Inspired

Inspired by the world around me, but the words just don't seem to come out. Silence fills their space instead and I realize that I couldn't be more happy - quietly enjoying this life God has given me when all I have really known is every form of noise.

Simple Delights

The little things seem to please me more than ever before.  The sun peeking through the thick grey clouds here in Blackpool, a notification on my phone of a text message from mom back in Canada, a mention of my sweet brother - all of these things bring such a great joy to my heart that it makes me wonder how I could have ever overlooked them before.

"You don't ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life.  It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - you don't have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small.  It's one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change.  But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go."
