I Have, I Am, I Can

There are three small statements that I have learned to rely and live on. I go back to these three statements when I need to encourage myself and remind myself that: I AM RESILIENT. These statements are I Have, I Am, and I Can. These three 'mini statements' help me get through any rough day that I have and here are what they mean to me (This post will be mostly in list form).

I Have is reminder of everything I am blessed to have in my life.

I HAVE:

  • People around me that I trust and who love me 
  • People who set limits for me. 
  • People who show me how to act by the way the act. 
  • People who help me do things on my own. 
  • People who support me and my goals. 
By having these people, family and friends, who do all these things and more for me I am able to get on a healthy path. I am therefore able to have people who can help me when times get hard on me. 


I Am is quite obvious, it's a reminder of who I am as a person. 

I AM: 
  • A person people can like
  • A person who likes to help others
  • Respectful to myself and others
  • Willing to take responsibility for what I do. 
  • Sure I will be alright. 
By being able to remember these and remember who I am I able to center myself and my focus on myself and my goals. 


I Can is a reminder of everything I am able to do when I have rough days arise. 

I CAN: 
  • Talk to others about things that bother me
  • Find ways to solve problems that I face 
  • Control myself when I feel like somethings not right 
  • Find someone to help me when I need it
By stopping and reminding myself of what I can do about the situation I am to take charge and help myself. 


These three small statements are what I live by. They have gotten me out of many bad days by simply reminding myself that I Have, I Am, and I Can!

I HAVE survived my past, I AM resilient and I CAN survive anything else that is thrown my way!

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...

Don't Give Them the Satisfaction

We all know what rejection feels like...no I don't mean getting turned from a guy or girl, I mean the rejection of being told you can't or maybe you won't be good at it, or anything else related those. So what I am about to tell you is super important....are you ready?? Don't give them the satisfaction! It's hard to keep going when you are told you can't do something or that you won't be good at something, but don't give the person the satisfaction of you quitting no matter what. Now, I'm not saying that every person who tells you that you won't be able to do something is meaning it in a cruel or malicious intent in mind, the person could just have your best interest in mind but still don't let them tell you what you have the ability to do. It's tough, trust me I know. When someone tells me I won't be good at something, will have a hard time with something, or that I just don't have the skills it hurts and it's hard to not gi...

5 Things You Don't Know About Me; 3 words I'd use to describe myself

Today's post is going to be all about letting y'all know a little about me. Not my past, not struggles, not tips. Just simply to learn more about me. Here is 5 things you don't know about me 1. I use to be a beauty queen. I have won so many pageants (I have a case of all of the crowns and trophies). I quit after I started college.  2. I am in college to become an American Sign Language Interpreter.  3. I'm an avid reader. I love, love, love reading. I can read anything from fiction, to fantasy, to true stories. It doesn't matter, I love to read.  4. I have a HUGE love for fuzzy blankets. When my anxiety and depression starts acting up I love to take a fuzzy blanket and curl up in it. It makes me feel safe and comforted.  5. I have 5 tattoo's. My first was a tulip with the stem being the date my step-mom adopted me. My second is an infinity with the word Resilient, a feather, and some birds. My third is a cross on my wrist. My fourth is th...
