Life is not predictable; there will be certain things happening, and I believe it's all for my own good. Even if it's not positive, I still try to find positivity in everything because that's what I have learned through my journey. If I think of it negatively, it's a waste of my time. I don't want to repent on something that I can't change; if I don't have the authority to do anything about it, then why should I overthink it? Life is not that difficult unless we make it seem like that. Actually, it's in our hands to decide about our life, and if we let it go in vain, then it's not possible for us to move forward in life.
Learning from mistakes is the most important thing in our lives; if we don't acknowledge that, then we are going to fail again. For example, if I lose a friend, I would always think that it happened for a good reason—maybe he/she was never meant to be in my life. As I move forward to new chapters, I will have to leave some behind to meet new characters. This kind of thought saved me from depression and loneliness, and I don't doubt myself at all. If I didn't think this way, then I would feel really depressed about losing people, but it doesn't bother me anymore because I know I am right in my place and I did nothing wrong to make someone go away; I'm not a people pleaser anymore.
To be honest, I have experienced this type of situation many times. In the past, I did not take anything positively; I always thought that maybe something was wrong with me because everyone was leaving me. But actually, I didn't belong with them; I deserved better environments. Being positive leaves a great impact on my life because positivity is the source of everything. Ah well, I do still have so many problems in my life, but I think one day they will be gone, and I can have a peaceful life. Until then, I have to go through everything. If I think that nothing will get better, then nothing will actually get better. I need to think that everything's gonna be alright. I need to keep faith that my situation will change and it will not always stay the same as it is now.
I had a friend when I was in class 9, and she was suffering from depression. I do not wish to reveal her name because it's unfortunate that we lost her at a very early age. She used to share her thoughts with me, which bothered her about her weight. She could not lose weight, and everyone trolled her. I always made sure no one did it when I was around, as she was like a sister to me. She always told me that she felt she could never change her fate, and I always tried to make her understand that this is not the end of the world. But I failed to make her understand, and one day she could not bear it anymore and jumped off our school terrace. Her parents blamed everyone for her loss, but they should have taken care of it before it got this serious. Actually, the principal knew, but he didn't take this seriously, and this happened. I lost a great friend of mine, and I hope she's in a better place now.
So, I would say that it is better to stay positive; at least our mental health will be alright and not messed up. Better days will come; we just have to work hard for it because changes are not possible without our effort.
Thanks for reading 🌷
