A short story that will serve as inspiration for you
The alarm interrupts your morning peace and, with effort, you get out of bed heading to the closet in search of a sweater that will keep you warm.
You pull your hair up in a high ponytail and use makeup to conceal the imperfections on your face.
You add eyeliner and a touch of gloss, trying to hide the dark circles that betray your tiredness.
In front of the mirror, you sigh as you see that your efforts to look better seem insufficient.
You drive to work half asleep but maintaining a friendly smile with your colleagues, even when you feel drained. The workday passes quickly although your thoughts wander incessantly.
Although you long to return to rest in your bed even for a moment, you understand that there is no time for it.
The after-office arrives sooner than expected; however, you prefer to go straight home rather than continue pretending to be okay in front of others without truly feeling that way.
You yearn to find someone to share your feelings with; someone who understands how difficult it is to go through these lonely moments. So far, you have only found disappointment...
Returning home after work, you feel confused about what to do with yourself.
Anxiety overwhelms you along with a deep sadness. Despite having friends, work, and loved ones, there seems to be something missing.
It's time for night rest but you decide to take a long hot bath first.
Let the water wash away your daily worries while relaxing your tense muscles.
Gently clean your skin with aromatic soap until you feel calm.
After leaving the bath, dress in comfortable pajamas and thick socks to keep yourself warm.
Carefully detangle your hair before going to bed and try to fall asleep.
Before diving under the covers, turn off all the lights allowing total darkness.
Take a moment to observe the celestial beauty from the window. The stars shine offering you hope.
Feel how their light envelops you providing comfort.
Let the stars remind you: no matter how hard this moment may be, there are higher forces always protecting you.
Do not lose faith or fall into discouragement; this bad day does not define your entire existence or any uncertain future.
Be understanding with yourself always remembering to practice self-love; listen attentively to that internal voice encouraging you to persevere step by step without ever giving up.
Tomorrow will be another day full of new opportunities and challenges to face.
Close your eyes, calm your mind, and inhale deeply. Allow yourself to feel sadness if you need to, but also let any liberating tears flow, releasing accumulated negative thoughts during this exhausting day.
