Coffee Talks: Proses And Roses

Rest

I left Wattpad for about three weeks. Truthfully speaking, my anxiety was too high to handle. And I know I needed to take time off social media---even including this one. Although I was curious of my notifications from time to time, taking a break really did help me. I realize how important it is to take a rest from the social world and acknowledge your life as it is; just you.

Taking a rest, like what I did, is always okay. In fact, we should always remember to do it. There are so many demanding things in our lives. So many things that require our full attention. We turn to these things too much... that we're slowly forgetting to think about ourselves and our mental health.

We all get tired. It's just plain truth. We get sick of the things happening around us repeatedly. We get tired of exchanging endless conversations with people online---tired of having to wake up everyday, only to be greeted by the same problems we've been facing for the longest time.

If no one tells you to take a break yet, then I will. Give yourself time to meditate. Time to just breathe and acknowledge that you are here. You are alive. And you matter. God knows this is what we need in these trying times.

As always, I'm with you. And I hope you get to regain your strength one of these days.
