I’m trying to survive every day, and I try to convince myself that everything will be okay.
I know most of people are already tired now. Most of people are barely breathing, and just walk in crowded places as if everything they feel is normal. But the truth is, most of us have changed a lot. Most of us are lonely people who walk down the street with tired eyes. Weak smiles, straight faces, and a chaotic mind. How long will we pretend that we're just fine when everything in our lives is slowly falling apart?
I know most of us are already thinking about giving up but are still silently wishing to be saved immediately. Most of us are not living anymore because we are only surviving. Heavy hearts and losing minds. Why does it feel so hard for us to live a peaceful life? I know most of us silently wish for our lives to be more bearable. It is not easy, and it will never be easy unless everything that we feel right now just disappears.
We try to convince ourselves that everything will be okay, hoping that we will have the courage to face the world every day. Heal, live, and pray. I know that it's not easy. But sometimes, all we have to do is to keep going…
My path through healing has led me to be alone and live simply with nature. Not completely alone. But I am very protective of my energy. I went through many years of depression unable to deal with the world around me. Now I feel at home. At peace. I don't know what that looks like for you. I do encourage everyone to disconnect more. It's not as heavy when it isn't in your face. 💚💚💚

I feel you. This is temporary. We are moving closer to a better place. You are never alone. We are one. This is our existential reckoning. And it sometimes it hurts. Growth hurts. We will find our way home.

If you don't feel happy, satisfied, or you don't feel like you are fulfilling your purpose or desires (Ikigai): get out of that place.
I know it's easier said than done. So many fears imposed by society or our family, friends, school... since we were little.
It's really simple. Break with everything. Get out of the routine, leaving everything, and go, outside, to another place, preferably with a lot of nature. And breathe.
A month, or two... a year. This sabbatical year will help you think on what you really want in your life, and, if it comes from within (from the heart), reinvent yourself and create something new that keeps you happy, even if you return to live in that same place where you lived. You came out, you will no longer see it with the same eyes.
This is just another test of your own hero's path. After the fall, comes rebirth.
Plus, what you focus on grows. If you look at the world around you and see it all gray or sad, change your look inside, and ask yourself; what do I really want that I'm NOT giving myself?
Likewise, if you see the world around you with light, bright and smiling, look at yourself and ask; what makes me so happy? and be grateful for it, even if you don't find the answer right now.

Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. I agree that people everywhere are dealing with this. Most aren't willing to look at it though. It sounds like you are owning your own experience which is a great place to start. 🙏💚🪄
