We All Need A Little Rescuing.

So I have been listening to this song a lot it is called "The Rescue" by Tylor Ward it has really been stuck in my head lately and it has gotten me thinking a lot about the way I use to look at the world and of myself.  I use to always think that I needed someone to rescue me.  Whether it was a god or a woman or man I always felt that I needed someone to pick me up when I was down and that I needed someone to save me from myself and from the world.  I started to realize that while having someone else do all the hard work and swoop in to save you is great in books or movies that in the real world that is very seldom the case. 

It is our job to rescue ourselves to pick ourselves up from the gutter to put our arms out and catch ourselves when we start to fall.  There are always things and people to lean on when things start to get out of control but we should try not to rely on them being there to save us.  We need to learn to rely on ourselves.  I have learned to lean on myself and not on others and sometimes I fall and sometimes I feel like the world is going to crash down on me and break me but after the dust from the most resent drama has cleared I stand up and dust myself off and realize that I may be bruised and a little damaged but guess what?  I am still standing.  I am still here. 

In my life I had moments where I thought that even death would be easier than waiting to be rescued and I tried to end my own life.  Even after that self inflicted drama I am blessed to still be standing here I am blessed to wake up every morning and to take a deep breath and realize that I made it through.  I was one of the lucky people who failed.  So many have not been given the chances that I have.  Nothing this world or the people in it throw at you is worth ending your own life. 

This went from being a blog post about being rescued and turned into being strong and not letting the world push you to the limit and you know what standing up and realizing that you are strong enough to make it through is rescuing yourself.

Blessed Be
