This is a note to myself and to everyone who's overwhelmed trying to build a better life for themselves and loved ones.

Life is ironic sometimes... when you need a hug and encouragement it's when people avoid you the most. That's ok, don't take it personally, they are fighting their own battles as well.
I'm here to tell you that you can be the person who tells you what you need to hear. You're trying, you're working on something for a long time and you don't see results, but if you look back you'll see, you've done things, you've tried and you've learned. It wasn't in vain. You're doing great, even under challenging circumstances. It's all part of the growing journey, all part of the human experience.
Learning is doing something.
In life, you can't go over it, you can't go under it, you've got to go through it. The key is to keep going when others would've given up, is to take the hit and get up and keep going, is to constantly straighten the steering, reassessing, but keep going. Always follow your curiosity, it will take you where you need to go.
Things might not happen as you wished, or as fast as you wished, but trust the timing of your life. For it is happening now, and your heart is still beating.




I'll leave you now with a poem by Charles Bukowski.
