When is it okay, to say you're not really doing okay when someone ask you how you are? For me the truth is, even though I hate to admit it: I haven't been for awhile. I've been put through many trials from the very beginning of this school year. Some of the people who were closest to me are now so distant. People that I used to see everyday I only see once in awhile. I don't have a friend that's consistently there always anymore. People no longer have time for anything, and I have too much of it. Time spent overthinking, wishing for more, sitting in fear or sadness. Everyone I tell just saying sorry you have to go through that. A place I called home no longer feels that way, it doesn't even feel safe. I try to keep it quiet, let the positivity flow through me once again. That's what people want from me isn't it. The unbroken piece of me, the part that has everything under control. This isn't me now though. I have a pile of thought crashing in on me. I don't mean to make anyone feel depressed or sad for me. This is the blunt truth of what I'm dealing with. It sucks, and it isn't easy and I wish it was done. The truth is I feel lost and confused. But through God we are made perfect through suffering, and his timing is perfect. Everyone's dealing with something, and God wants us to know hes got us.
I wish there was more I could do as your Mom to make you feel better. I do agree this has really been a "growing" year for you, yet, your right that doesn't mean its been easy. It's been hard on you and I'm sorry. Trust me when I say I've had a year like that when I was your age, when I was with Ralph, things were just as tough. I was out there in the world all by myself, no friends, not allowed to talk to family.. no internet like we have now.. not even a phone... and it really did make me a stronger happier person when I got myself through it.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think everyone goes through this in their life- and the thing is that we don't even notice it. One thing I realized help me is making an attempt to reach out when possible- and when everyone is busy- I like to think that God has a purpose and plan for the quietness too. We usually grow the most when we are challenged to think within ourselves- sometimes doing things we normally don't want to do by ourselves- taking walks or reading or working hard or trying to figure out a problem... and the good thing is that if you appreciate the times of rest- when the busy times come and the fun begins again- you'll be more than ready for it. <3 love you my friend!!!! ^^
