"Everyone presents an edited version of life on social media. People share moments that reflect an ideal life, an ideal self. And all that we are consuming are but carefully curated half-truths that perhaps, we all take too seriously." - ESPN on #LifeUnfiltered
In recent months, I have heard people around me telling me that they are not happy and that they feel empty and somehow, they think they are very much alone in this. We aren't. I'm told I'm innately quite an optimistic and resilient character but I have had my dark days and moments.
I have no magic formula. Everyone has their own coping mechanism.
For myself, it is cry, cry, cry, write, write, write, bend, bend, bend, walk, walk, walk, talk, talk, talk and then laugh, laugh, laugh. For importantly, don't run away from the dark moments and don't be afraid to reach out and seek help.
Sit with your feelings and tell yourself it is ok not to be ok.
