Conceptual Preservation… Vanquishing the enemy

We go to war everyday.

Do you ever feel like you’re in a constant battle between you and your thoughts ?

Have you ever heard of the saying ‘you are your own worst enemy’ ?

I can tell you first hand, that saying is as real as you can get.

Life is a struggle, and realistically no one has it easy; some people just have it better than others. What can you do? Nothing – because it’s just the way life is. It’s frustrating, it’s difficult, it gets better, it’s amazing and we’re back to square one again.

I get it. Everyone has their own struggles and you can’t take that away from someone. However, it’s okay to keep a little perspective at times in order to keep your mind grounded.

All you hear nowadays is self love, and fulfilling your own destiny. It’s claimed to be the key to solving all of life’s problems. I’m not going to lie to you, something about it does work, although it is definitely not as easy as it sounds.

There are days on end where I just want to sleep all day. Not because I am tired, it’s just because I can’t be bothered to face the world. I find it extremely difficult to motivate myself at times. I also have weeks where I will work non stop because my drive is on some sort of adrenaline steroid that I conjured up in my 2am thoughts.

I know that I am not the only one facing these struggles. We all go through it. We all go to the same war together and do it alone.

Sometimes it can be scary asking for help, especially when you don’t understand what’s wrong. If you feel like something is cutting you up but you can’t quite put your finger on it, just tell someone.

Don’t block out the world. As lovely as it would be to get away from all the chaos and drama, we’ve gotta get through it. One battle at a time. We can do it together because being a part of a team will help you be stronger and it is better than struggling on your own.

There’s nothing wrong with being independent and trying to get through things on your own. I personally hate relying on others myself. But the truth is, life is too hard to go through shit loads of stuff on your own.

‘He will change’ ‘She won’t do it again’ ‘I won’t let it happen’ ‘It doesn’t matter, I’m fine’

Denial can be a dangerous thing. Having someone by your side will protect you from destroying yourself at times.

Don’t be afraid to speak out.
