23 And Feeling Worried

I tell myself that 23 is still very very young and life kinda have its natural flows and so I attract what I am, where I am and what I would become and so what I really mean by that is when you are ready, your minds starts to really look and it sees things that it otherwise did not see when you weren't ready. First instance you are in a season and then you work really hard to and you're trying to reach your goal that is for to become a great writer in the next three years, really that's a huge task that you have going on.

The mind cannot focus fully on finding relationship, likewise other things and also doing your work, so you and I priorities now is our work. That's where my attention and energy is going, and that's what you look like. What if I looked like I was into something and I don't have all the time in the world to be distracted, because my focus is on the grace and not that I can't have much fun if I wish to but it's just an unending ride..

Its not like you'd spend the whole time in the world getting facials and hair do or whatever it might be. I've got to stop listening to what other people want for my life and if that is my desire I have to first look at the roots.. the pressure I face daily, where is it coming from? Have I made efforts towards achieving my goals within the required time? Sometimes I feel that I'm going to miss out on the things of life because of fear..

I've got to look at myself, and be okay and comfortable with everything I do. We all have diverse preferences and good standards ... its back down to preference, do I set unrealistic goals and because someone else does the same thing I want to do that too. Life can be really complicated at any age, but if I want to break through worry and thinking I have to put in place some factors. If my goals are too risky that it makes me bothered everyday then its not a healthy one. If my goals are too ambiguous and complicated then it's not healthy too..

At my present age, so many thing could go either the right way or the wrong way, this is the ideal time when so many income related thoughts and how to settling Bills becomes too deep. If I'm not careful, it can lead to some serious mental issues very soon. It's also the age when everyone expects us to be vibrant all the time and make good use of every opportunity, we will find a way to pull that through but at the cost of hurting..

Let me not lie to you, I check my blood pressure daily because some part of me is feeling the strength and daily struggle.. It doesn't really help much as I'm going back to my shell planning another route to achieving my goal. I think I digressed a little bit but back to the picture, take good care of yourself always. There is time and season for everything, do not reach the end and end up dying out of frustration...

A little story as I wrap up, so a friend of my sister.. the same set but different course had a serious issue that she kept to herself and never told anyone even her parent. She endured all through her university days until she couldn't hold it much longer... her heart rate was easily triggered anytime she worries over anything. After her 4th year in school before the convocation ceremony she slumped and died instantly. It was a very painful happening that day which could have been stopped if she where on drugs and was tutored the true consequences of worrying and anxiety...

As I was composing this, my sister told me the full story and my mind was made up to take things easy... it may take more than the expected time frame, but with dedication we will meet up..

Thank you for reading...

I really appreciate all my readers and sponsors, thank you so much.

I thought you're older than me King but now I know that I am a year older than you hihi.

And yes, let's take things easy. Pressuring ourselves to do something might affect our mental health. I am experiencing things like that this month and the struggle is real. I worried about every single thought that came inside my head and it's eating me.

reading the last part makes me sad, worried, and scared at the same time. Because I was like that, sometimes I kept everything all by myself and I won't tell anyone that I am not feeling well. I also experienced having a very high fever and I was all alone in my boarding house until I couldn't take it anymore and I called my mom.

It's so sad for your sister's friend to end up like that.

Everybodyโ€™s got something to say about what you do. People you know, people you love, people you hate. Even people youโ€™ve never met in posts like this one. They tell you what to do, what to think, what you do right or wrong. How to be better, live your life, and further your career.Their intentions may be pure, but the reasoning is often mismatched. They don't know what you should do either. just do what you love doing and what is right

People shouldn't think too much about your age, it's just a number.

I believe that there is a time for everyone and everything, and not everyone moves at the same pace and accomplishes their goals and dreams at the time they planned.

You should keep working? Yes.

You should have goals? Absolutely.

But I believe nothing good comes from obsessing with time.

Very true boss, we should take life easy so we wouldn't end up losing our life. A lot of people are in a hurry in life that they end up taking very risky routes just to get to the top and in the process, they end up regretting it. I believe it's far better to take things slow and consistently, in the long run it will definitely pay off

Our ages determine to what extent our thinking abilities will be. Take for instance, a person of 30 years should be more experienced than a person within the age range of 19-23 and even 27 but come to think of it, even those at such tender ages have made some thinking improvements over time than those of a more advanced ages. All that is required of us if we must make the right decisions is to be focused see and be a little more relaxed about and quit making some rash decisions that could either mar us and eventually impede our chances of success as I maintain that age is but a number in achievements. So brace yourself up and stand firm with your mind and never allow any form of rash decision making to creep in so that you can as such, enjoy the full benefits of being young and the potentials of achievements that awaits such a lovely but critical age of yours.

Oh you are very correct brother, some age time are too demanding and critical than the others. It is the where we allowed to make our mistakes then end up correcting them when we've eventually grown up more advance in age when such youth exuberance of mistakes will no longer be called to the mind

Sometimes we cannot avoid to feel pressure especially when were thinking about future.

We let ourselves be pressured by the ages we had because we tend to insist that 'awe we are already 23 or 24 but don't have any achievements in life''it is very common delimma as this age and I accept that because I am one of it. The pressure is everywhere when you keep fighting for your family but we don't have any choice just to wait our own timeline.๐Ÿ’›

One major cause of this said pressure is when we start to compare ourselves with others and ofcus there are people younger than us who have achieved all this, and although it is common but everyone's time will definitely come...

I got goosebumps after reading the last part of the story about the student. Some would really keep their health situations from their parents so they won't worry about them. But if it's serious, I guess it needs to be told to the parents. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Health should really be taken into account and shouldn't be taken for granted.
