Let’s Pause; and Listen

I saw this post this morning, and immediately I thought of my dearest friend, and some of the challenges she’s faced in her life.

 

I thought of her beautiful spirit, and how, even though she is one of the most amazing people I know, she still struggles with depression; the emotional scars that haunts her to this very day.

I thought of my own life, that time when I experienced the euphoric freedom that came with the knowledge, that “Living a Life Worth Loving” is a decision that only I could make!

So, I walked up to The Tattoo Lounge, laid my head down on the bed, and inked my ear; one of the most powerful tools we have, the ability to LISTEN. Sometimes this is all that is needed!

Everyday I am surrounded by people who could very easily have ended their journey; but instead they paused and someone listened…

As of today, I walk around with a reminder to always reflect on my very personal journey, and to never falter in my love and support for my dear friend, as she continues to edge towards being victorious!
