Feelin and needin a infusion of self esteem

[Sabbath_Star]

Hello everyone:

I hope that everybody is doing well despite all of us living in an insecure type of society that we all never know what will happen. It has been a long time that I have shared what’s been on my mind yet day by day I feel the same.

So what has been troubling me is that someone I know that a lot of people around me loved and respected had passed away a month and a half ago. This person was in an assisted care facility and pretty much don’t know how it happened, yet the person was around my age. I knew the person from where I volunteer at since I have not been working since COVID began. There was a memorial service today and though the person was in my thoughts and condolences were with the family, I didn’t not feel content to be there at all. What is bothering me is that lately I wish it should’ve been me due to the feelings of being expendable and wouldn’t make any difference or no one would notice. Yet to turn things around for my own sake is that I shouldn’t worry about what others think even if they think they are better or more content than me though times like these make it harder to see the big picture. So eventually the things I do and talents I possess are my own and should not compare or stand up to anyone. So in the end, it is quite moving to say these things and have the ability to share them with people all around.

I feel that I should call things good so I hope that we all take care of ourselves, stay safe and strong, and we’ll get through the various crises together all the time. Ciao!!

Sabbath_Star Thanks for a very insightful post. You are absolutely right in that we needn't compare ourselves to others. We all are our own person and bring with it

everything we need to survive. The only standards we need to live up to are our own.

Feeling this way, will entitle you to live more at peace within yourself.

Stay safe, Stay well my friend. Together, we've got this Ciao... xx
