Things go wrong from time to time. One moment all is well, the next it isn’t. This year has, for the most part, been great, with the bad thing being the financial aspect, but there is no point in being negative about that. After all, I have made sacrifices and changed my daily lifestyle, and in doing so, I might not be having as much fun, but I have seen other benefits, some of which have done me very well. Weight loss, more time outdoors exploring, less time indoors, and not visiting the city as much to spend money.
Making these changes and also cutting out subscriptions, hidden costs and unnecessary habits has allowed me to cleanse my mind and put my focus into things I enjoy. I no longer feel nervous when writing blogs and instead just enjoy letting my mind flow and open up to the paper. I enjoy throwing myself into online communities and socialising, and no longer worrying about whether I meet their criteria. Lastly, I have learnt to enjoy my own space and be happy when alone. Reading, Blogging, Gaming, Networking, etc., all small things I do each day, soon add up and in the weeks ahead make a huge difference.
I can say honestly, yeah, I am not where I want to be in life. I wish I were more financially stable, healthier and happier. But at the same time, it isn't doom and gloom. I am not as happy as I wish, but I'm not sad, and I am not negative to myself about it. In the dark times, I found small things that, now in better times, have enhanced me more. The world is a funny place sometimes, and if you look in the wrong places, you'll find toxicity and negativity everywhere. It is much harder to find the good things, but it is worth it.
I will leave this short ramble here for today. Thanks for reading, and I hope, in your situation, no matter the circumstances, you can always find the positives.
Hello Chris,
Lovely to see you, I was wondering how you are getting on.
It sounds a bit swings and roundabouts, but steadily building 😍.
Hope to see you soon.
Hi Shani.
