Eight
We all need to inhale and exhale through our nostrils every once in a while. Once we fuel our minds with the right amount of oxygen and disposing of the unhealthy doses of nitrogen that's affecting the way our mind works, that's when we will start acting and thinking normally as any normal human being should. Given the amount of stressors and problems and issues that we constantly face in our lives, it is highly important to take into consideration how we properly manage our emotions, thoughts, and feelings and how they would subsequently affect the people around us.
I've been self-aware since I was really young. It didn't really matter that people would think I was stupid, illiterate, and wacky for all the things I've done in the past. I was being my authentic self since the very beginning. It hadn't really occurred to me just yet how things would steadily become over time. The thing is, I didn't have everything under control, and that's something I've grown to accept over time. To say that I've learned to become stronger would be an immediate and direct testament as to how much work and effort I've exerted over the past several years.
I couldn't be bothered to copy somebody else out of insecurity and jealousy. I just have to repeatedly force myself to look inward and see all of the shortcomings and imperfections I've committed that led me to become the person I am currently. It was worthwhile seeing all the moments that had me putting down every single bad situation and learn lessons from them. It was anything but easy. I quickly realized that some situations stay with you for a long time. For some, they know how to just fucking deal with it.
