I feel like I've been so overwhelmed in my life. Nothing seems to be going how I want to it. And that could be a good thing or a bad thing. Right now, it's a bad thing. What I thought were minor inconveniences seem to be lingering nuisances that won't leave my conscious. I know that whatever turmoil of emotions I'm feeling is nothing compared to those with even more struggles. But it's not a competition of difficulties. My emotional insecurities are something that only I could conquer. It's something I have to do for myself.

The mind is a difficult matter. Our understanding of it changes every day. With this in mind, how I can tear down these insecurities that make up the most difficult part of my being? For this question, I have no answer. I haven't successfully conquered my insecurities. As a young adult who's still trying to explore the real world, I have no experience. I am trying to forge my own path and make my own impact on this world.

But regardless of my inexperience and emotional setbacks, I'm making progress. I am slowly trying to remind myself that I am more than these setbacks. I am more than whatever is holding me back. Even though it feels like my life is a hot mess, it really isn't. I have with a supportive family, friends, and community. They understand what I'm going through and are probably going through the same thing I am. Obstacles will always be in my life, but I have to learn from them and keep moving. Even with unexpected changes, I should look at them optimistically. I can't let every little thing get me down. But I will always acknowledge that some days just aren't my days and it's okay. It's just a part of life.
