Atlas: My Origin (About Me)

I am only 23 years old and yet I relate to Atlas who becomes sentenced to an awful punishment. Holding up the Heavens to keep them separated from the Earth. Granted this is not the worst punishment anyone in Greek Mythology has received but it is still pretty brutal. I could never imagine having the weight of the heavens only shoulders and yet, I still try. I have been trying to hold so much weight for all of my life. I am tired. I am drained. I am exhausted. Why is his punishment so significant to me? There are a few myths that stem from Atlas but the one most people know best is that Atlas fought against the Olympians as a Titan. The Titans lost against Zeus and were banished to Tartarus, which is basically todays version of Hell. Except Atlas, who was put in-between Heaven and Earth, which to me resembles purgatory (which I do not believe in). There are also stories of Hercules coming and spending time holding up the Heavens, because of his strength. Atlas in return did some ...

Stuck Like Glue

" You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. " John 8:44 ESV The morning used to be my least favorite time in my day. This is where I had the most self-hate filled thoughts. It was always hard for me to fill my head with positivity when I woke up wanting to die each morning. During the day I had to put on a fake smile and go to school like everything was okay when everything was falling apart in other areas of my life. But when I got home I was able to self medicate by pushing out my happiness and optimism and filling it with self destructive thoughts. When the moon came out each night, I was able to lurk and hide in the darkness with my pessimism and negativity. Negativity and I were stuck together like super glue. I could not separat...

God's Love and the Lies I Believed

If you can, before reading the post, take a few minutes to listen to the music linked below: How Deep the Father's Love for Us - Anna Golden John 3:16 ESV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." I am thankful for how my mother decided to raise me. She made it a point to teach me all about love. Not every parent does this, yet it is so important. Without the knowledge of how to love - hate has a greater chance of clouding a clear mind. Because my mom decided she was going to break this painful cycle of hatred with her child, she allowed me to live in a freedom that I do not believe she was even able to have. Humanity is stuck in this hate cycle and the only way to break it is by teaching up children in a Christ like love. I can truly go on forever about the love in the world today but all of that is a conversation for another time. I mentioned that little story about my mom because...
