yourself first

Have you ever been fed up with everything and probably breakdown because you’re just tired and can’t seem to move on? In the heat of all this frustration, I believe, the first person by your side, is you. Yes, you. You’ll have this conversation with yourself, where you’re basically ranting  and trying to relive yourself of the stress.

It’s true we all have that one person we can always share our thoughts or problems with, such a person is never too far, rather present whenever we need them. Yet, before we’re able to confide in them, we’ve already had that same conversation with ourselves. Then, why bother sharing it to another? 

Looking at the birds, they literally own the sky, yet, they can’t fly all their lives. They’ll still need to touchdown to either grab food or roam the earth’s surface. The same way sharing with another helps, I guess. The saying “...know thyself...” is applicable in many contexts, here, it’s the fact that we need ourselves first in order to stay strong through difficult times. 

“Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted” In all your doings, your mind’s state is important. True, we’re all different and it could be you’ve never been in this situation before or you don’t have that one person. Whatever the case may be, apply what works for you. 

Another day with me cooking up things. This “other you”, I have no idea where it came from, but okay, I guess we’re still on the move. 3 more days!
