This is the Sign You’ve Been Looking For.
Give me strength and wisdom, God.
It was the closest thing to me praying.
I was desperate. I got fired from a job. I found the love of my life was sleeping with other women.
Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations, I kept saying to myself. But it didn’t feel like it. I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I tried to keep positive, being a student of personal development.
What I have learned: don’t suppress your emotions, let them out.
If you feel like crying, do so. Let it out. Don’t bottle the negative emotions inside. They will flare up at the most inconvenient time for you.
I was desperate, panicking and my self-esteem dropping lower and lower.
I allowed it to feel the emotions.
It was a dark period in my life. I was lost, stuck and desperate to change.
I was looking for a sign which direction to take to improve my life.
I didn’t realise it at the time, but I had to go through that period to find myself.
Sometimes, you have to reach the bottom to rise to the top.
