Writing Challenge - Day 1

I guess it's been a long time since I wrote my last post. Actually, I have a lot of thoughts I want to pour out. They’re just too tangled in my mind and not quite ready to be put into words yet. But I’ll share them one day, hopefully. 

I want to learn how to manage my mind better, and I’ve found that writing is one way to make our thoughts and ideas clearer. Good writers create systematic and coherent work. No matter what someone writes, it should be laid out step-by-step so readers can understand the point of the text itself. 

So, I’ve decided to start this challenge to train my brain. One simple question, every day. It won’t be hard, but it will require consistency and discipline. Anyway, here’s to the first question :3 

Day 1: Write about a recent life lesson you've learned. 

People change. It's often disappointing when I find out that some people — those who were once important — no longer act the way they used to. Maybe they've found new friends, something new to focus on, or they simply want to move on from me.

The more I think about it, the more it hurts. While they enjoy their new lives, I get stuck in the past. I always think about that whenever someone leaves me. Seeing their lives makes me feel envious and makes me wonder, Do they hate me? Is there something I did wrong? Did I hurt their feelings? What should I do?

My mind gets foggy whenever these thoughts take over. But that was back then.

Honestly, I've known this concept for a long time: the only things we can control is how we act and react. But I often forget to remind myself of this.

By putting on that lens, I can start to understand others. I know that some people really do want to leave, so why would I hold them back? I shouldn't be so selfish. Or maybe they aren’t truly leaving? I mean, everyone has their own life, don’t they? We all have our own problems and priorities. Maybe they just found their path? Who knows. I should always believe that everything happens for a reason. 

I should always ask myself bunch questions to stay sane and avoid being selfish. Yes, I still don't like it when people go, but that’s life. People come and go. And that’s normal.
