Image
  The experience of waiting is an essential part of life, whether it's awaiting a response to a job application, anticipating medical test results, or hoping for a decision on a significant life event. The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. The main challenge of waiting without a timeframe stems from the uncertainty it creates.

Don't Reconnect Due to Loneliness

Image
  Feeling lonely is tough, and it can make us want to reach out to anyone, even when we know they are not good for us. But here's the thing: reconnecting with toxic people when we're lonely is not a good idea. Sure, they might seem familiar and offer temporary relief from feeling alone, but on the long run, it can make things worse. Toxic people can bring us down, make us doubt ourselves or self worth, and even hurt us emotionally. Most times, they do not have our best interests at heart and could end up making us feel even lonelier than we were. So, it's important to remember that just because we're lonely doesn't mean we should go back to people who we know aren't good for us. Instead of going back to toxic relationships, it's better to focus on ourselves and find healthier ways to cope with loneliness. We can try new hobbies, reach out to supportive friends or family members, or even spend some time alone doing things we love and enjoy. Taking care of our...

Ultimately, em...

In the hustle and bustle of life, it often feels like we are in a constant race, trying to keep up with others or do better than others. The truth is, there will always be someone who is ahead of you or doing better than us. It might be in school, at work, or even in personal goals. However, it is important to embrace the idea that happiness can be found in our own achievements, regardless of what others are doing. Accepting that someone is ahead doesn't mean giving up or allow ourselves to feel down about it. Instead, it is an opportunity to appreciate our unique journey and accomplishments. Comparisons can be overwhelming, but finding joy in our small victories can make the race more fulfilling. It's about realizing that everyone's path is different, accept the fact that someone somewhere will always do better than us, and that's okay. Life's journey is not the same for everyone, and that's part of what makes it interesting. What brings happiness to one person...
