Finding Strength through Hardships


Strength



        All my life, I’ve seen or heard about people's hardships. Not an easy topic to talk about, I like to sit back and watch, most of the time it's hard to find a place where it seems like nothing's going right. These last few weeks I’ve witnessed a couple of my friends going through rough patches. The thing about going through hard times is to know that you're not alone, even if you feel alone just know someone else is going through something as well.
      Loss can be the biggest change in your life, and loss doesn’t always have to be negative. A lot of people forget that you can’t change things that have already happened, the best thing you can do is accepting it and moving forward. Moving on is not easy, you’ll feel like something is missing but, that is why memories are such a beautiful thing. let those memories shape you, let it helps create you learn from it, grow from it. Life doesn’t have to be hard. Life is precious live it, embrace it don't let it get you down. And if it does don't let it keep you there.
     Like everyone else I also have gone through hardships, the one thing I’ve learned so far about them is to use it as fuel for motivation. Use that sadness, anger or emptiness as motivation to live your life to the absolute fullest. I’ve done more in the past year than I ever done before in my life. Remember the good times but never forget to have more good times.

Learning from Life

                                                  Who am I in this world? 


It gets hard trying to find a place in this world, but I do believe everyone here has a purpose. There is a reason why we are all here. We get so wrapped up in the life we want or wish we had, but you can lose yourself searching. I've felt like I didn't know who I was because I was always living my life for others. I would push away things that truly interested me, because it seemed like no one was into the same things as I was, and I didn't like the idea of me being different. I'm realizing that the life I had before was what everyone wanted from me and expected me to do. As I got older I met new people and reconnected with some from my past. Listening to everyone's stories and how each person looks at life was eye opening. I connected with some by having things in common with them and others that I didn't have anything in common with I was able to learn from. It's okay to have disagreements it's okay to have your interests and others to have theirs. I am able to take something from each person I interact with I just have to be willing to listen and try to understand their point of view, once you do that you'd be surprised and a whole new world could be opened up to you. Life to me is meant to be enjoyable with learning experiences on the way. Everyone has a purpose you can teach or be taught that this world is seen differently in everyone's eyes.

Take some time for yourself

I know that everyone may live a busy life but taking time to yourself even if it's a second can help keep your mind at peace. I been working a lot and once a week I try to go on a walk and reflect on the week I had before, I've also been journaling for months now just to get everything out on paper and being able to reflect back on things I wrote and felt months ago has helped me with moving forward in my life. I can see how much I've grown and how far I've gotten, if its a month, a week, or even a day ago. I just take it one day at a time. Time does heal many wounds. Please if you're having a stressful week take some time for yourself. It's the best thing you can do. ❤️
