Not sad but….

Is anyone else not sad but not happy? I have no idea why I feel this way. I’m blessed but I’m just in a phase of meh 🫤. I can’t even explain. I want to cry but also I want to laugh. I try to take it day by day and not let things out of my control bother me. Idk, I guess I want to do more with my life, however, feel it’s too late. I feel like I waste my time even trying. 🥺

... Read moreMany people experience moments of emotional ambivalence, where they feel neither completely sad nor truly happy. This can stem from various life experiences, transitions, or even an existential reflection on one’s purpose. The term ‘meh’ often signifies a lack of motivation or enthusiasm, which could be influenced by burnout, anxiety, or underlying mental health issues. Understanding these feelings is crucial to moving forward. One strategy is to acknowledge and accept your emotions without judgment. Engaging in activities that bring joy or fulfillment, even when you feel ‘blah’, can help in reigniting passion. Additionally, speaking to someone you trust, like a friend or therapist, can provide clarity and support during these confusing times. Sometimes, the pressure to feel happy all the time can compound feelings of dissatisfaction. It’s vital to remember that everyone goes through ebbs and flows in their emotional state. Redirecting focus to small, attainable goals can create a sense of achievement and motivation. Actively participating in social interactions and surrounding oneself with supportive communities can foster connection and uplift one's mood. Remember, it’s okay to feel this way, and you are not alone in your journey.

Sad feeling? • Scripture Romans 12:15
It’s okay to be sad or feel sad as long as we don’t allow that sadness to consume us. It’s okay be sad with your friends or lovers or strangers because maybe being sad is what will help them through what’s going on. Not everyone wants to immediately be happy or hear the saying, “things will get

My college experience and the sad truth
My first year was one of the best years of my life. Although I wanna go back for my second year, I cannot afford it. $8000 for one semester is not that bad, but I’m not getting any financial aid. I know loans exist and I’ve applied to many, but every one I applied to says I don’t have enough credit

Heartbreak is not always a sad ending ♥️
I feel like throughout heartbreak also comes a new point in your life. It’s the growing from the heartbreak that can be a struggle. But once you take that new step in your life you can use it to your advantage of finding yourself.
