Sometimes, it’s okay not to be okay. It’s a natural part of being human. We often chase perfection—dreaming of the perfect life, the perfect partner, and a flawless existence.

But in reality, perfection belongs only to God. Yet, as humans, we tend to forget that.

I’m writing again after a long break. There was a time when I lost the will to put my thoughts into words. Busy schedules, unstable moods, and a lack of motivation kept me away from writing.

But deep inside, there’s so much I want to express—about my journey, my struggles, and my random thoughts. I don’t even know the purpose of it all. Am I sharing my story? Reflecting on experiences? Or simply talking to myself?

The Heavy Weight of Loneliness

There are moments when loneliness becomes overwhelming. Living far from family, with only a handful of friends, makes life feel emptier.

As we grow older, friendships shrink. Not because we don’t want to connect, but because everyone becomes busy with their own lives.

The Burden of Being a People Pleaser

I find it hard to say “no.” I constantly try to make others happy, even if it means sacrificing my own well-being.

Why?

It may sound foolish, but I always believe that if I do good for others, someone will eventually do good for me when I need it the most.

Caring Too Much – A Blessing or a Curse?

Perhaps it’s because I know what it feels like to be ignored—to feel invisible, to lack support when I need it most. That’s why I always try to be there for others, offering my attention and support in any way I can.

But when the roles are reversed—when I need them—they are often absent, indifferent, or simply unaware.

And yet… it’s okay.
