This rollercoaster called life
"If a thought doesn't bring you inner peace, don't follow it''.
This year, I decided I was going to change my life.
And I succeeded.
After going through a 3 year psychotic depression, I decided to stop taking medication, as it was making my suffering worse.
I started to run every single day.
I went back to school after a 2 year break.
I changed every bad habit I have been keeping for years.
I completely transformed myself.
I stopped labeling myself.
I tried to read as much as I could every single day.
I started comparing myself only to the person I was yesterday.
I tried to spread as much kindness and love as I could to everyone around me.
Everything seemed to be fine...
And then one day, I collapsed.
I'm still trying to pick up the pieces of my life to create for myself a new reality.
Because life is what you create it to be.
Sooner or later, you're gonna hit a time in your life, where you need all the mental strenght that you can possibly muster.
And as terribly difficult as it is, I stopped telling to myself "why does this always happen to me?"
Because really, there's no response to that.
Life is not supposed to be fair.
It's not because you have the kindest soul, that you will not go through the worst battles.
Everyone will. On different levels. But everyone will.
And the moment you start comparing your life and your luck to others, is the moment you lose the opportunity to grow as a person.
I will be back Steemit.
I have a story to tell.
And if you are going through a tough time in your life right now, please remember that you are never alone and that nothing lasts forever. And please feel free to reach out to me or comment down below.
This world only needs more love.
Without devoting my time to meditation, mindfulness, writing, books and my running shoes,
I wouldn't have made it till today.
Life is difficult.
But it doesn't mean it can't be beautiful too.
Even though it may hurt now,
I am beyond grateful and blessed to be alive.
My mantras for 2018:
1- Kindness always wins.
2- Love is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.
Thank you for posting, it is a courageous thing to do.
You are more than your illness or a label. Once you make it through this nothing will look like a challenge again.
Scars are tender at first. Wounds, emotional and physical take time and nurturing to heal. Allow yourself that time and your scars will become tough like armour. You will be stronger and more insightful than all those people who let you down.
There are not mental people and sane people. We are all vulnerable to illness of any kind.
@clayboyn is a wonderful curator. I'm so glad he resteemed your post.
I look forward to reading more from you when you return.
Rest and look after yourself, then walk like Thunder.
This is one of my favourite songs about enduring, in a sturdy pair of shoes. It's not for everyone, if it's not for you I apologise and disregard it. I just wanted to share it because as mantras go walk like Thunder, is one of mine.
Take care.
Wow. What you wrote to me is so kind and powerful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do so. It means a lot!
