So, I never thought that I would be sharing this but here I am. I was in school and I found out that my best friend uhm well whom I thought was my best friend was talking bad about me behind my back. And now when I look back it doesn’t seem as bad as it did in that very moment. Nope, it still hurts! Cause she knew all my crazy secrets. I confronted her and at that exact moment, our friendship ended and my secrets were out. And not gonna lie that was the biggest shock that I had since 15 years of school. People started to call me weird names, my crush knew that I liked him and everything started to fall apart. Later I browsed the Internet to get rid from this...and came up with a solution of writing things down, as I had no other option left I gave it a try and started writing a diary and trust me I wrote everything in it from what I ate that day to what I felt, my ideas, future plans literally everything as that was the only friend I had. My emotions were in control and with time people started to forget things about me. Things healed and I left writing as I didn’t feel the need to.  Fast forward to when I completed my school and joined college. In 2nd year I was feeling anxious and worthless all of a sudden. Didn't know what happened but I started to lose my self-confidence. Then, one good day I found this diary again and trust me I felt like I was meeting a long-lost friend. I started to read it and started to feel so bad about myself that once I was so ambitious and now look at me. The solution was not to cry but to take charge of my life again. Discovering yourself is not that tough just start to spend more time with yourself just like you do when you want to know a person.

I used to feel like I was carrying the weight of the world wherever I went - the stuff in my life, home, and schedule was wearing me down. I was angry, tearful, frustrated, and generally lacking in energy and confidence. My mental health was suffering, and I knew I needed to take action. That's when I decided to simplify my life.  I started small, taking consistent steps to simplify every aspect of my life. I decluttered my home, getting rid of things I didn't need or use. I cut back on my commitments and started saying "no" to things that didn't align with my values or bring me joy. I even simplified my wardrobe, sticking to a few basic pieces that I loved and felt comfortable in.  The results were amazing. Simplifying my life gave me more time, space, and energy. I felt freer to truly enjoy everything - my hobbies, my time with loved ones, even just a quiet moment to myself. My self-esteem and emotional well-being improved, and I had more patience, energy, and enthusiasm for life.  Through this experience, I learned that simplifying your life is one of the best things you can do for your mental health. It's not always easy - it can be hard to let go of things we've held onto for so long. But the benefits are worth it. If you're feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, I encourage you to take small steps toward simplifying your life. You might be surprised at how much it can change your outlook and improve your mental health.🤯
