DAY 26 DV AWARENESS: Give more

I know this might seem like a strange post for DV awareness. But truth be told, I write these posts for the abused and the abusers. I feel like ending DV means we have to reach the perpetrators and the victims. 

I don't understand living a life in constant turmoil and feeling completely out of control to the point of acting out in violence. I believe we owe more than chaos to our lives and our loved ones. 

If you are living a life in constant upheaval and dysfunction, you need to give more to your life than what you're giving. If that means giving it more time away from other people, so that you can become stable, do that. Give more personal space to your life.

If that means finding help for mental health or behavioral health, do that. Give more psychological health to your life. 

If it means loving people like you would want to be loved, do that. Give more love to your loved ones. 

If you are able to read this, that means you are blessed with life. If you want it to be your best life, give more to it.

Give more help to those in need, it will help you realize the value you hold as a caring human being.

Give more peace to your home, it will help your loved ones respect you instead of fear you. 

Give more effort to being the best version of yourself. Become the type of person that is loved, respected and needed.

Give more love to yourself and others. Know that love is patient and kind.

Give more energy to working through your problems in a loving manner. 

You owe it to yourself to give life your greatest effort. 

You owe yourself and your loved ones, security, protection, tranquility and love. 

You owe yourself dream chasing and you owe your loved ones hope. 

So give more to your life. Give it clear direction. "Straight is the path and narrow is the way." Give more of your best self to everything around you. 

Drop the heavy burdens that keep you bound to the old you. Break every one of those chains. Let love come through as the driving force in your life. Feed the positive side of who you are and seek help for the other side. 

Give more to your life. You deserve it.
