“It has been a very strange and Armageddon-ish couple of weeks…”
It has been a very strange and Armageddon-ish couple of weeks, and that is putting it lightly! Right now, there’s a lot of fear, anxiety and even anger pervading the Earth…
“Everything is falling apart and I feel so lost…”
And although it may seem as if everything is falling apart, it isn’t! It just means that you are going through changes and that’s a good thing. And this time in your life could be a godsend for you. Maybe this time and this experience is here for you to reassess your priorities, help you figure out who you are and what you want out of life and for yourself.
“I was a shy, ugly duckling who was bullied by others…”
I don’t mean to come off harsh, but I see it so much nowadays, especially with the invention of Instagram and social media. There’s a false sense of self-worth that pervades our society that is based upon looks and a defined set of standards of what beauty is.
“I always attract shitty, abusive friends…”
You are your best friend, your biggest supporter, your ride or die. You may have others in life who will treat you with the respect and reverence that you deserve, but no one can love you the way you love yourself or treat you as well as you can treat yourself.
“If your path or journey through life is smooth and linear, are you life-ing right?”
A path without peaks, valleys, winding roads, or without starts and stops that require you to pivot isn’t a life worth living. Indirect and crooked paths that require us to deviate from our projected paths solidify our mental fortitude and increase our stamina, self-confidence, and self-love.
