Mencelakai Diri

For once, I am going to try and write this story in English, even though the title says otherwise.

Have you ever had that period of time when you felt like you were at your prime and you were the best version of yourself? And now you try and look at yourself, and all you see is a very different person than you once were.

Have you ever looked inside and see all these potentials inside of you? The fire that once burned so bright but somehow has lost its spark and is extinguished by time.

Have you ever had that feeling of oh once again that fire is sparking? But then feel as if the fire is gonna burn and swallow you whole so you go back to bed and stay in your comfort zone.

I have. I am.

Staying in your comfort zone can be dangerous at times. You are holding yourself hostage from all the endless possibilities and you are putting yourself in danger of never improving.

You take away your chances at everything and throw them into a void.

You forget who you are, what you are, and the sole blocks that built you over the years of living.

Stop.

Re-connect with yourself. Remember the you that were once burning with passion and hunger for something more. Remember the dreams you’ve once had. Look for companions who are also striving, just like you, trying to reach their goals and fulfil their dreams.

Once you do that, things will feel as if they are easier. Because you are not alone. You never were. And now the region outside your comfort zone doesn’t seem as scary. And you have people who has your back whatever happens in the battle field.

So, stop sabotaging yourself. don’t be afraid.

strive.
