Hear Ye

Meet my MAC makeup pouch (is that what they’re even called??)

In the summer of 2006 I was dumped. To clarify, he actually beat around the bush for two weeks until I basically asked him to say it already. So in clarifying, you now know I basically dumped myself.

Proceeding, I decided to call in to work that day and instead went solo to the movies to see A Devil Wears Prada. On my self loathing walk home, I wandered into a the joy and shimmer that is a MAC store and went on to blow a month’s rent. Yes. A few new eyeshadows, makeup brushes, blush, lipwear and other odds and ends later I was left rent-less and with pricey makeup to toss into my pricey new makeup pouch.

This was not a good idea by any means and I’m thankful for the day I went home to visit family and friends shortly after this dismal event at which time I broke down and told my mom everything. She was EXTREMELY understanding about me hardly having anything to show for kissing my rent goodbye. Thanks, mom! I’ll pay the forgiveness forward to Addison one day!

So, what’s my point? 15+ years have passed and I finally have discarded this piece of anti-nostalgia.

I never looked at the ol’ pouch as a reminder of an absolute crap day of heartbrokenness, shame, unworthiness. Sure, I’ve gone over the day many a time in my head when looking at this black pouch but life obviously went on and that’s all it remained, simply a bad day, unlike the multitude of blessed ones I’ve had since.

I think we all have a lot of baggage we look back on that may or may not carry a lot of weight on our lives, even today. The fresher the baggage, the harder it is to call it ONLY a bad day. I believe that’s okay, friends. We’re often expected to put it in the past but I think there’s something healthy to being reminded of the difficulties without being consumed by the memory of them. We are asked to be thankful to God for the good and bad, no? To see the most horrific days and find the means to use them in His glory. I recently read I Will Carry You by Angie Smith dealing with the imminent loss of her daughter, Audrey. This isn’t a book about complete mourning through and through. It is so much more about strength, looking to God, and primarily about the lives that Audrey has touched and continues to touch, even in her death.

We never forget dire circumstances. We tend to bear them in some form. But a day comes when the weight seems to be lifted a bit more and we’re better able to see through the pain. Goodness begins to surpass the struggle.

I won’t forget this useful little pouch. I held my finest, most expensive makeup in this bag for years. For all the sad memories it bore, it also helped me to heal, possibly the most expensive day of self therapy wrapped up into this pouch. My life turned out pretty amazing so far. I’d say the goodness surpassed the struggle making it easier to let go of this representation of a bad day I overcame but won’t soon forget. Why should I forget? It was a part of my life that got me here.

Trying to be more active, and less ghosting.

I dissapear from tumblr and tend to come back to like and just support a few people I follow. I dont post as much art as I'd like since I tend to strongly criticise myself a lot but when i do post art its probably something I really hope people enjoy. I guess Im just rambling now, I sincerely thank the small few who have followed me, and wish to thank the people who followed my old account as well. I'll do my best to be more active.

[you, me]

When you think of us do you think of the good or only the bad?

Do you think we could’ve worked something out or did you know all along that we would fail?

We had many things in common..

I have a heart, you have a heart.

I spoke words, you spoke words

Only difference being mine were solemnly for you while yours were for everyone else.

You showed the love you claimed to have for me to everyone else

But me..

So I’m stuck wondering

Was there ever really a you and me?

Have you ever felt like if you could have just said one more thing, if you just could have explained that better maybe things would be different. But you know you will never be allowed to say it? This is me doing that, for any past lover, actresses and actors that know me, perhaps even as a forerunner to a new friend or lover in the future I say it is personal because it is more like deep within my soul than anything else, there is nothing personal in it, it is my way of dealing with all the verbal and mental abuse I have gotten from my family and over 200 actresses, models, and the like that I dated, who were too cold feet to commit to a relationship. This series is "The Adventures Of Strawberry" and as we struggle and overcome others can learn and take strength from our struggles to help overcome theirs. All of it will be only on YouTube and tucked away in one area of my channel, because it is far too long to put anywhere else. Some may ask why do it at all, because there still are some women in the world that do love me, they are just far away, some in other countries, and this maybe the only way to reach them. I did something similar to this back in the 80's with Jim Henson, Frank Oz Christian Puppet Ministries and One Way Street. It was less involved because I was younger. #Christopherstewart #jonathanbrandis #alexhydewhite #shanebriant #courage #strength #bushido #selfhelp #simplethoughts #selfhealing #pain #darkplaces #actorslife #thoughtoftheday #sobriety #copingwithverbalabuse #erasethehate #christianpuppetministry #onewaystreet https://www.instagram.com/p/B4eBvVZA5nq/?igshid=niu1xgiq91kt

August 11, 2021

The last photo I uploaded to my computer before things went haywire yesterday. I’m smiling because it was August 4th and not yet August 11th. And by haywire, I mean:

My phone was obliterated as it dove into the floor only to have it’s screen riddled with lines and cracks I can no longer swipe through without shards of glass in my fingers.

We got word our closing would not be today but sometime next week. (Thank you, God, that we did not have a scheduled move for the next few days.

And, are you ready? Our AC kicked the bucket. Yes, during a lovely heat advisory.

Things could be worse, it’s true but my anxiety took a nose dive with the day and I found it hard to focus. Fast forward to today when I decided I should just replace the phone only to accidentally submit the request as a shipping order rather than the intended in-store pick up. Okay, Lord. I get it. A lesson in patience and provisions. You see, we are pretty spoiled. AC, smartphones, um, roof over our heads. It’s in these moments we thirst-I’m literally so thirsty, it’s like 90 degrees in here now-and our thirst should be for the Lord. For He is our true comfort on the rough days, our champion on the best of days. I sought His word today when I felt like I was in the middle of a panic attack I could not control and I found peace there (Psalm 143:6) unlike the moments where we are comfortable and happy and fulfilled and often forget His word as if we don’t need constantly.

And so I go, with new eyes to see all is well and that we are cared for. We have all we need!

When all you have is yourself to calm the demons. It's then best to recall those who have been there, may not be at that moment... However, it is just a bad day, low self esteem creeping in. It to shall pass....💖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAycgsKDcvf/?igshid=1uhkli6txre4u
