“I'm always there for other people. I support them, help them grow, and try to be someone they can count on. But when I need help, where is everyone? People laugh at me, make fun of me, or dismiss my problems as if they don't matter. Even my own family doesn't seem to understand what I'm going through. I'm tired of waking up every morning and facing the same problems all over again. I don't feel happy anymore. Life has started to feel like a never-ending cycle of problems that I have to deal with alone. The worst part is that I'm still expected to keep going, keep improving, and keep figuring everything out on my own. Everyone wants to see you succeed, but very few people are willing to stand beside you when you're struggling. Honestly, I don't know what to do anymore. Given my circumstances, I feel like moving forward is my only option, even when I have no idea how I'm supposed to do it. I'm not posting this for sympathy. I'm just tired of pretending that everything is fine when it isn't. If anyone has genuinely been through something similar and has any advice on how to get through this phase of life, I'm willing to listen. Any honest suggestions are welcome.”

Honestly I don’t really have advice since I’m going through a similar phase in life rn. But yeah that’s how life seems to be, no choice but to keep pushing forward. Time doesn’t stop for anyone so no matter what happens we all keep moving forward whether we realize it on not and there’s no shame in struggling or in showing that you’re not okay. If you can I’d say to reach out to someone close to and that you can trust. Just make sure to always pay attention to small things and give time to yourself like going to see a movie even if you have no one to go with or taking a walk in nature. Time really doesn’t wait for anyone and I don’t think you should wait for others either. Make sure to live in the moment, help others, and take care of yourself bc you only get one life so even if it may be difficult make sure to remember to live in that moment as well and not to ignore the struggles but to embrace it and become a better person. Keep pushing forward and growing, stay safe ofc.

Hey, I am at a similar phase of life, I guess I know the feeling more then anyone else, it's like we are expected to understand everything but when it comes to people understanding us, it never happens like our feelings don't matter, and that what we are going through is just a trivia matter. Every morning feels the exact same, it feels like the world around us is moving but we aren't. I honestly don't know how I am doing this, but I am just waiting. I am 17yrs old so I can't leave my home, I have no ways to earn so I need to depend on my parents so am just waiting till the time I can move out. I one thing I have realized over time is that, I don't have to pretend anymore, I do not need anyone to hear me or understand me, cuz I am there for myself. So hey, I don't know you but I am there for you, so every time you feel this way I hope you remember this msg from me and it puts a smile on your face. Life is short, and in this short life let's not bother about others, let's grow together to become a better version of our selves. - with love K.K
