You have probably been told a million times this year, "This year sucks for everyone" and you think to yourself "Sure, but I am going through it." Those words have been replaying in my head for months now. Yes, I have a job. Yes, I am paying my bills on time. The question is, am I enjoying living paycheck to paycheck and nothing to look forward to because I can't afford anything. The answer is absolutely NOT. Guess what, there is nothing to do about it besides try to control the things you can control. It is true, everyone is struggling right now. I feel alone too. I feel like a burden when complaining about my problems all the time. I can only speak for myself, but I have been told to just suck it up before and not to worry about it and to live in the moment. Well that does not work for me. What about tomorrow? What about next year? Where will I be? How will I pay for the things I need, or who will be there to support me in the next challenge I am faced with. There is so much uncertainty at this time that it seems to just take over. You may feel overwhelmed, more tired than usual, unmotivated, and maybe even confused or lost. The thing that should be remembered is this is a time where you have to learn how to find happiness within yourself and the little things. I am not the one to sit here and tell you to love yourself unconditionally. You should always, yes. Do I always, no. I cannot preach something I do not practice myself. That is not yet of course. It is a work in progress but I am learning each and everyday. It's a very hard thing to do and again, you are not alone.
The point of this first blog is to tell you, I am here for you. Something I have always had a feeling about, something that I feel very strongly about is taking care of someone. That is my calling, I am convinced. If I am able to help a stranger, someone who I have never seen or met before, that would be life changing for me. Personally, I have been through a lot and still going through a lot mentally and emotionally. But, I stand here today making a pact to myself and everyone who is willing to follow my journey. Instead of dreading on the things I cannot change and the things that will inevitably happen during my lifetime, I will help others get out of the darkness to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel while I do the same myself. Follow this account for future posts about relatable life struggles that will give insight on how we can do this, together.
