think, feel, do, say, believe ALL MATTERS!   Sometimes it’s easier to just believe we are little, insignificant specks of dust.  It’s a protective mechanism but in the long run, keeping ourselves safe in this way doesn’t do much but isolate us further.  It might seem like a comforting idea sometimes, but there are bigger and better things out there for us! Youdeserve to experience all of the joy and happiness there is in this world, and I promise you, there is so much goodness out there for you that you don’t even know exists yet!   I know you might not believe me or even be able to consider the idea that you’re more than an insignificant dust particle but regardless, I want you to know that here, you are heard.  Yes… here you are heard. If you share your pain, you cut it in half, if you keep inside your “insignificant” self, it multiplies. What you have to say matters.  Why?  Because it’s yours and you matter. It’s inside your brain and there are people out there who want to hear and understandyou. That can be a foreign and scary thought if you’ve spent a long time believing you’re all alone. Don’t worry, that is OK.   Putting ourselves out there takes a lot of bravery, strength, and courage, but you have all of those things inside you.  Please don’t hesitate to message me here, on Twitter, send an email to thedailyrayblog@gmail.com, send a letter via snail mail, connect on facebook, send a carrier pigeon… whatever you want to do is fine by me! I want you to know that I REALLY want to hear whatever it is that you have to say!  I mean it…. WHATEVER it is … it’s important :) I want to hear you.  You are important and have interesting and thoughtful things on your mind! Looking forward to hearing from you :) Happy Sunday everyone!

Perfectly Imperfect

People tend to think in black and white.

We are either good or bad.

Fat or thin.

Perfect or inadequate. 

A success or a failure. 

But life isn’t all or nothing.

There is always a middle ground.

We exist in shades of gray.

And you are no exception. 

Your flaws don’t discount your abilities.

Nor do your strengths erase your weaknesses. 

You’re a balance.

A beautiful blend of light and darkness.

You’re human.

You’re complex and multifaceted.

You’re dynamic and unique.

You’re perfectly imperfect.

You cannot be fit into a single category.

Embrace your gray.

Embrace who you are.

Every experience we have makes us stronger. It’s cliche … but it’s cliche for a reason: IT’S TRUE! Strength is permanent.  It never loses it’s power.  Once you gain strength, it will never leave you.  Every step you take, every experience you have makes you stronger, and it makes you stronger for life!  Please, never forget this!  We do not get weaker, only stronger!  We might feel weaker, but our acquired strength never leaves us. Whatever strength you have ever had, you still have, right now, and in this moment it’s expanding. You are strong. You are resilient. You are powerful. TODAY YOU ARE STRONGER than you were yesterday.  Today, you shine :)
