The thoughts on my mind tonight

Love yourself. It’s not an easy thing to accomplish, at least for me. Once I discussed this with a friend of mine and we agreed that getting to that point wasn’t as easy as turning a palm.

They are easy to be able to suggest it, but to make it happen, it takes a lot of effort. At least for me, I should be able to recognize myself well. I have to learn to explore my strengths and weaknesses.

For someone like me who has mental issues, it’s hard for me to go through all that. TIME … Time that showed to me how to figure all that.

The experiences I’ve had, the mistakes I’ve made and all the things that have happened, whether good or bad, have had a profound effect on me.

Learning from my own mistakes and accepting that I was wrong is not easy. But to be able to get back again, learn to fly again and fix the situation, it took me a long time to finally figure it all out.

When dealing with other people, then proving that I want to change, I am the one who tries to accept my mistakes, to lower my ego, pride, understand that I am wrong, what a wonderful journey of life.

In the end, I found out how I could love myself. I can find happiness in my own way. Maybe for other people, I’m weird or often do crazy actions that are beyond their common sense.

I learned over time that no matter what I did, if someone had assumed I was bad, then I would forever be unable to change their judgment. Not everyone will always be in my story. Some just stop by in my story for a while, maybe just to teach me life lessons or those who take lessons from my story.

But whatever it is, once I can figure out how to love myself, I find peace. All situations that I face, if my mind is not happy, then I will never calm down.

It’s not only my mind that’s messed up, but it’s affecting my physical. I will get sick just because of overthinking and end up ruining everything in my life.

I learn to figure how I can deal with my situation, how I can enjoy and make myself happy with the situation at hand. Whatever the situation, as long as I can make myself happy, then I can find a ray of power, hope that can help me light my way.

Life will never be smooth, depending on how we accept and live it. Working hard to be better, fix my life even though it took years, I finally found peace for my soul. Only I can make happy myself in my story and if I don’t want to try hard to make it happen, even though millions of people try to help me, I will still never be happy.
