Starting a new life, meeting new people, and adapting to a new way of living—this is something I’ve always dreamed of. But why? Is it because I’m dissatisfied with my current life? Am I being ungrateful for what I already have?
Lately, I’ve realized that much of my time is spent in a state of worry or anxiety, mainly due to my tendency to compare myself with others. It’s a pattern I often don’t even notice until I’m deep in it, trapped in a cycle of self-pity and inaction. How do I break free? How do I improve?
One thing that’s been weighing on me is the pressure of starting university—a fresh start, similar to my experience in England. I’m no longer a child; I’m responsible for my decisions, and I know the choices I make now will shape my future. This pressure can be overwhelming, but is it self-imposed? I think so. Much of it comes from comparing myself to others my age and where they are in their lives.
How freeing would it be to focus solely on my own path, without envy or comparison?
The truth is, we all try to predict our futures, but none of us truly knows what lies ahead. The uncertainty can be daunting, but it’s something we must embrace. There’s value in the unknown, and it often leads to unexpected growth.
One lesson I’m learning is to step back from my problems and see them as a whole. More often than not, things aren’t as bad as they seem. Perfection doesn’t exist. Everything in our world is the result of a series of random, improbable events. We come from chaos and uncertainty, yet we constantly seek perfection.
It’s time to accept the mess, embrace the unknown, and find peace in the journey.
