As we are condensed in our homes, left by ourselves inside our minds; how would you describe it? A tranquil time? Or perhaps a time of disarray, a chaotic time where it is hard to grasp all of one’s work and thoughts while struggling to finish all of one's work? Or do you feel disconnected from reality, watching time go everlastingly slow but oddly fast at the same time? Days go quicker but the periods in a day seem to last forever.
Being in our minds for all these weeks can be quite agonising, faced with all our problems, but we can learn from it.
What I mean by learn is to analyse the roots of our problems, slowly. I think it is quite thrilling to deeply understand one’s problems; irritating one’s mind and slowly discovering a bit more about ourselves; self-discovery. Why do I think this way? What made me feel like this? How can I overcome this feeling?
Accepting my flaws over these years has been interesting to look back on, we get to experience who’ll stay and who will leave, we get to look back on the hardships and see where we stand now, we get to become more knowledgeable from past experiences. Has it gotten better or worse? If it’s worse perhaps we can change it and in the future, we can look back at this time and analyse if we have changed and grown for the better.
Everyone must experience times of reviewing their insecurities and thoughts, we are more vulnerable to do this in lockdown. It is the beauty of growth, character development, change, and learning about our system and mindset and how we perceive our “flaws” and how we communicate and express that in our minds, on our self, to other people, and just everyday life; for example, if you experience agonising thoughts of self-hatred how do you express that?
And that’s okay, we can always learn and get better if we try, slowly. <3 Good luck being with your mind, it’s troubling I know, but you can do it. ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
