End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list.
I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey
(who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show)
Here's an excerpt from the episode:
Nia: I want you to end it
Annalise: I'm sorry?
Nia: I want you to kill me
Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down:
Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitely don't .I'm sorry if you want to end your pain, so did I, but so does every body; that's life..
I'm sure many people can relate with Nia, you don't even have to be going through cancer to have wanted to end your life, like Annalise said;  she had thought about it a lot of times, (I have too,) but that's life. We all want to end our pain, (I hate having a headache, or tummy ache even menstrual cramps are a big deal for me) the real question is should be 'Can pain end on this side of eternity?' I highly doubt that. Nothing on this side lasts forever. Pain comes and goes, money comes and goes, happiness comes and goes, I can go on and on.
My point is that ending ones life is never the solution, it even causes more pain; for those you are going to leave behind. You may think its better to 'end it' but its doesn't really bring an end.
Personally it takes courage to live, contrary to what people say - life is beautiful, its actually tough, all one needs is grace. Lemme back up and say Abundant Grace. And grace to continue to live comes from above.. No where else.
I pray that whoever is reading this receives grace to continue to live, despite what you might be going through (pain, hunger, sorrow, depression, even happiness). It may be difficult but it's not impossible.
Have an amazing day.
With love, theInspiredCutiee 

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...

The SS 4

By
If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

Short story type of day

I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...
