everyone has their own problems.
you and your insecurities, your mom and her painful trauma, your dad and his complex problem, your brother or sister and their bad thoughts, and so on.
there are days when you're feeling empty and numb unlike the usual days, yet there are days when you feel a surge of emotions like you can be on top of the world and everything seems totally fine. there are also days when you don’t want to talk to anyone about anything and prefer to stay quiet because you’re just not feeling the vibe, and it’s okay. it's okay if you don't feel like doing anything and you don't have to feel guilty about it.
it's okay to feel empty at times, and it's okay to give yourself some time alone when the darkness is about to crawl. sometimes things like this don't have any certain cause and they happened without any warning. but when you feel like you're about to lose yourself, then that’s when you know it’s getting bad again.
and for anyone who is in severe pain, i’m sorry if these days have been so unkind to you and destroyed your peace. it may not feel like it at times, and it may be hard for you, but know that you are one of a kind. you are what happens when a dream decides to go to war with nightmares, yet you are a symbol of strength and survival.
when the water comes and you are about to drown, please hang on a little longer. talk to your trusty one, talk to yourself, talk to your book, talk to your pet, talk to your psychiatrist, talk to anything or anyone that you feel like your secrets will be safe with them, because sometimes you just need to be heard. it’s okay to prioritize yourself and it’s okay to prioritize your immediate needs because self-care is a must! the rest of the world can wait. because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters for you is you.
i hope whoever reading this right now knows that you’ve always been more than enough after someone else tries to overlook you. please always remember that you are deserving of so much more in this world. remember that there’s always an opportunity to walk away and begin again.
it hasn’t been easy, but i hope you’ll find yourself again.
