Blossoming Beautifully- A Journey of Growth
The path we travel, the struggles we face, and the fires that burn inside us define our journey. It's not just a smooth ride; it's a rollercoaster of challenges and triumphs.
I don't want this post to be like any other I've written, merely recounting tales of trials and victories. Instead, I strive for realism. Recently, I came across a post about healing that resonated deeply with me. It highlighted that healing isn't all about relaxation and self-care; it goes much deeper.
Wildflowers of Wisdom first took root in 2017, in the confines of my dorm room. Although I put it on hold until 2020, the flame was reignited. At the beginning of this year, I set forth my goals and prayers, hoping for answers. Yet, many times, it felt like my prayers went unheard.
One specific request was for an exit strategy from my job, and life had a surprising way of answering it. I was unexpectedly placed on administrative leave and later let go from my job. Although this was not what I had in mind, it brought an overwhelming sense of peace. I knew I had to find my way through this uncertain territory. So, I dedicated myself to my studies during those months, and despite the challenges, I made it through. I embraced hard work and took up jobs as a delivery driver and shopper. I refused to sink; I chose to swim.
Though it was a sad time, leaving behind the familiar workplace and the meaningful relationships I had built, I found relief in moving on. That job had taken its toll on my mental health, and now I was free from that burden. It was a painful but necessary experience. As the sadness subsided, I found a newfound purpose and passion. My focus shifted, and I became more enthusiastic about my brand, praying for its success.
Throughout this process, I discovered parts of myself that had been dormant for years, blossoming before my very eyes. It was a wonderful feeling, reigniting my creativity and passion for writing. I chose to see the stress and hardships as valuable lessons, taking accountability for my role in it all.
In the end, I am grateful for this beautiful blossoming journey. I invite you all to continue sharing this journey with me. Let Wildflowers of Wisdom evolve from a simple blog detailing my successes and failures into a beacon of hope for those struggling with depression, on their healing journey, or embracing a gentler way of life.
