Emptiness
The feeling of emptiness and unfulfillment crawled and have stayed for months now. Before, these were just occasional visitors that don’t stick for long but this time it seemed different. I have lost focus on a lot of things that have greatly affected my efficiency and effectiveness at work which is really frustrating. I feel so unmotivated that I don’t look forward to my future anymore. I sometimes end up crying just feeling lonely. I don’t really understand myself anymore. Maybe, some of the reasons are working in a foreign land, being unable to express my pain towards people due to being introvert, overthinking, heavy responsibility, and my birthmark. I just don’t know because I always try to see the positive things in people and in every situation but maybe my efforts aren’t enough. I just feel tired and really needs a break but I can’t be selfish because I have a lot of responsibilities.
It’ll be alright, these months will pass, you’ll grow and you’ll be happy in sha Allah. Everything will be alright like it always is ☺️
Thank you very much for your encouraging words. I really hope that happens soon.

Hi 731, I'm sorry you are feeling empty and alone right now. I understand how stressful working in a foreign land can be especially when your away from friends or family. And crying and expressing emoitions is ok and sometimes even helps us feel better! What do you think could make you happier and feel more fufilled in your life?
That’s my question to myself as well. Nonetheless, even if I know what will make me happy, I won’t be able to pursue it because of my responsibilities. Thank you for your kind words.
