reminder

5 more days till February 23. It’s going to be three years since that day when my friends and I were given another chance in life.

I know what I’m going through right now is so minor compared to what other people, even my close friends, are going through. But I’m just really stressed out. I’m really trying hard to not allow this to consume me, but I’m having a hard time doing it.

I’m holding on to that February 23, 2008 afternoon and the reasons why we got out of that situation safely and alive. I just need to be reminded that my work does not necessarily define who I am as a person, especially the things I hear from other people. That it’s just something that I need to do for a living.

I am in such a vulnerable place right now and I think I’m losing my self-confidence. I just need to be reminded that I was given a second chance for a reason. That it shouldn’t have to be this hard and consuming. It’s either I get myself out of this situation or I change my perspective of things. I just need to be reminded. Lord, remind me please.
