(From Me To You)🖤
Hello, Dearest Reader!
Did you miss me? I’m sorry I haven’t sent you something to brighten up your day in a while. I have been very busy and I have been trying to put so much into place.
How are you? How do you feel darling? What is really going on with you?
It is about to be a very jolly and interesting read and I ask that you pay attention and enjoy every sentence you would come across!
It has been a roller coaster of emotions these past few days and believe me when I tell you it hasn’t been easy!
From trying to be fine, to trying to live my life for myself and to not be after impressing anyone, omg to trying to relax and take a break or calm down at least. Trying my possible best not to ruin anything or be in any entanglement with anyone or anything.
I plan to be very very informal in this post!
I also figured that I literally gave the best advices but never for once listened to myself, and the emotions that came after were just overwhelming and that? that was crazy.
My point here is that, there are times you might not recognize that something is wrong even in your subconscious. And after making that mistake, it would make sense when everyone was saying “hey, don’t do that”.
Asides being daring, they’re a lot of things you do unconsciously, not because you’re trying to provoke someone but, because you have to learn from it.
Because that’s what makes you better.
Experience is really the best teacher and nobody can really relate to whatever you’re going through when you complain, except they’ve gone through it or have similar experiences.
You give the best advices to yourself personally but you fail to follow it as a person. Plus I believe everyone has a time to learn something concerning whatever they’re going through at a stipulated time.
You’ll never pass the appointed time, it will just hit you, and then you’re wondering“why have I been making this mistake all over?” Or “why have I been doing this all over?”
I’m just somewhere where I do not want to stress my mental health anymore, I mean there use to be a time I thought my world was ending because I lost a few friends and they won’t relate with me.
But that was just because I was in the same position all day, I didn’t step out or go nowhere, I didn’t change environment and most of all, I couldn’t forgive myself, everything I did channeled back to that and I became depressed about it.
I had to go through the pain and feel the hurt to learn from it and that exactly is what makes you better and it serves as a constant reminder never to make the same mistakes again.
But I literally learnt to accept myself for my mistakes and I am grateful I made them earlier, that way I can hope and pray for a better future with more clarity and definition.
If I lose friends that’s very fine.
I’m not sure I want new friends tho, I think I just want to meet new people who would connect me to bigger opportunities, and the energy anyone gives me is the same energy I would love to reciprocate.
Everyday, I wake and I start to master different point and views to different things. I make it my goal to connect to the right people and develop myself, have meaningful conversations and not get scared of failing or making a honest mistake.
It is my personal journey to self-discovery and through discipline, it would definitely yield a positive result. They say nothing last forever but have you tried SUCCESS and CONSISTENCY?
At the end, you have just yourself to be accountable to, you owe it to yourself whatever you are doing out there, so why don’t you actually focus on YOU?
Live your life, like actually live in it, row your boat and be in control, Adulthood is here to stay and you’re in it already. You could be overwhelmed but that’s because you’ve never done it before. You have a lot of time and at the same time, TIME waits for no one.
Also, try as much as possible to be at peace with yourself because that is the first step to self realization. Then, try as much as possible to tell yourself the truth even if it could be very hard.
It is very okay to be vulnerable, just make sure you’re with the right people or person when doing that, it really helps. You don’t have to get everything figured out right now, the most important thing is to know what you’re doing.
You’re going to have to get up and do this for YOU. Nobody’s gonna do it for you. Start being extra aware and take caution. Also, please do not stress nothing.
Feeling overwhelmed? Let it go.
Rest up too. Take a break when needed. Take 5 after this, from everything.
PS: I had this convo with my aunt and I have never felt any better or less burdened in such a long while.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section please, I would be expecting.
