Maybe it happened to you at one point in your life:
when you almost died in a car crash because of reckless driving -- either on your part or the one killed you,
when you saw your mother lying on the hospital bed losing all the life which you used to see every single day of her life,
when you got kicked out from high school because you failed math,
when your boyfriend broke up with you just because there’s someone "better" than you,
when your father became a drunkard after your mother’s death,
or when you became the provider of the family -- losing yourself in the process...
When something inside you doesn’t feel right, you pause for a moment and rethink your life.

When something inside you doesn’t feel right, you pause for a moment and rethink your life.
You know how it feels to be empty.
You know how it feels to be walking on the road not knowing where
to go, hoping not to bump into someone you know because you don’t want to
talk, because there’s just nothing to say.
You know how it feels to be given space when company is what
you needed the most, when your life is crashing right in front of your face and
still nobody chose to be there.
You know how it feels to breakdown when breaking down is the
only thing left to do.
You know how it feels to be weak, to lose yourself, to be on
the verge of giving up this life which used to be fun and happy.
You know how hard it is to stop thinking of things you don’t
want to think about because everything and everyone around you just seems to
remind you of those exact same things.
As hard to believe as it may be, but whatever you are going
through right now, you’ll get through it.
Don’t know what to do given a
second life?
Given only a few more months to live?
Parents died and you are left alone?
There’s just too much to do in so little time?
Boyfriend broke up with you?
Lost your job and can’t provide for the family?
Lost? Gender crisis? Midlife crisis?

Give it time and everything will fix itself even without
your help. Accept whatever is happening wholeheartedly. Do not resist because
the resistance will only cause you stress, and will eventually make you ugly (inside and out.)
Moving on doesn’t mean you leave it all behind. Moving on means learning from the past, carrying on with
life, and keeping the faith alive.
