To live instead of exist

out of control  — 4 months ago

Work has taken over a lot. I feel out of focus not sure what to do in the world. Basically losing interest in things I enjoy doing and rather staying inside the house hiding or from total exhaustion. Honestly, I like to be more open around people I can talk to and be friendly with, which helps me boost my self-esteem a little. I’m just so sick of them being judgemental and telling me what I should do with my life while constantly being strings attached to something that seems almost impossible to escape. I guess I’m just not trying hard enough. A weak person. Everyday is the same miserable day. I’m always filled with anger sometimes ready to pull a trigger at someone or throw something at them. Not literally, though..but you know what I mean.
If only someone could help me get out of this dark misery and loneliness all at the same time instead of living to one’s expectations and lose the fake smile for once.

Ami starts fresh daily

i hear you

everyday is the same, nothing changes. but the only one i can blame for the monotony and misery is me. all the people around me that annoy the hell out of me: that’s my fault – a combo of my perception of people and my choice not to remove myself from them.

i’m coming out of it, slowly though, but i can see a horizon. what’s helped me: tons – and i mean tons of self-talk, discussing real issues with myself and not just complaining in my head. also, being honest and vocal with people and axing that fake smile. and one more: taking tidbits of various self-help info (i’d never buy a book, or participate in a scripted lifestyle change – no one should think happiness is obtained through someone else’s idea) and absorb the things that are relevant and make sense.

so, you’re not alone – i understand.

notyours is smiling.

you can do it!

clear your mind, get away, it seems as though you are stuck in a vicious cycle. go to the ocean, breathe again. find out what you really want from this life and just go for it! don’t let other peoples’ perceptions of you stop you from being the best you can be. laugh, live and love! and it is my promise to you that your life will be fufilled. success isnt determined by how much money you have, nor is it by what position you hold in society. success at the end of the day is determined by whether or not your happy. so lose the fake smile, and look for the real one. it is there.. you’ll just have to find it.

Thanks for all the advice. I’m really glad I’m not the only one. (:
And I’m slowly learning to take risks and getting out of this “bubble”, in order to find out what it is I truly want that makes me happy. You’re right, there is more to life than just money. Up until now I’ve been so overwhelmed and felt like a “slave” to someone while being treated with no respect from others. It was totally not worth it. Good thing there’s still time left..’cause I want to prove to people that I can be successful too, but in a positive way.
