"The unexamined life is not worth living."
— SocratesTo exist is to live, to sink is to die. You exist, but you are not living. You are just barely hanging, trying to survive. You are just fighting to pass through the motions of life, no matter how chaotic your mind is. You exist in a body of a failing soul. You are drowning from the sea of unanswered questions of "Why am I here? Why I exist? What is my purpose? Why do I have to live? Why do we have to die?" Those were some of confusions we wouldn't know if we don't try to venture the realities of life.
It is being said that death is not the greatest loss that we can encounter; it is to be alive but dead inside. Demotivation, exhaustion, sudden strike of sadness and misery, constant feeling of disappearance, thoughts of being gone and far away from all the chaos we can't escape from—signs of being dead. Their ghosts keep on haunting us, even if we buried them in the grave of our past. They resurrect and visit us through our chaotic mind. These thoughts drowned us. We feel like our soul is shattered and continuously breaking into pieces. This torment paralyzed our will to live, unable to move forward and to push through it. And this is the saddest part of being alive in a body of failing soul. Fears and unceasing commotion inside our head is indeed the worst part of life.
But we can do something; we can get out of it. It will be hard, but it will be worth it. We can be free. We can sail again. We can exist without any negative feeling of not worth for it. We can live without thinking that we just need to survive. We can find our purpose. We can find our soul we've been searching for a very long time. We can be us. We can live. It is for you to find out how. It is for you to know how important you are.
Heal. Survive. Live. Everything will be better. You can be better.
