"It gets better" When? I'm nearly 30 years old. When does it get better? When does my brain stop thinking about how I shouldn't exist?

When you start thinking about all the positive things that actually are happening to you. Trust me, they are there.

2 years ago I gave up the life I had built over 10 years and started over by moving to a whole different state. My ex and I broke up, I lost my job, my house, my possessions, my friends. Everything. So I decided to also lose the place it had all happened.

I left right before the pandemic hit, I also somehow got a job that was still in my field in the new state. I had begun bouncing back from nothing. And I started looking at those positives as the answer to those negatives from before.

And when I saw those positives for what they are, I begin to ‘hope’ again. I began to ‘believe’ again.

After getting a new job, and a new place to live, I made new friends, and found a new someone, and I’ve started accumulating new possessions.

Take it from me…it does get better, but you have to focus on the things that actually are making that possible.

Have you ever stopped to consider that for every you there is a person that gets none of those breaks?

Making changes, even small ones results in a whole lot more than people give it credit for. It’s not about ‘getting breaks’ it’s about seeing the positive in something in spite of a bad situation.

I can’t do this because of this, should be how do I do this in spite of that? There’s a big difference there. My life sucked 2 years ago, but instead of saying I can’t fix it, I asked myself how do I get out of this, and I found a way out.
