These past few weeks, I’ve seen some people in my online circles getting tired, annoyed, or having to deal with a variety of struggles.
To start with, I have no idea what people are dealing with, I am nobody to tell you how to process it, maybe I’m just an online stranger to you, or maybe you think of me as a friend, who can’t really do much when stuck thousands of miles away.
It is only natural for anyone who writes, to do so about those feelings, about the things that keep us troubled, the challenges we have to face in today’s world. The decisions others are making that seem to just ruin everything we work for.
I, too, am facing my own issues, from time to time. But sometimes I feel like I’m just a kid, complaining about totally random things, problems that only arise because I have the privilege of being able to face them in the first place.
I feel like I have a lot to learn, like I’ve never gone through anything that truly hurt me, I think I’m blessed for that, in a way, but it has also made it difficult to relate when everything I’ve needed has been given to me.
I’ve had significant losses, I’ve lost most of my grandparents. I wrote about that too, but never published it. My first dog passed away, also a while back now, I wrote, and didn’t publish it. I just never felt like sharing it. Maybe I’ll do it in the future, but right now, I feel no need to.
There’s also the time I almost died, I was still a kid, and I don’t even remember the whole deal to be that traumatic, I only have the scars over my body to remember what I went through. My parents could tell you how that changed their outlook in life, I can only say I’m still here, and I am thankful for it.
All of us need time to process the struggles we face, to go through them, to deal with them.
If you write or not about those negative feelings or thoughts, anger, stress, or pain. All of it is part of what makes us human. everyone chooses what to do with them. Even if I am picky about what I choose to share here from time to time, I’m not telling you to do it too. If you write about what you’re going through, someone might relate and find comfort thanks to you, but if you don’t, there’s no harm done either.
Well, I’m honestly just rambling, but what I really want to say is that I have a wish—something I hope comes true for all of us.
That you can write about something that brings you happiness, that you can read something that motivates you for the better, that you play something that makes you feel like a kid, or listen to something you wish everyone could hear.
I hope you experience something that brings you so much joy you want to share it with the world.
That’s one of the reasons why I like to just write reviews about things I like, even if I sometimes feel like they don’t fit that well in my blog—and some have been about things that didn’t bring that much joy. Most of the time I only have nice things to say about stuff anyway.
Some of my friends have told me they skip them, which makes me a bit annoyed, but I still do them because I want more people to enjoy the things I do and I love to know when they actually do it.
So, well, whatever you are going through, whether you write about it or not, I hope we can find peace, amidst all the chaos.
