Finding Clarity

For the past few months, I’ve been reading a lot of books and articles about HAPPINESS. 

At my age and state, I usually ask myself “Why can’t I be a happy person?”

I started feeling depressed. Not because I’m broke or failed my relationships. Most of the time I try to display a strong and stable personality, but in truth, I was worried.

What am I going to do with my life?

My friends are getting married.

Some are moving abroad.

Some have already started a family.

Most are already successful.

I’m doing pretty well myself. I have a stable job, my parents are still together, I have a wonderful relationship with my siblings, I recently met a very special person who inspires me everyday, I only have few friends but those I know won’t let me down.

But I still feel left behind. Like some hole was still there, unfilled. Most of the time I feel confused.

When you feel the same, what do you need to do?

Well, how are you supposed to move your life forward when you don’t even know what you feel or why you feel it? 

“I feel bad and I don’t understand why.”

You may be having a difficult time understanding or distinguishing your emotions like me.

Whenever I feel that I’m about to tick-off, I replay happy memories from the past that I tried to keep deep in my head. That way, any actions produced from a negative emotion will be prevented. Say you had an argument with a colleague at the office and you can’t say out loud your anger so you posted your rant on social media, how do you think people respond to that? 

We all have our problems and sharing yours all over your virtual friends won’t help, that’s annoying.

When you feel overwhelmed or confused, PAUSE. Try to identify what caused your sadness or shifts in your mood. What you currently feel and what you want to do about it. Take a journal and write down your thoughts, trust me it works.

Don’t let it get to your head.
