Good Morning! (Part 2)

Good Morning to those who never receive a good morning. I think everyone in some way or form should receive words of encouragement and inspiration for the week. As I always say “you never know what someone is going through” so for you to just say, “I hope you have a great day” makes people feel good. For as long as some people have known me I’ve always sent positive words to people around me. I like being a positive person no matter what is going on around me. Every day is a struggle but I have to keep moving forward or I would be stuck in my misery. 

Every Monday I send out a positive message to people I know for the week. I am always asked, “Hey can you add my friend to your Monday morning messages.” I don’t mind as I feel that everyone should get a positive message for the week. During the week you may have many ups and downs but it’s always how you start your week that will determine how your week will end. If you can start your week with positive energy and vibes, then no matter what you are going through you can definitely get passed it. We all experience moments of despair but the weekly reset needs to happen so you can get back on track. Everything takes time but it will happen. 

Each week is a time for you to reflect and become better then the person you saw in the mirror last week. The “good morning” text sometimes is all the push you need to keep moving forward and not be stuck in a bad place. Start your week with happiness, love in your heart and energy to achieve your goals.

“Don’t start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday.”

Before You Ask . . .

Honestly before you ask me if I am okay you should think about these couple things. I grew up with my sister and saw her everyday. We graduated high school together (Class of 2006) and she made high school tolerable for me. I honestly didn’t like 71.4% of the people I went to school with. I was extremely odd and weird but that is what makes me different. Yes we still lived at home with our parents because in some cultures they don’t kick you out until you find your place and get married. I would wake up in the morning (5 AM), piss her off by waking her up and say good morning. Throughout the day we would text random ass videos to each other, laugh and talk shit about each other. She had me create 2 Spotify playlists for her and keep them up to date, since we pretty much liked the same type of music. I paid for my Spotify but she had the free one and just subscribed to my playlist. She was included in my positive Monday morning texts, which she sent to some of her friends. She encouraged me to continue writing my blog because she felt it was real and gave people a relatable person. 

Now think about this, I can no longer see my sister everyday. Our 10 year high school reunion is coming up and do you think I want to go without her? Every morning I wake up and I pass an empty lifeless room. I randomly wait for a text from her but nothing comes in. I no longer listen to 2 of the 3 Spotify playlists I have. I haven’t sent a positive Monday morning text in weeks because I haven’t been positive. I still write my blog as it is easier for me to write my thoughts then speak them. Yes everyday I cry for my sister, while I’m at work, when I’m in the car, when I’m home and wherever I go. People say it will get better but when something unexpected happens to your sibling what gets better about it? When you have someone that’s an intricate part of your life no longer involved in it, life isn’t the same. At the moment I am fine but the next moment I could slip into a memory of her or something may trigger a thought about her and I will just be emotional. People ask me if they could do anything for me and my response will always be, “Can you bring my sister back?” If not, then please don’t ask the question.

Before you ask me if I am okay, I know it’s the nice thing to do but I will never be okay. Life has unexpectedly changed for me and I will try my best to keep moving forward.
