thanks lisa michelle
if you can look yourself in the eye and honestly say that you are working on it, then you are already doing it. Life is working on it.
there are so many tools and tips out there on how to do what it is you are seeking, there is bound to be some that will work for you - be persistent! i find it so encouraging to hear people seeking better ways, to be more. We all gotta cheer each other on.
i dont know if it would help but, what works better on those sunny days? You say you do better, etc... maybe it would help you to put words on those things. What works better? what feels better or different? You like being outside... how? why? what does it do? It's rhetorical, but it's essentially asking yourself to flesh out what matters. There are bound to be things you are doing or thinking on sunny days that may be applicable to rainy ones if you figure out what they are.
Congrats on your caring attitude towards others. Learning to like yourself is an admirable goal - don't give up on it because it will certainly have its challenges.

Shangrala... waking up with someone you love is one of the sweetest rewards in life. Treasure that.

I've lately come to the same kind of conclusion, and I know I want more! I want to live! I've never been satisfied with just surviving, but I haven't quite found my way to be ok, to live. I'm working on it.
I do feel much better when it's sunny, to be outside in nature... that feels like living, taking in all the beauty. And trying to appreciate my family more, feeling the love more, I've been so moody lately, I want to reconnect with my mum and get the friendship back, to make HER happy again because I think I've drained her of a lot in the past few months. I'm going to work on being a nicer, happier person, someone who other people would WANT to spend time with. If I can be that person, there would be no reason to dislike myself!
Good luck in your own journey, little rhino it's so great to hear this shift inside you has happened and you are taking actual steps to have the life you want. |
