I have very purposeful relationships with my family and friends that have allowed me to grow and become what I am now and what I want to be in the future

Keywords: {0}

I choose to be my most authentic self in all aspects of my life and I vow to help others grow and live in that same space for their own self. I am unapologetically loving every moment that I live in. At the gym. At life. At home. And in my head.

If you only knew how much I honestly believed that I was selfish for wanting those things for myself

Keywords: {0}

That I was ungrateful for wanting more than I had. That I felt like what people needed from me trumped what I needed for myself. It sounds crazy to write it now, but it is honestly how I felt, and absolutely how I acted and those beliefs and actions led me to a very lack-luster, unfulfilled life.

I really miss having a partner

Keywords: Life

I am really tired of just being “alone” …I really value my alone time, but I want a partner. I have been doing everything by myself…taking my bike to places to ride it alone…. going to cultural and community “events” alone …volunteering alone… taking classes to learn new things alone… People do things with friends, family or partners – I do them alone.

I want to be back where, once upon a time, the previous “me” used to be

Keywords: Stories of my life – some , coping , grief journey , joy , loss

The “me” in this photo is almost the “me” before my parents died. This “me” is the one who almost always had an inner joy. Even on the darkest day, this “me” could talk myself out of despair. The current me is “walking a narrow path through the loss………taking sips of sorrow…..” as Julia Alvarez says in her beautiful novel Afterlife.

I’m exhausted, I want money but this work is not for me

Keywords: {0}

I’m working as a content writer in a small company for quite a few days. From the day I’ve started work here, I’m not much confident with my writing. As every day I’ve created something new but seems like it’s all fake. I don’t know this feeling, am I too overwhelmed or is this not working for me?

I composed most of it in my head to take my focus away from hoping no one would try and speak to me, despite how much I wanted to talk to others

That may sound like a massive contradiction but welcome to my head. My therapist suggested contacting one of the speakers and writing down what I wanted to say to him as a way of exercising that particular demon. That’s on the “To do this week” list.
