Hello, Lovely Soul Drop!
I’m so sorry it’s been a month since I last published here! I’ve been struggling a lot lately. Staying motivated can be hard when you’re constantly surrounded by bad news and people fighting. We can easily fall into the false idea that the world is just falling apart and we can’t have a good life even if we try. That’s simply not true.
Not knowing what I wanted to do with my life made me feel pathetic and useless. Turns out, a lot of people my age (and older) feel like this! It’s human to wonder about our lives, to wonder what our mission should be, and to fear not making the best choices. We want to be happy, safe, loved, healthy, and feel accomplished. All humans are trying to feel good about their existence in different ways. I’m not weird or special, I’m your average young woman.
I never expected to get so many people inside my server, so many followers, and so much support for the content I create. I’m extremely privileged, so why did I feel so bad? Depression can come to anyone, regardless of how amazing your life can seem. Everyone has a battle to face, everyone suffers, and pain is the main thing all humans have in common. Even billionaires feel pain, so why shouldn’t I? It’s all right to feel pain, yet I choose to never see myself as a helpless victim. Life is hard for everyone, and still, happiness can be achieved.
Focusing on gratitude, solutions, beauty, and all the wonderful things life can offer me is what I choose to do to face the pain that is to be alive. We come into this world through agony, we learn through pain, and we leave this Earth with what we built within our souls. Even if this newsletter is only read by two people…you’re part of what I’m building in my soul.
Thank you so much!
