Sometimes you wonder why it’s hard to get what you want. Sometimes you wonder why the person you love doesn’t love you back, and you don’t love the person who loves you. Sometimes you look at your peers and feel less of yourself, they all seem to be better than you, but you started at the same pace and have maintained the speed, but the output does not complement the input.
Life!
That is life!
We may stay in our rooms, behind our phone screens every day, watching the ‘beautiful people’ out there living, laughing and being happy, wishing for our own time to be genuinely happy.
And we say, “This life no balance”.
I have read somewhere that the world itself might be picky and partial. Is life really about luck? Are the success stories we hear born out of pure luck and good fortune? What about hard work and consistency?
In life, we just have to do our part and work well. And live.
Our time is now.
Overcome your anxiety, make those friends, send that risky text, love yourself, and know that you matter. Be humble, and heed not to societal opinions, oppressions, and pressure. Be yourself and do what makes you happy.
It all gets better.
And I’m sure in the end, we all will acquire what we seek. And even if luck isn’t in the way, at least, we can testify that we lived. And we were happy.
