Sudden Sadness

Philippines
March 10, 2018 10:25pm CST
I don't know why I feel so sad these past few days... maybe because I don't really want the things that I am seeing every day or maybe I don't like what I am hearing every day. I am confused or should I say that I have no idea what I really want in life. I don't even know what will be my future like. I don't want to get old without achieving anything, or at least a business that can support my family and my graying days. I am suffocated with rules and orders by other people. I want to breathe and live where I can see a bright future. Hope you all are fine and keep on believing and fighting for the future. AjA! God bless.

Sometimes what we want isnt always what we need. Remember that God knows your needs and will provide for you in the best way that suits them. Having gratitude and acceptance of all you have received so far leaves the future wide open for you to create with.

Thank you. I hope God will give me a hint if I am taking the right road. Its been a long and hard journey for me since then, I am getting tired knowing I am not gaining anything yet. But I am happy for all the things he gave me and still giving me a lot. Though I cannot deny the longing and pain in my heart at times that I am still here while everyone has their own great life.

@luisadannointed Youve probably gained much more than you claim credit for. If youve made it this far you are strong.

Do you live alone or with your family? Do you have a job?

Nope, I live with my family and I have a job, but my salary is not enough, and I am not performing well, though I really tried so hard.

@luisadannointed Could that be the reason why you're getting depressed? The fact that you live with your family can sometimes feel that we don't have much freedom and all your actions are limited. In addition, you seem to be unhappy with your current financial situation and seem to be disappointed with yourself. You need a break from it all.

I've had days like this as well. I sometimes cried myself to sleep, I guess this is normal for adulting. ;) The important thing is don't lose hope. Every day is a new day, it actually depends on our choices what would our future looks like. And I must say, don't overthink. Thinking so much about the future makes our present very hard to get by, so just go with the flow of the current. And also, don't be afraid to take chances. As the saying goes, when you are afraid of your dream, then you are dreaming big. Go for the gold!
