Adulting Is Hard. But This One Small Thing Keeps Me Going Lately ______
Heyyyyyyaaa My Wonderful People! 💖
I really hope everyone has been terrifically good navigating their life's soft apocalypse better. I hope you are figuring it out one step at a time!
I seek your forgiveness for being unavailable for so many days. Life happens and it happened for me as well 😂 however I'm back. I really missed this space where life's challenges seem easy, talking to you all and seeing that more and more people are coming forward to share their heart and their valuable presence here, that's so appreciable.
That is what matters eventually. The whole purpose of this space is to give you a sense of togetherness and figure out adulting with more clarity, comfort and ease.
Today, I'm here to know what do you think about this?
Adulting and figuring out life is hard but gently accepting the reality without escaping or fighting it helps. Right? But what is that one small word, idea, activity, quote or possibly an advice that keeps you going.
I'll go first, "Every person who you see up there started from where you are now. Every master was once a disaster."
So, what's your take? You don't have to be deep, just be real as you are. And remember, we are all together in this, you are not alone.
Say this out aloud to yourself, I can & I will even when it's hard, I know it will pass, and I have the courage to learn my lessons.
Nothing is impossible for me because I'm the master of my fate and the captain of my soul.
Regards,

Adulting is definitely hard and it’s so important to find ways to keep going and stay motivated I feel.
I agree with your idea too, and it helps me to remember the same that whoever is currently at the peak, was once at the bottom and they started from there too, they had their struggles also.
In the age of social media and comparison setting in, What I also try to remember is that people only post about their achievements and highlight reels, not about their “behind the scenes” or the struggles they are facing~ seldom does one post any of this that’s not a “congratulations” worthy.
So it’s super duper important to remember that your journey is your own and you are allowed to have a different path or timeline, not everyone is in a successful job or in a stable relationship or owns a house by a certain age~ people can have different timelines and it’s very much okay to be at your pace; without comparing your journey with someone else’s.
On a very similar note about comparison, what really keeps things in a perspective is to understand the nuances of this comparison most of hoomans engage in, even unknowingly or unwillingly~ nobody ever would compare themself with someone who is in a “lesser” position than them ~ only with the one in a better/ higher position.
For instance no student who is currently scoring in 80s compares themself with a friend who is struggling to meet 60s ~ but only with someone who is in 90s or a perfect score achiever~ same with almost any aspect in our life!
And this kinda comparison when engaged in only to seek inspiration from someone doing better than us is still fine I believe~ it’s a motivating factor too, to see someone else doing better and it acts as a reminder that better is possible, it’s achievable.
It’s healthy so long it helps you push yourself more and motivates you to do better, like a positive influence.
We just need to learn to distinguish the lines though, when it starts affecting negatively and then it’s quintessential to distance self from anything that affects us negatively or ends up holding us back even more! Boundaries are essential here too.
Ah I got carried away lol but you get meeeee? XD
Long story short xD what keeps me going is to know that my journey is my own and to continue believing in myself! 💛

Thankyou Sunshine💖💓 for responding every time and making me feel like I should be doing more and it's so worth it! I love youuuu!💖And you know I just wanted to say something that does not fit here, in the Student's Forum, you asked me about the reward system idea? I wrote a big post for that but possibly, it was not sent so I resent it, just wanted to clarify.
As far as what you said, I completely agree with you. And if I had a chance, I would really have boosted this post up. What you say about comparison, it's so true. And nevertheless, people do have a right to celebrate and post their achievements, and it's so beautiful take it as an inspiration.
Your words are so full of heart and life! And certainly, it's so cute to see how you got carried away so deeply, when our real self just comes up, that's gorgeous in itself.
That's aptly said, everybody has their own journeys!
Would you like to collaborate with me, and can we work as a team for this community? Your inputs are really valuable. I look forward to your response! Feel free to say whatever you wish to!💗
