It has been a few weeks that I haven't written on Hive blog. There were a lot of things that messed up my plan. There are more covid cases in my city, which makes my worries double and my mind is full of anxiety. I am worried about my family members because my parents are quite old and not in good health. My brother is preparing to get married so my house needs to be repaired and reconstructed to welcome a new member. I had to move to another place for temporary living. It was such a rearrangement of my life. I was so busy cleaning up my room, rearranging my stuff, and categorizing them into many kinds of boxes. When I was cleaning things up, I realized that I did not need as many as I thought. My old room was full of things, which made it look cramped and smaller. I love and follow minimalism but I realized that I had to learn more and practice more in order to live simpler. More things we possess, less freely we live. I am a person who usually creates a perfect plan for my life but I don't really follow it strictly and get distracted a lot of times. Recently, I wanted to stay with myself, stay calm, stay silent to think of me, think of what I should do next, think of my priorities in life... Reflection time. I live busily, hurriedly every day, have a lot of tasks to do but I forgot that what are my priorities, what are really important things in my life. I spent a lot of time taking care of others but I forgot myself, forgot to take care of my mind, my soul. If I am not happy, I will not bring happiness to others. I remind me often. Although I have been trying and trying a lot, I have not gotten better. I must say in the uncertainty period, people seem like easier to get depressed, to overthink. Then... I came to some of my friends who are positive ones. I sent some emails, I went out with some, I took a deep breath, feel the air, and tried to enjoy the views, to do many tasks, tried to make my days busier... But I was wrong. What I need now is staying true to myself, embrace myself, my worries instead of going and going and ignoring them. Life is a series of days of trying. We try every day, we live every day, we work every but sometimes let ourselves relax and let our mind indeed take a rest. Then we will heal much more faster.
Never stop trying but also spend time on ourselves.
Happiness is the inside job.
