It’s Not Supposed to be Like This

“It’s not supposed to be like this.”

I stood on the porch waving goodbye to my kids with this thought running through my mind.

“It’s not supposed to be like this.”

This is nothing new. I have watched and waved countless times thinking the same thing.

“It’s not supposed to be like this.”

Fast forward a few hours and the phrase is still running through my head. So here I am. Over these past few hours, I have thought about so many things – grief, loss and just how often I think some version of:

It’s not supposed to be like this.”

The driver is in the wrong lane.

My child is in pain.

I am being disrespected.

A marriage on the brink.

My body.

Death.

This country.

Our world.

It’s not supposed to be like this.”

When I let my guard down and allow the sorrow to wash over me, I feel my eyes wet and a pit in my stomach.

It has taken me a long time to learn that even when I think that something is “supposed to” be a certain way, I’m not necessarily right. There aren’t many, if any guarantees in this life. I do know that if I keep living my life, there will be strong feelings, pain, and grief along the way.

I will continue to feel deep sadness for so many things that I want to be different. I will continue to cry, grieve and scream when I have to.

I will also keep bringing myself to the table. I will keep taking action as small as it may be to shine light, my light in this world even on my dimmer days.

Love you all!

  3. Hi all, here every person is sharing these know-how, therefore it’s
    fastidious to read this website, and I used to go to see this
    blog everyday.

  4. When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added
    I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that
    service? Thanks!

  5. Awesome blog you have here but I was wanting to know if you
    knew of any discussion boards that cover
    the same topics talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get feedback from other experienced people that share the same interest.

    But, think about this, suppose you were to create
    a awesome headline? I am not suggesting your information is not good, however what if you added something that makes people want
    more? I mean It's Not Supposed to be Like
    This • HOLES TO WHOLE is kinda boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how
    they create news titles to get viewers to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to
    get readers interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would make
    your website a little livelier.

  17. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but
    it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do
    you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off?

    I’d definitely appreciate it.

  18. Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility
    issues. When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
    it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, great blog!

  19. Howdy! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give
    a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading through your blog posts.
    Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects?
    Thanks for your time!
