Life often serves up contradictions. It's the morning sunlight filtering through the window after a night of fractured sleep, the scent of chocolate chip cookies wafting through the kitchen when your appetite feels nonexistent, the soft touch of intimacy while crying the weight of unimaginable pain.
I named my book and blog site "Morning Sex, Continental Breakfast &
Suicide"not to shock but to explore the complexity of living-how we can simultaneously crave connection, nourishment, and, at times, escape. It's not a cry for help; it is a search for meaning. Desire to unpack the messiness of being human, one moment at a time.
Morning sex is the intimacy we yearn for. The raw connection to remind us that we are alive. Continental Breakfast is the ritual. The small slice of normalcy in a world that often feels chaotic. And suicide? That's the shadow that lingers for so many. The whisper of despair that some have known too well.
But life is not just about the contradictions; it is about what we do with them.It is finding gratitude in the smallest gesture; a partners warm embrace, a hot cup of coffee,the courage to take one more step. It is realizing the even in our darkest places, there is still light, no matter how faint it may appear.
That light is Gods grace. His mercies are new every morning, no matter how heavy the night before. The same God that paints the sunrise also offers us hope with each new day. He offers us an invitation to try again, to lean on Him, and to find strength where ours runs out. Grace doesn't erase the pain, but it meets us there, transforming our despair into quiet resilience.
This space isn't about wrapping our stuff up neatly or pretending everything is fine. It is about honesty,. Vulnerability. Perhaps together, rediscovering the beauty that exists even when life feels unbearable.
Let's talk about the contradictions. Let's laugh, cry, rage, and hope. Let's have the hard conversations-the ones that matter. Let's savor the moments that make life worth living, even when it hurts. Let's cling to the truth that God's grace is sufficient for today, tomorrow, and every morning after.
