If you are also struggling, maybe you are the only person reading this story because only we can understand how painful it is to fight with your own family.

I don’t care if someone is there listening or not but I will still speak loud enough for everyone to understand and feel how difficult it is to cope with these situations.

I don’t care if someone says why do we care about what is happening in your life…

Excuse me, sir, you still have a skip button and you can surely do it like you are doing daily on most of the stories. So please just don’t make me feel sicker, I am already repressed…

I am not here to make someone feel sympathetic, but I have accepted that we have issues. My family is a typical traditional Indian family and there is much they still need to solve.

So I gather the courage to find peace in the beauty of nature, and sometimes even a crowdy road is much more peaceful to me.

I still don’t understand why people fight on regular stupid things, and sometimes things even get serious.

Nature has amazing healing powers, in fact, whenever I feel bad I run towards the most peaceful place away from every human, to talk to myself, so we can also try to be lonely for some time. It is ok to take time for yourself.

I am afraid one day I will leave everything and everyone behind and go to an unknown place where nobody can tease me for my family issues.

People act so funnily when they are not in the situation as if they have a perfect life. Nothing is perfect, the way towards perfection is the only perfect thing I can suggest, but still, I have a few who make me feel much more depressed than I am …

I understand how difficult it is, so if you are also struggling, buddy listen to the few words I have written, maybe they can help —

  • Everything is temporary — Even our sorrow, our guilt, and every other problem we have are temporary. Only we are permanent and we need to understand this.
  • You will do great in life.
  • Accept your present and past, accept your first the way they are, and things will be much easier for you.
  • Always try to make things normal, even if it’s hard.
  • Nobody can make you feel depressed until you feel like you are depressed, so don’t tell your weakness to everyone.

Even if my one single word makes someone feel good, then I made it. My purpose is to make people feel that things will not change, but our perspective on life will change everything.

I now ignore it when people are fighting and I observe them, they get irritated for me not being involved and then they forget why they were fighting 😂😂😂.

Mission successful…

That’s what we need to do in life, find a shortcut better than the present one to make things better.
