Crystal, have you asked yourself what YOU want to do with YOUR life? Do you want to go to college or is it just your parents? If this is not what you want, then please don’t do it. I mean, do it, get into debt, spend your time on things you are not interested in – if you want to become really unhappy in your life. I’m sorry to be that harsh and direct but this is just how life works. Don’t live the life others want you to live. I know you are afraid to disappoint your parents if you don’t fulfill their wishes for you, and this fear probably comes from you being dependent on their love to you. However, learn to give this love to you yourself, so there is no chance for others to put you down easily. I really wish you living a life YOU dream of. So please, do what you love, it is your life.
Martina WeissParticipantJust one thing: You are neither a loser, nor a failure, no matter what the people around you or your inner critic say. The way to get back to the life you had before is to start to believe in your worth and your capabilities. It seems like you’ve lost this. What is it that makes you happy? What is it that you want to do in your life? What do you want to create? What is joyful for you? And, who are you without the voices around you? Try to figure out those questions. You deserve an amazing life. And you are enough the way you are right now! Do you believe when I say this?
Martina WeissParticipantI’m so sorry to hear that! What has happened to you that you feel so bad about yourself and your life? How come you are so sad? It is totally ok to pity yourself. Stop blaming yourself for anything. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are a winner. You are a winner since you came to this world. Life is supposed to be something beautiful, something joyful. Don’t give up. You can turn things around, ONLY YOU. Take responsibility. And make a change. Let me know if you want to talk anonymously. We can stay strangers. I’m happy to help. Just don’t give up on yourself.
Sending you much love and a virtual hug!
