A Lil storytime for those of u feeling low

Coping / Recovery

So ...this is something that genuinely changed my pov towards life ...but .

I recently talked to this guy on plato

He was from south india ..not really sure where from exactly but yeah ..from south

I talked to him

I told him pretty much about my life ..how I felt so behind ..and my family dynamic

We talked on other voice channel

And ..the only thing I asked him was ..tell me st about yourself ..

And he said his life was pretty messed up but he still enjoyed it

Wondering what could possibly be wrong I asked him ..batao na go ahead

He was a topper till 10th std scored 99%

He took admission in 6 years integrated course

And he found like really really good friends

Like which basically changed his life

And in the final year of his course his father died ( when he was 20)

And ..his mother died when he was 4 months old

His older sister got married

He was all alone at his home

He got into an IT company

He earned well ...but the corporate life made him more deppresed

And he returned his hometown

And became a primary teacher

Because ...he finally wanted to do what he loved

He loves being surrounded with kids

And after all of this

You know what he told him ...

"THINGS CAN GO ABSOLUTELY WRONG BUT THEY DONT GET THE FINAL WORD AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE"

He also told me that sometimes ..u just gotta flow with it ...because u can't control it ..somethings in life can go so worse

But for him ..it didn't go worse until and unless he didn't die ...

After hearing all this...am I still worried about my career ,my life

Yes I am

But I am gonna come back to this every frickin time life knocks me out ....

there is no guarantee life works the way u want it to

BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALIVE THE STORY IS STILL BEING WRITTEN ...

BEING BEHIND ISNT SAME AS BEING FINISHED ...
