Everything may seem hard right now, but I encourage you to take a deep breathe and let all the stress out of your system. You are obviously reading this article because something in your life has knocked you down and you are struggling to get back up again. You may have broken up with a significant other, lost a friend or even got fired from your job. Right now you are just looking for that push to go anywhere but further down.
I’m here to tell you that you are certainly not alone on this crazy ride you are experiencing. It may seem that nobody truly understands what you are feeling because in order to understand, they would have to experience the same type of emotion too. Just because some people aren’t feeling the exact same feeling you are doesn’t mean that they don't understand. In order to move forward, surround yourself with people who constantly support you and want you to succeed. You need to be around friends who would do absolutely anything to bring you up and get you closer to your end goals. You need to start laughing and smiling more because you'll find yourself moving forward a lot faster if you try to have a good time instead of sulking in pain.
I am not here to say that its going to be easy because it is not. Losing something or someone extremely important to you is one of the hardest experiences we will ever have to handle. With time, the pain will get easier and you will learn how to live your life again. But even with time, this pain will not necessarily go away You will just need to learn how to live with it and to not allow it to consume you.
There is a reason why the rear view mirror in your car is so small and the front window is so big. It is good to look back every once and awhile at the past but you have to pay attention to all of the amazing things ahead as well. Just like in a car, if you look in the rear view mirror for too long and not pay attention to what is in front of you, you will crash.
There will come a point in your life where you cannot keep letting this pain you are feeling consume you. If you just broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend and you are trying to move on, but it is just so god-damn hard because they were your everything, I am here to tell you that they have lost something as well, losing someone as amazing as you. If you just had a huge falling out with one of your friends and you don't know what to do, I am here to tell you that they will NEVER find a friend like you. If you just lost your job and you think you will never get employed again, I am here to tell you that you need to know your worth and you will find a job again. I know it may be hard right now but continue to push forward and don’t look back in you rear view mirror.
