hard pill to swallow.
I am increasingly observing the mental toll people are exhibiting online and offline.
grab ☕ before you start ...
You look ok-ish on the surface but deep down you are in wreck, empty and fading away.
You go about your day, grinding because bills have to be paid. If given the choice, you'd rather be somewhere else doing something you care about.
you distract yourself with games, keeping busy, anything other than facing that void inside.
you convince yourself, this is life and this is how it should be.
so you continue day by day until the spark is fading away and slowly you explode!
Until you wake up empty, wondering if this is all life has to offer.
life is flashing back before you: all your achievements, the kudos, the accolades, the superficial labelling you get, you built the impossible but...
you're still empty.
you are faced with a tough choice:
to continue living like this or change?
the desire to change is there but dreaded with the thought,
"can I do it?"
"can I change?"
"am I going to get out from the pit I put myself in?"
If this is you, I feel you.
There is nothing more scary than venturing into the unknown.
The good thing is, you are not alone.
Path to change is first recognising life is unbearable if the trajectory continues.
And that in itself is the first step. ✅
📍Road may be windy but if you put your faith in yourself, that no matter what happens, you can never go back to where it used to be then you are 👉doing great!
And that my dear reader is a path to 👉awakening.
If it gets too much, remember how far you have come and remember your 'why'.
Celebrate your wins and persevere. ☺️
Take care - you're beautiful soul!🫂
