Life may be full of lessons but letโs not forget about the blessings too. ๐๐ฝ
Getting ready to head back to the states from an incredible trip to Zanzibar, and I can't help but reflect on the experience. Depression is real and it's something many of us battle with daily. But spending time in such a beautiful place, witnessing how differently people live compared to us, has put some things into perspective for me.
Seeing the simplicity and gratitude in their way of life made me realize how much we often take for granted. It's a powerful reminder that our struggles, while valid, don't define our ENTIRE existence. Iโm always saying my anxiety and depression is a part of who I am but not who I am.
Iโve had some major highs this trip but also some deep lows. Either way Iโm grateful for the experience and as I always say Iโm a work in progress. Iโm constantly questioning my place and where I fit in this world. Which can be overwhelming but I made a promise to myself that I plan to keep - to find peace within myself and to embrace every part of my journey, no matter how difficult it gets.
This trip was a much-needed reminder to appreciate the journey, embrace the lessons, and cherish the blessings. Iโm not saying it was easy lol but Iโm saying that today Iโm choosing to find beauty and be grateful for the small things in my everyday life.
Until next timeโฆ.
