Mental Health.
Is it just me, or are times really tough right now? I am not where I want to be now; I feel like I am behind in my life, but I know things can change six months from now. Trying to chase a bag just to survive while also trying to take care of my mental and emotional health. while hoping to find a soulmate so I can get married and have kids. I’m only 26 but feel like I’m 40. It feels like times are just different; I feel like I've got to rush my life, but at the same time, slow down and try to enjoy the moments and the little time that I have on earth. My emotions are everywhere. It really is you vs. you sometimes.
I know that for the rest of this year I want to become a better version of myself. I'm so tired of caring what others think about me or trying to please others in order to make others likeable. I did that for years, and I feel like all it did was hold me back. We all have a gift or gifts that the world is ready for, but we tend to dim our light just to make others comfortable. That's not good. Do what makes you happy, and do whats best for you. As always, you come first. Another positive way I want to become a better version of myself is by accomplishing the little goals that I have, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I pray that anyone going through a rough time right now makes it through to see the light.
I hope things get better for you. What are some things you would like to do for the rest of the year in order to become a better version of yourself? Take time to reflect on where you are in your life now, whether it is for the good or the bad. For me, I want to attract good people into my life. The quote you attract what you are, is not always true! A lot of people do the work on themselves but still attract the wrong people. That's because they see your light, they meet you, and automatically do not have good intentions. We are living in a world that is full of darkness and light. You are the light, so where do you think the darkness wants to be for a moment in time? A lot of narcissists attach themselves to empaths, this is why setting boundaries with people is so important. Set boundaries with people.
