Those Days You Can't Forget

Published: Mar 17, 2015 Β· Modified: Jul 23, 2017 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

St. Patrick's Day is either a normal day or a day of some great food and celebration of Irish heritage for most of us. To me, March 17th, is a day I won't ever forget. This is the third year I've felt this. It encompasses so many emotions. From anger to sadness and and frustration. But also understanding and that these shitty, life-changing days do happen. They happen to everyone and will always happen. There will always be a day or days that leave a scar on your heart. Some more mild and some so horrible they can be unimaginable. But it's inevitable and they're all difficult to forget.

Those Days We Can't Forget | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #life #inspiration

What I've learned from this day and other days that have left scars, is that you must let the bad feelings go and find something else to get out of those days. From death, illness, divorce, and other tragedy, there is always something else, however small, that can be taken from those days. Through the pain, once it dissipates, you will be able to find:

- Creativity: These days may spark an interest in expressing your feelings in an artistic and new way. Paints, drawing, singing, writing. I've used this day in many writing pieces I've done. It has given me great raw and honest material.

- Strength: You survived the day. Even though it will come up again year after year, you survived the pain once and you can survive it and the memories again.

- Clarity: It's hard to come to terms with something the day it happens. but as the years go by, we can begin to rationalize it and understand a bit more. We aren't flooded with emotions and have time to come to terms with it.

- Relationships: Sometimes these days may make us lose someone or have a relationship crumble. They can also invite new relationships from connections to those who had common experiences or strength relationships that may have been brought together and closer than they were before.

- Gratitude: O, it's hard to be grateful for a long time after one of these days scars you. But once we can find gratitude, it's a beautiful thing. The life we do have, the things we still hold. It isn't all lost and there is so much to still be grateful for. I promise.

- A Kick In The Pants:Β (aka Motivation) Some of these days that occur may be event that lead us to that push we've always needed. That puch to let go of something and go for something new. Something we truly want in life, but may have been to scared to try. Life is precious and every moment should count.

- A Story: Like I said with my writing and the material it has given me, these days give us stories. Real, raw, honest, emotional stories. These stories have impact and show that life is so complex, complicated, and unforgettable. These events allow us to connect and realize we're not alone. We're never alone.

It takes time, scars will heal, but the mark will always be there. They create memories we can never forget, but we can grow and take something from them over time.

So tell me:

+ No questions, just your thoughts if you'd like.

    Beautiful and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing these tips, I hope your day wasn't so bad this year. I find these days get slightly easier to handle as the years wear on - I have one coming up in about a month. It's been 10 years and I think I will write about it on the good ole blog that day to let the creativity out instead of being angry and sad and wanting to consume large amounts of junk food.

    You are a beautiful and strong person hun. These kinds of days definitely do stay with us but I agree with everything you said, we can learn so much from them. When the dates roll around they are nothing to ignore and we will always feel something, but that's because we are human and for you, you are a caring individual. xoxo

    I would have to say that while there isn't any one particular day that carries negative emotions for me, there was a series of events that happened over the course of a few years, with one of the events signalling it was time for me to make a life-changing decision. That day was hard, but now each time it rolls around I celebrate because I'm so grateful for the way my life has changed!

    April 5th tends to be that sort of day for me. I'm completely with you on all of these though. Finding things to be grateful for and strengthening my relationships with loved ones helped me to get through it initially, and writing has definitely too. Going through it, however unpleasant, does help to at least make me stronger + better able to handle things the following year.

    I'm sorry that this day carries so much negativity for you! Sending lots of hugs and warm thoughts! <3

    I guess I am a bit of an oddball because I don't purposely remember the DATES of things that make me sad. I do know some of them but I don't MARK their passage, normally not even mentally, really. For instance, I do happen to know the date of my Father's death, but I celebrate his birthday and normally let the anniversary of his death pass quietly by.

    I am sorry today is a difficult one for you. Perhaps, in time, it's power to hurt you will be diminished. I do hope so.

    In any case, sending smiles and support your way.

    I am sorry you feel this way today but tomorrow will be here soon enough, I too have a hard time on a few days out of the year I lost both my parents and those days are tougher than others but all days are hard. Everyone tells you time will heal the hurt but it doesn't you just find ways to live with it or deal with it but it's very much still there, my mom has been gone 20 years this past January and it's still tough. I hope knowing you're not alone will get you through another March 17th =) please feel free to contact if you feel the need <3

    I loved reading this post. As a person who is fairly hard on themselves, I make sure to read certain quotes I save on my phone every morning. I always tell myself to look at how far I've come instead of how far I have to go. This helps on the especially hard days where I feel like throwing the towel in, whether it be with relationships, schools, my health. Having strength is so important throughout life. Great read.

    I hope today brings you all the positive things this lists shows, like new relationships, creativity and clarity. As shitty things happen, they are often balanced out with enormous fantastic things, all of which make us value our everyday just a bit more. It's so easy to let the pain recoccur because we think we deserve to feel it, but finding the joy in continuing to live our best life day after day is where I think it's necessary to shine. Sending hugs!

You can never go wrong with a quick and easy curry and this one is a classic! Just canned chickpeas, @muirglen tomatoes, onion, garlic, tons of aromatic and fragrant Indian spices @simplyorganicfoods, and my secret ingredient...a handful (or two) of spinach! Made in one pot or skillet (I use my @lodgecastiron ) and top it with some fresh cilantro and a splash of lemon juice if you so desire! πŸ₯°

Skip the peanuts and make this allergy-friendly sunflower seed brittle instead! You only need some roasty toasty full-flavor @gerbsallergyfriendlyfoods salted sunflower seeds (or unsalted and add your own to taste!), vegan honey (or normal honey if you so choose), and some granulated sweetener @swervesweetie or sugar!
