I’m Officially Dead

How many times did you feel like shouting those words?

When you keep going, doing all the right things, trying (obviously [and unfortunately] in your way) to help your loved ones to be better, but all you hit is a roadblock, how does it feel? For me, it always pained. So much so that I ended up causing pain to the same loved one.

To all those quotes and lines that say “you don’t control anything or anyone and all your attempts in doing so are futile,” stop staring at me. I get it but just cannot accept it (yet).

Here’s what I’ve been doing to handle it:

1. Meditate – I’ve been surrendering myself more to Yoga and Meditation. Does it help? Well, I’ve been a calmer person for sure.
2. Practice patience – Not everyone is the same. Their motivations, aspirations, even their destinations are different. Give them time.
3. Stop living their lives – I know it isn’t easy to see someone not living to their fullest. But that’s according to you. Maybe they are living to their fullest.
4. Walk away – Pick a sport or an activity to channel that negative force. I usually end up cycling or running (for long distances).

Side Note: That said, it isn’t easy but try and keep it less painful (most of all for you, because they aren’t anything without you).
