“My head is a hive of words that won't settle.”

I never imagined I would end up here.

I hate my life. I hate that I’m stuck living with my parents. I hate that I have become so isolated that I have no friends or anyone who shares similar views and interests. I never thought I would be this lonely.

I never knew how much I needed to hear that I was doing a good job until all I was hearing was critiques more tasks handed to me.

How to Accept Yourself

1. Focus on your positive qualities. It’s true that we can all improve in some ways – but start by finding your good qualities – and recognise that these are a major part of who you are.

2. Be aware of, and fight against, your negative self-talk. Negative self talk can quickly snowball and become an angry tirade against yourself – so you become your own worst critic and your own worst enemy. Instead, choose to respect yourself, to love, affirm and believe in yourself.

3. Don’t dwell on things you know you cannot change. We all have imperfections, weaknesses and flaws. They’re really not that crucial, and they’re not that big a deal. Try to keep them in perspective – and change what you CAN change.

4. Make your own decisions – don’t always look to others, and think that they know better … But choose to trust yourself.

5. Always try to do your best – as that’s all that is required. You’re a normal human being who’ll sometimes get it wrong. Get up, forgive youself, then just choose to move on.

If I initiate a casual conversation with you and you brush me off, I will never make an attempt to speak to you again.

It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

"I’m a very romantic person. I don’t mean romantic in a flowers and chocolate kind of way. It’s more like if it’s raining, I’ll go up to the window and press my nose against the glass and sigh at how beautiful it all looks."

“The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.”

At least once a week, I get so ticked off about something at work that I spend at an hour browsing job postings and editing my resume.

Woke up at 1am and all I could think about was everything I had to do this week and how I don't have the emotional and mental energy for any of it. Even the smallest task -getting up and going to work- felt so daunting. I just want to hide away and ignore the world.

As I get older, my birthday only serves to remind me of what I’m missing in my life, what I’m yearning for and still lack. And every year, those things feel less and less attainable.

“People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.”
