I was in a Discord group conversation yesterday, and we were discussing my country and how we quietly move on and adapt to things easily even though we might complain a bit, but we still go ahead to buy that expensive product. But deep inside, I realized that a lot of people still live with some things they never talked about to anyone.
Though it can be so disappointing at some point, especially at this point in my country. Because a lot of people had these glorious plans for their future back then, but today, those plans have started fading away. And a lot of times, a lot of people are being pressured by those relatives around them, and they go around with that pressure on their chest.
And sometimes when I sit alone, and think of the past, I do discover that I still hold on to some of these things. My old mistakes, things I should have properly handled, missed opportunities. Though I still continue living life, and that didn't stop my day-to-day activities but then, they are still stuck somewhere tiny in my mind.
Over time, I have learned something that usually works for me, but it's very real. Healing does not necessarily make noise or come in a way I expect. Most times it can be as simple as waking up, going about my daily activities, and slowly accepting that peace is important to me now because I cannot change some things no matter what.
Thank you for reading.
