Hello dear readers!
This week I thought I could change things up a bit and write about more meaningful things like my experiences and how I got through them other than trips and places I visited.
I started facing complications long before I moved to the UK even though coming here just made me stronger! When I faced these problems I felt like it couldn't get worse, but spoiler alert, it did! When I was back in India, the problems I faced were small (even though they felt big at the time) so I could handle them because I had distractions such as basket ball classes and art classes to keep me going but still I felt a kind of heaviness that I didn't have in me before, something that kept pushing me down; I became desperate to feel like I once did again. one night I was just reflecting on my day, thinking about the next one and suddenly, I came to a conclusion, nothing is going to happen if I sit there moping and complaining about my life! I had to pick myself back up and come back better than before! So I stopped focusing on the bad things and started developing my strengths and that saved my inner child and my mental health! Till this day I still can't believe I survived almost four months with these problems without my mom there! These difficult times prepared me for school in the UK.
After moving to the UK, I was ecstatic to leave all the sorrow behind but little did I know, things were about to get way worse! At first, the plan was for me to go back to India and I was extremely determined to never go back because I had a gut feeling that things were going to get worse so when I got into school here, I didn't even think about the fact that I might get bullied which made me blind to the consequences!
And on my first day, I got bullied but I didn't mind at all but from that day, things only took a turn for the worse! I got bullied so much so that I felt like I was drained from all the joy in the world because if they knew how much their words hurt, they never would've said them to me in the first place. I came home, dreading the next day and forgot all about my own advice! But soon after this problem became so bad that I had to move classes between year halves and now it has been almost a whole term with my new class and things did not get better!
But all this has made me realise that I shouldn't expect anything from anyone and should be a strong and independent person! Now I have finally accepted the price life comes with, and I'm ready to conquer anything that stands in my way!
To anyone else out there thinking you are not living the life you should or to people who feel like it would be easier to just stop trying, here's my advice.
step one: stop having expectations - try new things, take risks and live life in the panic zone! Without believing you'll receive something in the end. I know it sounds unfair, but this is how it is!
step two: create more distractions - approach new hobbies and pursue your interests.
step three: be yourself! - don't feel the need to change for anyone else because you are perfect just the way you are!
step four: have faith - you'll always have people on your side! People going through the same things as you! Just like I did!
I really hope my advice helps if not please feel free to ask any questions at all because I'm more than happy to answer all of them! Whether its about this blog or the previous ones :)
Here's a little message to the people who I'm proud to call my family and friends.
To my friends at school, thank you for giving me advice and sticking with me through everything!
To my youth group, all of you got me through more than you would ever know, coming to church was always the highlight of my week! And I'm forever grateful for that!
And to my Family, I know you have always had my back and will continue to do it till the end of time!
Thank you to all of you!
I hope you have a wonderful day! Until next time my dear readers...this is Renita Richard, signing out.
