Good morning 🌹

Sometimes we give others what we lack.

We send a grin even when we're sad.

We offer them our attention when we are distracted.

We give them hope when we are in despair.

We offer them things that we sorely need because we have a kind heart that enjoys giving.

I wanted to share this. This is my boyfriend, best friend, the love of my life, my world Justice. He’s struggled so much in his childhood and his adult life. He’s been kicked out of his home before, neglected, abused, ignored, treated like garbage and much more… his own parents have called the police on him… put him in jail before… Justice has fought substance abuse, and probably been on every drug known to man….. the picture of him on the left was him before.. 2020.. he was so depressed and the drugs were causing him to lose so much weight, motivation, and spirit in his eyes. He was almost down to 89 lbs……

The picture on the right is Justice now. :) he’s fought so hard, he’s gotten off drugs, he’s fought and fought to say no to addiction now. He’s had withdrawals, and gotten physically sick for days on end . Today he is 205 lbs, muscle, smiling more, laughing everyday, and he is definitely treated like a king!

Sometimes- it’s not about having someone who’s “already self made” sometimes you fall in love with those who need just a little help, a little more love, and more reassurance! Don’t give up on those who may struggle….. Justice went through it and now he’s doing amazing. I’m so proud of him!!!!! I wanted to share his before and after with tumblr!

Justice is currently getting a letter of recommendation written for him to go down south and is waiting to be accepted into the Phoenix House in Tampa! He is someone who has struggled with drug abuse since 2013… this will be his year to finally turn his life around and get his head back on right! He is ready for his journey to get his life together and having a second chance in life! I am so proud of him!!

I wish I could hug every single person in the world and absorb their sorrows and worries and sadness to make them feel better

I wouldn't give two thoughts about it. If someone else is sad I'd give up my entire happiness to make them all happy.

Everything is gonna work out, hun. Believe in yourself, and do your hardest. Life will reward you. Keep going.

Share to save a life❤️

John 5:24 (NIV). “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” John 5:24 (NLT)). “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.” John 5:24 (AMP). “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the person who hears My word [the one who heeds My message], and believes and trusts in Him who sent Me, has (possesses now) eternal life [that is, eternal life actually begins—the believer is transformed], and does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed [over] from death into life.”

“What does John 5:24 mean?” By BibleRef.com:

“Verse Commentary: The word amēn in Greek is taken directly from older, ancient languages such as Aramaic. It survives in many modern languages as well. Here, it is often given a fairly literal translation of "truly," or something similar. Using this word at the end of a sentence is a way of emphasizing truth, or hopefulness. This is why we often end prayers with the word "amen." Used at the beginning of a statement, however, it means something very different. In that culture, Jesus' use of "Amēn, amēn, legō hymin…"—"truly, truly I say to you"—means He is claiming absolute, first-hand, personal knowledge. This is not something He has learned or been taught. Rather, this is a fact He knows personally to be true.

This verse goes hand-in-hand with the statement made by Jesus in verse 23. Those who accept Christ are accepting God, and that means accepting eternal life. Rejecting Jesus means rejecting God. Those who reject God are under His judgment (John 3:36). Jesus' power over spiritual life and death is proven, in part, by His power over physical life and death (John 20:30–31).

The words Jesus uses place this eternal life in this moment—in the present. That is, those who put trusting faith in Christ have eternal life, right now. Their passing from "death to life" has already happened. This description of passing from death to life is only used in the New Testament by John, and only in two places. One is here, and the other is in 1 John 3:14.”

1 John 3:14. (NIRV) “We know that we have left our old dead way of life. And we have entered into new life. We know this because we love one another. Anyone who doesn’t love still lives in their old condition.” 1 John 3:14 (AMP). “We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians). He who does not love abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death.”

Listen to me. You can never completely understand someone. Most people live and die without even understanding themselves. Nevertheless, it is for that very reason people seek each other out to share the warmth of an emotional bond. Or should I say, I'm sure there will be such a person as long as you do not close your heart. Open your heart, and you will never be lonely even when you are alone.

Don't Be a Hater

heal yourself, but don't rush

help people, but have boundaries

love others, but don't let them harm you

love yourself, but don't become egotistical

stay informed, but don't overwhelm yourself

embrace change, but keep pursuing your goals

Stop saying sorry for asking questions, not always wanting to hang out (especially with toxic people), not having time for other people, your feelings and emotions, speaking out about your needs and wants, your growth, your achievements, goals, and dreams, for wearing what you want to wear, having hobbies that make you smile, and having boundaries. Quit apologizing for putting yourself first. You are your first priority. And don’t feel guilty for putting others second. ❤️

You Aren't Alone...

For anyone reading this, I want to emphasize the significance of stepping out of our comfort zones and sharing lifes experiences. It is through these moments that we can grow, learn, and expand our horizons. So, take a leap of faith and share you experience - you never know how much of a difference a random stranger could make in your life. 

By opening up and sharing, we not only inspire others but also create a sense of connection and understanding in a world that often feels disconnected. So, let go of any hesitation and embrace the power of vulnerability. Your story matters, and it has the potential to touch someone's heart in ways you may never imagine. 

Just know that this is a safe space where you will be heard and supported without judgment. Remember, vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to your strength and resilience. So, trust in the power of sharing and let your voice be heard.  Nobody may even see this post but just know, I will be here to listen and offer support. 

Words have the ability to create a ripple effect, inspiring others to open up and share their own stories. Together, we can create a community where vulnerability is celebrated and connections are deepened.  

Here goes nothing, 

My name is Alizé, I'm 20 and I have been battling with many health issues since 2017. It has been a challenging journey, but I have learned to appreciate the small victories and find strength in the support of others. Sharing my story not only helps me heal but also encourages others to share their own struggles and find solace in knowing they are not alone. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and suspected Lupus back then and recently as the symptoms have stacked I have received quite a few more diagnoses. These are Pots, Epilepsy, and PNES. These additional diagnoses have added complexity to my health journey, but I refuse to let them define me. For anyone with an invisible illness or anything they are currently battling. Just know you are not alone. Others may look at you and not understand the daily challenges you face, but there is a whole community of individuals who can relate and empathize with your experiences. It's important to remember that your worth and identity are not determined by your illnesses, but by the strength and resilience you demonstrate in navigating through them. Keep pushing forward and seeking support from those who truly understand what you're going through.
