You Are Not Alone

This is one of the more straight-forward ideas that we'll discuss on this blog. The root of our sadness and anxiety often stems from the idea that we have to go through the world's trials alone. That's simply and definitively, not true.

The human mind has a way of turning to a fatalist mentality fairly quickly for some of us. No matter how positive of a person that you are, it's a natural human trait to turn to the worst case scenarios and self pity when something negative happens to us. We prepare and control all that we can, but timing and circumstances will cruelly catch us off-guard every time.

It surely FEELS like you're all alone when you get slapped in the face by a harsh turn of events. But that feeling is a trick that our macabre minds attempt to hold us at bay with. People out there have gone through bad breakups. They've gone through financial burdens. They've gone through family issues. They've gone through job stress. They've gone through health concerns. The relatability is out there, even if it's not in your exact situation.

More so, people WANT to help you. You have a support system, even though it doesn't feel like it in this cold moment. You're NOT a burden if you reach out to people. You've made more of an impact on society than you realize. You feel lonely, but you're not alone.

So rest for a moment and breathe out, knowing that an unfair situation won't break you. Then reach out. Go out for a meal and put your mind on other things. Vent to someone you trust. Let them give you advice or relate to their similar stories and experiences. Tomorrow is one day closer to healing, and each day will be closer still. You will get through this. Just allow people to help you, just like you would do for them
