SELF-HELPY_ TWO WOMEN ON A TRAIN
I couldn't sleep well at night. Different thoughts came flashing before my face. Yea, this feeling comes once a while but this was so intense. Staring wistfully into the nothingness of the young night.
And even when these thoughts came knocking, I had no choice but to give them audience. They will always come as a question. Questions I find hard to answer or apprehend. Questions that end up telling me how my future seems uncertain and when I finally get to answer them I feel so worthless and ashamed of myself.
They don't just end there, it kept coming with those failures and the worst moment I wished to be buried within. Indeed memories are a weapon, it serves as a tool of control to the holder but it also a means of harm. Lying on my bed trying so hard to take charge of these thoughts I remembered the story I read about two women on a train; the first woman was in a good mood reading a book that got the attention of the other woman who thought that life was so unfair to her for giving a disabled child as she narrated her bad situation to the happy and cheerful woman. the happy woman consoled her and said to her;
" This must be so hard for you. but it always good to look on the bright side of life"
Yet the sad woman didn't see reason with her as she was so engulfed with sadness but later on she found out That the cheerful woman also had a bigger problem compared to hers. The cheerful woman had three disabled children. The story ended by saying " we can't change everything in our lives , no matter how hard we try and when we realize and accept certain things the way they are the happier we will be"
Those words brought peace as I constantly believed in them.

You know what?
This feeling has more power when we compare our lives to theirs, forgetting that just maybe those persons have their own problems but decide not to let it define their moment. Let's try and accept certain things we have no control over. It's hard but it's a reality we have to live with.

Yea, I didn't know when I snoozed up to sleep, waking up so refreshed and energized. Find peace with yourself today.
