Believe it or not, I posted a blog post today. The last time I posted was November 8, 2024, so this is a pretty momentous occasion.
I decided to record and post it today on my podcast as well, but I’ll be posting another episode with the same title (without “blog post”) soon. That episode will be more in depth about this topic and perhaps a little bit more vulnerable. Stay tuned for that!

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Hello, and welcome back to my podcast. So today I'm
going to do something a little unconventional. I don't normally
do this, but here we are. I am going to
read a blog post that I posted today, and I
normally don't do that. But the truth is that I've
been wanting to record this post for a long time.
I guess. Let me clarify. I've been wanting to create
(00:38):
a podcast episode about this topic for several weeks now,
I'm not even kidding you, at least I don't know,
three or four weeks. And I've been working on this
blog post for a good amount of time as well. Well. Surprisingly,
I finished the blog post before I recorded this episode,
and there's a reason that I didn't record this episode first.
I mean the podcast version, and I can get more
(01:02):
into that next time. So this is the blog post version,
and I'm just going to be reading what I wrote,
and then there will be a version that's not a
blog post, and that's just gonna be free for all,
you know. I'm just gonna be just talking, not reading anything,
going into everything a bit more in detail. Yeah, should
(01:23):
be good. So I'm gonna start this is just my
blog post. I'm just reading this, I'm not gonna say
really anything other than what's just here. And then, like
I said, very very soon, there will be a podcast
out that is not the blog post, same title, and
it'll be this topic more in depth. So hopefully that
makes sense. If you want to read along with me
(01:45):
or you want to just read, it's on my blog
imperfectly Broken dot com. I will leave a link in
the description. Okay, here we go. So this was posted
on June fourth, twenty twenty five, and it is called
maybe It's not in pops after all. Before I begin,
here's a quick note for those who are interested in
(02:05):
some random spra unorganized, messy, and possibly boring updates. Slash
thoughts there at the bottom of this post, and I'll
be reading those at the end. When I was a teenager,
I struggled significantly with depression. I saw the world in
shades of gray, and I genuinely believed that life would
never improve. It didn't feel possible. I remember thinking that
(02:25):
I saw the world as it really was, and when
I wasn't suffering from depression, my outlook on life was
a lie. When the incessant and intense pressure wasn't sitting
heavily on my chest. There were moments when I believed
that life really was worth living, that there was beauty
and joy all around, and that hope was a living
and breathing thing. Then the pain would come back, and
(02:47):
once again it would be hard to breathe. A simple
task such as getting a drink of water would feel
like climbing Mount Everest impossible. It seemed like it always
came back. Moments of reprieve were simply an illusion, and
I would suffer with debilitating depression for the rest of
my life. The idea that one day I could live
(03:08):
life without depression felt like a fantasy, genuinely impossible, impossible.
There were times my body shook with sobs as I
repeated it always comes back, It always comes back, It
will always come back. Sustaining happiness impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible.
(03:30):
There is no such thing as a life without depression.
It's simply not possible. Several weeks ago, as I was
sweeping and mopping at work, I was prompted to recall
these thoughts from long ago. Tears gathered in my eyes
and I felt my heart swell with emotion. Possible. It
wasn't just possible, but I was living proof that there
(03:52):
was such a thing as a life without depression, a
long lasting, perpetual, and sustain time where I had not
how to relapse, the depression had not come back over
three years in counting possible real a miracle. Since that time,
I've continued to ponder this again and again. I have
(04:13):
felt Heaven's loving presence as I think, Wow, it really
was possible. My pondering has led me to connect this
to other aspects of my life. I wrote this a
few days later, April twenty third, twenty twenty five, at
nine thirty pm. I was just thinking about a topic
similar to this scripture. In fact, I had a conversation
with chat tbt about a possible podcast episode title about
(04:34):
thirty minutes ago, and it helped me pick out maybe
it's not impossible after all. The last few days, as
I've been pondering live, I began thinking about this question
I've had that often resurfaces. The question resurfaces because the
subject of the question changes. Let me explain the question,
is is it really possible? It is? What changes? So
(04:55):
to write it out again, is insert here really possible?
Past inst here subjects having a strong and sincere relationship
with Jesus Christ, not feeling depressed, getting into graduate school,
losing weight. I'm happy to say that each of my
questions has been answered and the answer is the same
each time. Yes. It takes a lot of trust in
(05:16):
waiting upon the Lord to receive each yes, but it
feels so rewarding and wonderful when the answer comes. I
only wrote down subjects that I've received yes, for though
I have faith, my other questions will have answers to
current or future insert here subjects getting married, and in
addition to getting married, having a celestial, higher and holier marriage,
(05:38):
having kids. I know, with faith and with continued discipleship,
the promised blessings and my patriarchal blessing will come to pass.
God cannot lie, nor does he want to. And if
I hold up my end of the bargain, then he
will hold up his and surpass my expectations. The scriptures
are full of promises too, be not troubled and then
(05:59):
evidence God keeps his promises. Ye may know that the
promises which have been made unto you shall be fulfilled.
Isn't that wonderful? I'm so grateful for the Gospel, for
Jesus Christ and for a loving heavenly Father. April twenty third,
at nine forty four pm. Here's the scripture DNC forty five,
verse thirty five thirty six. And I said, unto them,
(06:20):
be not troubled, for when all these things shall come
to pass, ye may know that the promises which have
been made unto you shall be fulfilled. And when the
light shall begin to break forth, it shall be with
them like unto a parable which I will show you close. Quote.
I promise you, from personal experience and from the bottom
of my heart, that it is really possible. The thing
(06:43):
you've been hoping for, the thing you've been praying for,
the thing you've been waiting for, It is really possible.
Back in March, I made the decision to get in shape.
I decided I was going to lose bat gain muscle,
eat healthier, and improve my physical health. I implemented a
calorie deficity when your body burns more calories than you eat.
By tracking my calories, I decided to begin strength slash
(07:06):
weight training, and I consciously made decisions on what food
to eat that contained the macronutrients that my body needed.
I can't tell you how many times I questioned if
it was really possible. Good I actually lose weight. It
felt impossible, impossible, And then with astonishment, I watched as
the numbers dropped incrementally. I notice clothes fit differently. I
(07:28):
felt satisfied that my body was responding. I learned that
when you implement these strategies, your body doesn't have a choice.
It has to burn the fat. I still have a
long way to go, and I'm still battling the inner
voice in my head that tells me it's not possible.
But I am committed to see this through possible. I
promise you, from personal experience and from the bottom of
(07:50):
my heart, that it is really possible. The thing you've
been hoping for, the thing you've been praying for, the
thing you've been waiting for, It is really possible. Another
goal that felt impossible to achieve was getting into graduate school.
After my second time applying to seu's Doctor of Psychology
program and finding out I didn't even get an interview,
(08:11):
even after having a more competitive application, I sobbed to
Heavenly Father. I asked him why. Then, choking on tears,
I said, I'm so confused. I thought this is what
they wanted for me. What now? What do I do now.
I can imagine that he heard me cry and thought,
oh my sweet Hira, I have other plans for you.
(08:35):
Just trust me. I promise it will be okay. And
on February twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, I received news
that I had gotten into a master's program at Brigham
Young University. Possible. I promise you, from personal experience and
from the bottom of my heart, that it is really possible.
(08:55):
The thing you've been hoping for, the thing you've been
praying for, the thing you've been waiting for, It is
really possible. If you, like me, have wondered if it's
possible to live a life without the unbearable weight of depression,
I promise you it is possible. It is real. It
is not a fantasy, and it is not a lie.
(09:16):
If you have also wondered if it's possible to lose weight,
I'll remind you that, with dedication and hard work, your
body doesn't have a choice. If you've struggled to know
what God's plan is for you, if you are unsure
what's next, if you've cried out to heavenly Father for
comfort and guidance, I know from personal experience that it
is really possible to have a life better than what
(09:38):
your imagination can provide for you. I hope after reading
this post or listening ha ha, the next time you
think it's impossible, your next thought is, actually, maybe it's
not impossible. Maybe it's not impossible after all. Philippians four
thirteen says I can do all things through Christ, which
strengthens me the end. The next section is what I
(10:02):
promised you above. Random sprad unorganized, messy, and possibly boring
updates and thoughts. So without further ado, It's been a
long time since I've posted on my blog and I
find that to be pretty disappointing. Seriously, the last date
I posted was on November eighth, twenty twenty four. That's crazy.
The good news is that my podcast has been alive
(10:23):
and thriving. I'm not perfect at being consistent there either,
but I really do try to get at least one
episode out a week. My goal is to post too,
but I do what I can. When I feel bad
that I haven't posted on my blog in a while,
I use the feelings of guilt and justify my lack
of action by remembering that I have a podcast too,
and at least I'm staying active there. For some reason,
(10:45):
posting on my blog is so much harder. I think
there's more pressure for it to be good. I want
it to mean something. I want it to be uplifting.
I want it to be interesting and a solid representation
of who I am as a person and writer. There
is less pressure when I'm podcasting, though there still is some.
I think the other side of that is I want
to finish my FS by blog posts, but I get
stuck on a specific story and I don't feel I
(11:07):
can move on to or even begin thinking about a
new blog post until the other ones are written, and
it just makes sense to go in chronological order. What
is unfortunate about that is now I am two years behind.
I have week six and seven to write about from
twenty twenty three, and I have weeks one through five
to write about from twenty twenty four. Notice how I
didn't say I have one specific post per week. Yeah,
(11:29):
that's right. Some of them have a few titles down
for potential posts, and other weeks have only one. But
now as I look over my list, I feel overwhelmed
because I don't even remember what I was going to
write about. Thank goodness, I took extremely detailed notes, but
still I worry the quality is going to suffer, which
also holds me back. Next topic. Yeah, I know, this
(11:50):
transition is fantastic. Although I continually justify not writing on
my blog, more often, I feel this yearning to begin again.
I miss journaling that is really slowed down too. I
miss expressing myself in meaningful and engaging ways. I still
do it sometimes, but it's just different. But hey, good news.
I renewed my blog for three more years, so this
isn't going anywhere until at least twenty twenty eight. And
(12:13):
don't worry, I'll renew it then too. It was over
four hundred dollars, but you're worth it. And actually it
was supposed to be over six hundred dollars, but I
messaged them and asked for a discount because I'm trying
to save and pay for college. It made me happy
that messaging them worked. I wrote, he heat, and I
was trying to like, you know, and then I just
actually started laughing. Okay, wow, okay. Continuing, So, as stated above,
(12:39):
several times I have felt drawn to write, but expectations
for myself have held me back. Today I decided to
write anyway, so please excuse the mess and imperfections. I
actually just listened to a by devotional where the speaker,
Sister Clark, talked about turning a mess into a message.
I liked that a lot. So here I am trying
to write again, trying to inspire written word. I'm just
(13:01):
hoping I haven't lost my touch. Pretend there's a transition here.
Sometimes I'm like, all right, I'm too lazy to even try,
so yeah, I just put pretend there's a transition here.
I'm pretty blessed to be on multiple people's missionary email lists.
I get anywhere from four to eight every week, depending
on if people write an email or not. And if
you asked me how long I would prefer the emails
(13:23):
to be, eight times out of ten, I'm going to
say short and sweet or spiritual but simple. And here
I am posting a forever long blog post with thousands
of words. It seems hypocritical of me, but I can't
help myself, so just no. I acknowledge that my blog
posts are often long. I acknowledge most of you probably
don't get to the end fair enough. And I acknowledge
that I'd probably have better engagement if I kept them short.
(13:45):
But what do I do with all these extra thoughts?
Do I just leave them up in my head? Seems
like a wast My original draft of this post had
nine hundred words, only counting the actual story slash motivational message,
and then it took life of its own and now
has thirteen hundred words. I also checked how many words
were in my random and spreadic section at the end.
You're reading it, buddy, and they're over a thousand. Why
(14:07):
did I read it like that you're reading it, buddy?
I blame it on a new book I've been reading.
It's called The Experience of Extinction, Being human in a
disembodied world. In the book, the author talks about how
we don't ponder anymore. We don't allow our mind to
wander nowadays. We feel every extra second and moment was
something to occupy our breeds, specifically talking about technology. So
(14:29):
although I always listen to BYU devotionals when I'm sweeping
and mopping at work, I decided to keep my phone
and AirPods in the office while I swept and mopped
the shelter. I let my thoughts grow and develop into
words that I could fit into this blog post. It
was actually an enjoyable experience, and I encourage you to
give it a try. Instead of filling extra time with
your phone, take time to ponder instead. Well that's it, folks.
(14:53):
I hope you enjoyed me reading my blog post. It
is officially posted as of today, June fourth, I will
be doing another podcast episode, this time not reading, just talking,
just giving you all my thoughts. But for now, I
copped out and read my blog post. So I'm hoping
to have an episode out on Friday as well, but
(15:15):
we'll see, you know, I just really don't want to
make any promises, so anyway, I'll definitely be back though
either Monday or Wednesday. I don't know yet. Last three
weeks I've only put one out on Wednesday, which is tough.
But I promise I'll get back to being more consistent eventually.
I just don't know when that will be. So thank
(15:35):
you so much for listening and supporting me. Thank you
for giving me a chance and spending about twenty minutes
of your life with me today. So I have a
good day. Don't forget to embrace and perfection, find meaning,
satisfaction and joy from the journey. I'm Kyrat and this
is imperfectly broken. The podcast dude, the data

was supposed to be over six hundred dollars, but I
messaged them and asked for a discount because I'm trying
to save and pay for college. It made me happy
that messaging them worked. I wrote, he heat, and I
was trying to like, you know, and then I just
actually started laughing. Okay, wow, okay. Continuing, So, as stated above,
(12:39):
several times I have felt drawn to write, but expectations
for myself have held me back. Today I decided to
write anyway, so please excuse the mess and imperfections. I
actually just listened to a by devotional where the speaker,
Sister Clark, talked about turning a mess into a message.
I liked that a lot. So here I am trying
to write again, trying to inspire written word. I'm just
(13:01):
hoping I haven't lost my touch. Pretend there's a transition here.
Sometimes I'm like, all right, I'm too lazy to even try,
so yeah, I just put pretend there's a transition here.
I'm pretty blessed to be on multiple people's missionary email lists.
I get anywhere from four to eight every week, depending
on if people write an email or not. And if
you asked me how long I would prefer the emails
(13:23):
to be, eight times out of ten, I'm going to
say short and sweet or spiritual but simple. And here
I am posting a forever long blog post with thousands
of words. It seems hypocritical of me, but I can't
help myself, so just no. I acknowledge that my blog
posts are often long. I acknowledge most of you probably
don't get to the end fair enough. And I acknowledge
that I'd probably have better engagement if I kept them short.
(13:45):
But what do I do with all these extra thoughts?
Do I just leave them up in my head? Seems
like a wast My original draft of this post had
nine hundred words, only counting the actual story slash motivational message,
and then it took life of its own and now
has thirteen hundred words. I also checked how many words
were in my random and spreadic section at the end.
You're reading it, buddy, and they're over a thousand. Why
(14:07):
did I read it like that you're reading it, buddy?
I blame it on a new book I've been reading.
It's called The Experience of Extinction, Being human in a
disembodied world. In the book, the author talks about how
we don't ponder anymore. We don't allow our mind to
wander nowadays. We feel every extra second and moment was
something to occupy our breeds, specifically talking about technology. So
(14:29):
although I always listen to BYU devotionals when I'm sweeping
and mopping at work, I decided to keep my phone
and AirPods in the office while I swept and mopped
the shelter. I let my thoughts grow and develop into
words that I could fit into this blog post. It
was actually an enjoyable experience, and I encourage you to
give it a try. Instead of filling extra time with
your phone, take time to ponder instead. Well that's it, folks.
(14:53):
I hope you enjoyed me reading my blog post. It
is officially posted as of today, June fourth, I will
be doing another podcast episode, this time not reading, just talking,
just giving you all my thoughts. But for now, I
copped out and read my blog post. So I'm hoping
to have an episode out on Friday as well, but
(15:15):
we'll see, you know, I just really don't want to
make any promises, so anyway, I'll definitely be back though
either Monday or Wednesday. I don't know yet. Last three
weeks I've only put one out on Wednesday, which is tough.
But I promise I'll get back to being more consistent eventually.
I just don't know when that will be. So thank
(15:35):
you so much for listening and supporting me. Thank you
for giving me a chance and spending about twenty minutes
of your life with me today. So I have a
good day. Don't forget to embrace and perfection, find meaning,
satisfaction and joy from the journey. I'm Kyrat and this
is imperfectly broken. The podcast dude, the data
