Feeling out of alignment with myself.
I feel like I was so neglected in life, that when I did grow up, I listened to what others wanted from me, expected of me, thought of me. I'm quite out of alignment with myself now. It's hard to think about what would make me happy. The loneliness that comes with this is hard.
Rather than listening to what others want, expect, or think of you; how would you want your life to be like? Yes, a lot of the times, we want people to think of us in a good way, and it's difficult to not compare ourselves with others. In the end though, how we see our lives and what we make of it, is all up to us. When we put our hearts and minds to something we cherish, we prove those people wrong. We show them that we are also capable and maybe end up in a better place than they are in. Finding something that makes us happy, it may take some exploration and discoveries for some people. The key is to not give up looking for it.
I'm quite lonely in my life too, but on the other hand, I've found a lot of support here, in 7 Cups. Although it's not quite the same as having someone physically beside me as support, but it does help a bit to know that I'm not the only person going through things. So, we are all here to support each other, you are not as lonely as you think you are~
