Can't Stay Broken

Life is funny, our brains are funnier, and our feelings are just hilarious. As humans we get things thrown at us like it’s nothing. But there’s nothing that affect us as much as a heartbreak, a disappointment, rejections & many similar breakdowns. All those feelings have a negative effect on us, they tend to bring us down and break us. But the reality is that those feelings are thrown at us for one thing and one thing only, to make us better, stronger & wiser.

Let me tell you a bit about me. I’ve been through a fair share of heartbreaks or disappointments, they made me feel like I was worthless, they brought me to a dark place, a dark place that made me feel comfortable with myself, a dark place that isolated me, a dark place that made it OK for me to be by myself, a dark place that made it OK for me to stay in bed and do nothing productive. In addition, events took place & some things were said that made me believe I was meant for nothing, but when I finally got up and tried to do something with myself, another setback took place. Something was different this time around as I was able to turn that negative energy I had within me & use it as a stepping stone into a better me.

We are quick to consider the worst, to consider staying down until someone picks us up. When we find ourselves in that position and then someone helps us step out of it, it might not the best idea. We are animals, and if we feel the moral and emotional support from someone, we will rely on them as we rely on oxygen. See my example, when I was first on that dark place, someone helped me out of it, and for some time I thought I was OK, until that person left my side, leaving me all to myself as it all begun. I fell right back into it, with no idea on how to step out of it because, I depended so much on that person that I forgot about myself.

Using that energy and turning it into something positive might look hard and possibly impossible, but it’s not. It might be one of the most natural or organic actions we could ever make. Every time we get rejected, heartbroken or anything alike, it always has a reason behind it. Reason that to me, serve as stepping stones, a guide into the right path. Whenever people made me feel like I wasn’t good enough for them, I found ways to work on myself to become more than enough. If I was ever lacking or struggling on something, I worked or studied as much as I could to become better at it. So far, it has worked to perfection. There are only a select few feelings that feel better than proving people wrong.

Instead of feeling down, we should use that energy to bring our heads up and work. Work on ourselves, show those who ever made us feel inferior that we can. Do it for yourself, give yourself the satisfaction of becoming great, the satisfaction of showing other people that you can do it, that with hard work and dedication you can do anything you want. Most importantly, do what you love!
