To be honest…

To be honest — I feel a bit lost and uninspired today, so I’m only writing to release my thoughts.

Today I can’t give you something valuable, I’m sorry. Not that I have readers waiting for me. But if you spent time to get here, thank you very much! Please allow me to write this personal blog post. Just to get myself working, really.

To be honest — I consider that maybe I’m extra emotional this week because I’m on my period.

I don’t want to always think of menstruation as the reason why I feel down. But it relieves me thinking I’m not really lost — maybe it’s just that time of the month. And soon I’ll feel better.

To be brutally honest,

I hate the people who allowed this pandemic to spread.

I’m aware not all of us are educated. Not all “leaders” have the same thinking. We all have different interpretations of what’s right and wrong, sadly.

But if not because of those people, no one would’ve lost jobs. No one anxious about finances, no plans changed, no one separated from loved ones forever.

My problems aren’t as challenging, but it’s been a struggle feeling out of control.

The pandemic has made me rethink my goals. I had to adapt, but it’s harder than I thought. Most of us probably feel like we’ve arrived in a new place, trying to figure out our own new normal.

Two weeks ago,

I wrote my first article here originally entitled:

“5 Quotes as Steps: Overcoming Anxiety When Goals Seem Impossible.”

To be honest — I still find myself feeling down at times, like today. But I remind myself again and again: progress, not perfection.

See, I’ve written this much. I’m making progress. *pats myself on the back*

I compiled these 5 quotes to be my own guide whenever I’m feeling anxious. I hope this article can help you too.

Funny, did I just advertise? I thought this was a personal story?

I guess I did. But right now I’m following my own advice there — particularly step one:

“Working on a problem reduces the fear of it. It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it — even if progress is imperfect and slow. Action relieves anxiety.” — James Clear

I started this article having zero motivation to write, but I wrote anyway. And I feel better now!

BRB, writing again.

Thanks for your time!

My name is Enne, and I do graphic design + photography.
