Some of you know me, but most of you don't. So allow me to fill you in.
Being a teenager in this day and age is harder than any of the past. Most teens now have some form of mental illness, because of all of the expectation and pressure to be absolutely perfect. I know I am not the perfect example of this, but every one of us has our Hump Days, where we are at our highest and fall to our lowest.
My struggle isn't TOO MUCH emotion. It is a lack there of. People want excitement and sadness. I can't give it to them. I find no point in brushing off your sadness or anger on others. I am the only one who can fix me and therefore, I write my emotions down to myself. It's a struggle for me. I want to be a writer, but you need to personify the emotion. It's easier on paper, but I have lost many friends because of how I act. That is my struggle.
I wanted to share this with you, because everyone has their struggles and their Hump Days. Recognize them in yourself and you will be spared the tired reruns coming from other people. You are you're own person and you struggle with your own situations. Do not let people control who you are or dictate where you want to be in life. Everyone one has the power to help themselves, but even then, sometimes we ourselves need an extra hand.
No one will ever be perfect. Not now. Not ever. But you have control over what you are self-conscious about and how much your struggles will dictate your life.
Take a breath and breathe. Remember that life is a game. If something gets taken, the game goes on and gives you chances for something bigger. Don't give up. Don't give up on yourself. Don't give up on your goals. Somethings are important and others can be put to the side. Don't drown darlings.
Take a breath.
Breathe.
And dive in deeper.
There's no need to float if what you're searching for is treasure.
With Love, SKW
