Finding Comfort in Chaos

-

 Life around us can sometimes feel discomfort, especially in this generation where almost everyone is more anxious than ever before. Nobody can fully give us the comfort we need; that is our inside job to make ourselves comfortable within the midst of chaos. Reading has always helped me escape from reality and visit a different world for a while. Everyone has a different method to help themselves find comfort. If something gets difficult in our journey, remember avoiding it won’t help you escape. It’s better to fight that challenge.


There are things we can do when things get hard. We can do different things to get away from the problem for a while and then revisit it — maybe this time we can look at it from a different perspective.

We are all worthy of love, no matter what your situation is. Being young or old won’t change the fact. There will be some people in your life who won’t make you feel worthy of love or anything, who will make you miserable. But remember, your worth is you. No amount of external achievement can define your self-worth.


Surround yourself with people who truly love and care for you, where you feel warmth and comfort. Focus on your mind, and write down all your thoughts, feelings, and emotions — it will help you process your brain.

There are so many voices nowadays around us that make us extremely confused and anxious. Lock up those voices inside a box and just focus on yourself.


Our worth and comfort don’t depend on any external achievement. Don’t let such people ruin your happiness. Going to your favourite spot — maybe a library, a park, or meeting with a person — can be comforting for you.


You are still breathing because the road hasn’t ended yet. Try to do the things you want to do under any circumstances. I know it will hurt, but life is so unpredictable. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, and you have to prepare for that. There will be good times for you — just believe in yourself. You are worthy of love, not because you need to be productive or achieve big things in life, but because you are born to be loved. Those things hurting you? You know you need to get away from them.


Life hasn’t been pleasant for you, I know. God has a greater plan. I can’t tell you what it is, but deep in my heart, I sense that you are made for greater things, and you need to be alive for that version of yourself. I know it’s been a long decade of sorrow you’ve been carrying. You won’t get there without suffering from all kinds of pain that exist in this lifetime to reach where you want to be. Once it stops hurting, believe me, nothing lasts forever — neither joy nor sorrow. Oh, you will realize the immense possibility you have in yourself. Nurture yourself with love, grow, evolve, and be kind to yourself.

I have found solitude to be my best companion. What can be more peaceful than discovering your feelings, thoughts, and endless infinite possibilities of things yet to be experienced? May I gain the strength for whatever I have to go through in life.

Things That Help Me Process My Mental Health

1. Reading books

2. Listening to music

3. Hearing Quran recitation (gives me some kind of different peace within me)

4. Writing about whatever comes to my mind

5. Being alone helps me think, process, and write about stuff, which helps me discover myself every time

6. Being with nature

7. Talking with someone in your life who truly values and cares for you, sometimes just being there for you in your hard times

8. Cooking — making your favorite foods often give you joy.


Into the Darkness

I have found my solace,
 For it gives me the strength to heal.
 Some words that I cannot utter,
 Instead, I bury them deep within me.

Value yourself even when nobody does

  Once you start growing up, you realize some people don’t like you anymore as they used to or pretended to. You are no longer their favorite if you don’t fulfill their wishes or listen to what they say. Remember, this is your life journey. Don’t live your life based on other people’s opinions; you need to make choices for yourself. You do not belong to them. Everyone is unique in their own way, and no one is superior to others. There are times when you may feel unworthy, as if nobody values or cares for you. This might be because of your surroundings — they don’t make you feel good about yourself and instead make you feel unimportant. In times like this, you need to gather yourself with love, care, and protection. Do not let people teach you hate. Don’t hang out with such people. When things get difficult, you need to treat yourself with small joys: go to a coffee shop, spend quality time with yourself, or go on a vacation if you can. Surround yourself with nature, and you will fe...

The Power of Giving

  Do you believe in the power of giving? What you give out to the world means you will receive something much better in return as a reward.  Everything you say, the things you do, the words that you choose to say, the act of empathy that you show towards other people — it all becomes part of the universe. Life has a way of paying back all the good things you show through different gestures that will come back to you.  We must become aware of our actions and the work that we do. The things that we bring to the world stay with us and become part of the universal soul of the world. We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Be thankful for the life you have, and spread kindness and empathy toward everyone. The Act of Kindness As human beings, what can we leave to this world? How do we want people to remember us? What should their impression be when they think of us? How do we want them to envision us? We will not take anything from this world, but what we leave on this earth is...

You’re On Your Own, Kid

  Things that didn’t happen in life, those who left you when you needed them the most — maybe those people and those things you wanted weren’t meant for you. You are on your own. Nobody will take care of you, look after you, or check on you if you are having a bad day, a nervous breakdown, or feeling the worst of life with continuous anxiety. You have to take care of yourself. Being 18 years old, I now realize how fast life moves on, how all those years just pass by in a moment. All the things I promised myself to acquire or learn — I haven’t gotten the chance to explore. Time passing by is a reminder of the precious moments slipping away from life. Stop lamenting over the things you haven’t achieved. You are the future of yourself, filled with immense possibilities. You can be whoever you want to be. You can live anywhere in the world if you wish. You are capable of all this. Life is short yet long enough to fight with yourself. Life is short on Earth; it’s important to choose the...
