A Getaway

Hello, everyone! After what seems like ages, I wish to be consistent with my posts, but I wish this simply because I need a getaway. Last November I went viral with this blog in an effort to share my meditative thoughts and isms in hopes to inspire my lovely readers to think of life in such a beautiful way. However, in the past few months, I have been nothing but busy, but I feel as if this is only an excuse, not a reason. I do believe that this blog is my safe haven, my sanctuary. I have had recent events in my life that have made me look at the not-so-dainty issues that encompass my being. My friends, I have not been looking at the dainty little things. I have been looking at the Big-Foot, nasty things that surround us.
It is so hard for us to ignore these issues, though. With a typhoon in the Philippines, mass shootings happening almost weekly in the U.S., social justice issue rates at an all time high, and basically any other issue one may have regarding the struggles of daily life, looking at the beautiful flowers and seeing the bright sunshine may seem absolutely futile and ridiculous. Every time I'm caught moping around, I can just hear the little voice in my head, "Kat, there are people DYING and here you are sad for a reason you have absolutely no power to fix."
My little voice has a point, but that little voice should not get in the way of learning life's lessons. It will take some sad times and disastrous mistakes to see the beauty in life in all of its times.  This is the harsh truth of a harsh world, as Dakota Fanning said in Uptown Girls (RIP Brittany Murphy.)

But in all seriousness, hard times will make you better. You just can't lose hope in this. It's hard to see that everything has a purpose, and "why do bad things happen to good people?" always comes into play. I may not ever be able to answer purpose questions or philosophical questions to the highest degree of excellence, but I know that everything has a purpose to make you even better. EVERYTHING. 

So find your getaway. Find your release from this "harsh world." From there, you will find the dainty little things. You will find happiness in those small reminders of life. You just have to accept them as a source of happiness. You must see the goodness in the dainty little things.

xoxo
