It's a relatively simple concept. If you're tired, you go to sleep. If you're hungry, you eat. If you're thirsty, you drink. These are natural connections even a newborn could make. However, I'm finding it difficult to rest or nourish. Anxiety can be cruel sometimes.
Frustration - to be in an unpleasant situation that can not be changed. Well, we could always change. At what cost? What do you do when you want change but every perceivable option is worse than your current?
I've been told "it's all about perception". I agree wholeheartedly. Everything looks like shit from down here.
Disheartened - when the one thing you absolutely adore and cherish becomes an incredibly challenging part of your life, especially when you feel like it should be the most elevating. How do you live without what you can not live without? Everyone has something they depend on. Something, someone…
"Perception. Look at it from a positive point of view." Well, you can't really have a positive if you don't have a negative. And wouldn't you know that they are attracted to each other? To ignore the negative and only view the positive is... well, ignorant.
Exhausted - when you try and you try and nothing.
And that's the worst of it. Nothing.
But is nothing really all that bad?
If you are reading this, you are incredibly spoiled. We have so much, yet describe it as nothing, purely because we didn't acquire something new that was ever so desired. I consistently have to remind myself that when I think I have nothing, it's realistically to be defined as:
Nothing - Everything. It's all within me to work hard for what I yearn. I have all the support I need, the information I require and the able body for execution that is necessary. What I lack is strength, in which I find confined in the thing I adore and cherish the most. But rationally, it's something I need to discover within myself. It's not fair to use something so precious as a crutch.
"If you fall seven times, you'll just have to get up eight."
And right now, that's all I can do. Perception, right? Rest assured that (the) rest will come.
