Sometimes, you just feel so exhausted living life. Why am I surviving here on earth? I might as well just die. Life just seems tiring when you have to go through all these in the 30 years of your life:
1) Difficulties in your career
2) Having to experience a panic attack due to work problems
3) Being treated like a doormat by colleagues due to one’s low esteem issues
4) Suffering a burnout from what used to be your dream job
5) Experiencing disappointments in your life
6) Friends who left you, abandoned you, outcasted you
7) Stressful relationships with your in-laws
8) Impatient husband who frequently engage in arguments with you
9) Lack of family support in whatever you are doing
Is there anything I have learnt from these experiences?
I’m grateful to be in a lower paying job (but happier environment), learnt to be grateful for what I have in life. Happy to be living a simpler life without the need to pursue my dream job. Or rather, I have learnt to lower my self-expectations immensely and love myself more. I try not to be a perfectionist and do not compare with other people about our life situations, because everyone is different. Whether my environment has forced me to become a certain way… I think I just want a simple life now. I have toned down a lot and no longer am the career-driven or ambitious person that I was in my early 20’s.
