The real world can be scary sometimes.. people can be scary sometimes. And the thought of both can be horrifying.
The real world never waits for anyone, and whether you're ready or not, it moves on.. and we can't keep up sometimes, because it's all too much.
In the real world, everyone is judged, everyone is criticized, and sometimes it feels cruel, because it's hard to process that possibly everyone is judging you. And it's so hard not to care when you're surrounded with judgement. When you're suffocating from the judgement.
How are we supposed to live ? When life just looks like hard obstacles.. when for every happy moment you get, you get a thousand sad moments ? What's the solution?
The truth is, everyone has a diffrent solution. Everyone finds a different way to keep on living and not just surviving. Because everyone needs something different to live for. Everyone needs a different reason to keep on living and not just breathing.
And everyone suffers while looking for a reason to live, no exceptions, because we're all humans. Because the path to happiness is as long and rough as life itself.
And along the way, we give up countless times, we give up over and over again. Almost like climbing a mountain, and giving up every once in a while because you can't see the top of the mountain, so you think about going down, because your attempts aren't fruitful. And that's exactly the way life works.
If you're working towards a goal, work for yourself, not for the reward.
Because as long as you work for the reward, you'll never win, you'll never feel fulfilled. If you don't do it for yourself, then no one else will.
And even if you never reach your goal your whole life, you'll die knowing you tried. Which is more rewarding than any goal you aimed for.
If you're satisfied with yourself, then nobody can bring you down, nobody can affect you. Not when you're truely satisfied with yourself.
However, the change in you isn't going to start with sitting still, it's going to start with actually doing something. And until you figure out how to reach your goal, try taking care of yourself as a main goal. If you're truely held together, then anything after that comes easily.
