4 years ago, nothing was going right. Everything was messed up. My personal life was almost destroyed. I was a social phobic. My grades were falling. I was suffering from depression and anxiety. I didn’t express my emotions and never talked about the things that made me distressed, angry or upset. I was insecure. There was a lot of mental pressure.

And one fine day, something happened in my life which triggered everything. My mental pressure became unbearable and I self-harmed myself. I cut myself. There were 14 scars on my left hand. Those scars changed everything and it was all possible with my sister and my best friends. They helped me get out of my depression. They helped me to overcome my phobia my anxiety.

They boosted my self-esteem. They made me realize that they were and will always be there to listen to all my crap and that I am never alone. All these things taught me one important thing – No one’s life is perfect and it can never be.

All you can do is make it better. And in this journey, you may face many hurdles. You’ll also meet some people who will try to make you fall. But always remember, it’s okay if you fall. All you have to do is to stand again and continue your journey. Sometimes, you may need help to stand up. Sometimes, you may need time to stand up and it’s okay.

As Confucius said, ” Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” Stay strong, share your problems and seek help if you need.
