There are times when we get disappointed by ourselves, by something we failed to do.
You werent like this before, nor have you ever felt this down.
So, you find yourself asking, what happened?

Well, life happened.
That its not always rainbows and sunshine.
In fact, several storms are lurking in the horizon, testing you, threatening you.
You may be aware of it by now that life is full of highs and lows.
But still, that doesnt stop you from feeling like a lost cause.
You look around and see several people your age already achieving so much.

Some friends are starting their own family while others are busy traveling the world.
And here you are, not even knowing where you stand.
All you know is that youre stuck, that you feel lost, that youre failing in life.
What is it in them that makes them so lucky?
That it feels like they have everything figured out?
And what is it that you dont have that youre in this crossroad?
You dont know whether they are even feasible, of just far-fetched ambitions.
If theyre really what you want or just what you think you want.
Its like you lost that motivation in you to go after them.
You are not the person you used to be.
You are not the person you once envisioned you would be.
Youre just… you.
A disappointment in your eyes.
Nowhere near your goals.
You are not someone you ever thought youd end up to become.
And thats okay.Tell yourself that its okay to feel down and insecure.
Feel what you are feeling now, remember it, understand that it happens to everyone.
And eventually, make it as your motivation to act.
Feeling that you lack in some ways actually shows that you acknowledge that you have more space to improve.
Feeling down shows that youre aware that theres no way else to go but up.
Dont beat yourself for feeling down, whats important is that you dont stay in that stance.
You dont know whats going to happen and thats alright.
Some may pretend to, but definitely, no one does.
That is how life plays.
You will be able to take a few steps forward in a pace which is just right for you.
It may not be as fast as the others, but you are moving forward.
You are moving from the place where you thought you could never get away from.
Doors may feel like closing down on you but theyre not.
Maybe those are just not for you.
Maybe youre just not ready yet.
Or maybe, better things are coming for you.
Its just there, its just somewhere.
They also experienced times like this, they just made a way to work around it.
Its just a matter of timing and a way of thinking.
Just always believe that better things are coming, if not now, then soon.
And by then, you will finally see.
By then, you will learn to get up and embrace the sunshine once again.
