When we get stressed, some of us put blame on or take the frustration out on other people even though we know whatever stressing us out has nothing to do with them.
We feel like we don’t have anyone to support us in those moments.
Why?
Let’s go back to the time when we started doing things for external reasons like to please and make proud people around you, for fame, and so on.
From that moment, your voice has faded away, and you have lost your place in your own mind since others took them away from us.
Every “little” thing became extremely stressful especially when things don’t go as you thought they would.
You can’t remember where you wanted to go, what you wanted to do, who you were in the first place. You can’t even remember why you are where you are right now.
You have done all these things for your parents, teachers, friends, etc to make them happy and proud of you. But when you look around, you have noticed nobody is around you but yourself. And the only person there doesn’t even have the power to support you to get through the tough things you are going through, because that is the one you have lost a long time ago.
All because you have let others decide where you go and what to do. At the end of the day, you are the only person that will come along with you on this journey until the last day.
There were a few difficult times in five years of college life abroad. But I always knew that I could talk to myself and find a way to make things better. Knowing that I have my back as my biggest cheerleader helped me more than anything.
Make sure you will be able to have your back when you need someone.
For those who are in a difficult and stressful situation, I want you to remember this;
Do it for yourself.
And you will start embracing life and you will be such a lovable person in a short time.
Remember to do it for yourself.
