Finding Your Superpower.

I’ve probably written this post 9 times now, I don’t really know where to start. I write this feeling alone again, like there is this deep hole in my chest and it’s all I can focus on. I want this blog to be a place of positivity and if that is sharing the moments even when I am low to help others, then that’s what I’m going to do.
Loneliness is like an old friend. You don’t see them for a while, you change as a person, even forget about them for a minute. But when you see them, you remember what it was like before. What life was like before, and in this case, what loneliness felt like. You feel like everyone is gone, everyone is living their life in the best way possible, and then there is you, dwelling on yourself. You think about those moments before where you felt whole, surrounded by nothing but joy, and those memories should make you happy and positive, but all they do is just make that deep hole even deeper. At this moment in time, I would give anything to go back. To go back to being in a university flat, surrounded by friends, drinking, shit talking, having fun. But those times feel like a distant memory now.
But you know what?
Fuck this.
I’m sick of feeling this way.
Turn off the sad music.
Get out of bed.
You are the only person that can change who you are.
Life can be so much more. No more dwelling on what once was. The harsh reality being you can’t go back there again, so it’s time to make new memories. It’s cliché, but you only get one life, so we better make it fucking count. You are going to leave this world with your mark written all over it. You are strong. You are powerful. You are loved.
There is no more hiding what you are feeling or being scared to speak out about it. That stigma is bullshit and it is time that us and society break it. And the even crazier thing? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I will bet you any money right now that you have a friend right now that is feeling the exact same way you are feeling. Are you going to sit back and just put on a happy face so that you can dodge that conversation like people have done for decades because of society’s teachings that showing emotion is a sign of weakness? Fuck no.
Showing emotion and telling people how you are actually feeling is your motherfucking superpower.
Remember, you are incredible.
Never forget that.
Don’t Stop.
