Hello fellow steemians! Today I wanted to share an important life lesson with you which I had to learn the hard way and Im also posting this as a self reminder that I can go back to if I ever forget this.
No matter how many friends you have, no matter how much your significant other claims that they love you and no matter how many family members you have = You came to this world alone and as such will you depart from it. You could be surrounded by thousands of people and still feel alone if you cant relate to anyone.
Im not saying you should go around hating people and transfering your fears and insecurities onto others, all Im saying is that you cant expect others to do your job or to rely on others when in need. Once you learn that, youll appreciate people around you much more and you wont get dissapointed in others, if you dont have any expectations in the first place. You must rearrange your priorities, sit down and think hard about the people who matter to yo u the most and ask yourself why. But most importantly you must work on yourself, put all your focus on your needs, wishes and dreams. Again, Im not saying you should be an egoistic, self centered bastard, but to be objective and considerate of yourself and people who matter to you the most. Life can get so hard at times, it even gets you thinking about thw worst, but there is no one else to blame for it except yourself. You put yourself in that position, nobody else.

You may not be in a position you hoped youll be right now and things may not have worked out for you the way you wanted up until this point, but dont just sit down depressed and cry about it. You need to put in as much work as you can, right now! These hard times are the times that matter the most and this is actually your moment to shine. Trust me, I have been so wrong about these types of things until I realised you, yourself, are 100 percent in control of your life. Take care fellow steemers, Ill follow you back and make sure I give you some upvotes if you interact with me in any way.
