Here Comes The Sun

Ah who doesn’t love a good Beatles song, am I right? This one is my favorite.

I have the very best view of the sunrise coming up over the mountains from my bedroom. I used to set my alarm so I wouldn’t miss it. Every single day I would wake up and force myself to find the beauty in the start of a new day. It was awful… at first. I was tired and grumpy and had no idea why I thought missing sleep, for ANYTHING, was a good idea. Some mornings I would sleep through my alarm and miss it. Guess what though? The sun was still coming up shining regardless. Even if I wasn’t awake to appreciate it, it was shining so someone else could.

If you’re caught up on my blog, you know things haven’t been easy peasy for me, but whatever. Pretty sure that rings true for all of us. Everyone has their ‘hard.’ All of us have been hurt and stuck in the dark. Love leaves you open to loss… that’s the nut punch of life. And it sucks.

But…

Here Comes The Sun

I used to be so completely consumed by my own dark at times, that I forgot how to even look for the light. My head was so far up my own ass, that I forgot there could possibly be a different way to be. My sadness and anger kept me hell bent on ruining my own day. All. the. Time. I was mad and took it out on everyone, including myself, for no other reason than, I was miserable. If I’m miserable, I might as well make everyone else miserable right? Wrong. It was such an exhausting and draining way to live. Also, being a dick is absolutely not the best way to make friends, ya know?

Here Comes The Sun

I was so far gone in my own dark, that I couldn’t see any kind of light. So I made my own. I decided that if I couldn’t SEE the light, than at least I could try to BE the light. It takes work, and it’s hard. Being soft and shiny in a dark and hard world can hurt like a bitch. People can be mean. You can pour every ounce of sunshine you have into someone and it can still not be enough.

Pour anyway.

The sun shines regardless of anyones opinion on whether it should or not. That’s my kind of magic 🌟 Shining even when I have every reason not to.

Loving with all I have, is all I know and I think that’s pretty rad.

Please don’t dull your bright just because it’s too shiny for someone else to appreciate. When your days are dark please try to keep shining. Shine so bright that when people see you coming they can say…

‘Here Comes The Sun.’

Shine on you batshit crazy diamond, the world needs your light.

Until next time,
