My reality is that I struggle to trust others due to past experiences. At this juncture, I find it challenging to entrust my emotions to anyone outside of my family. My life's purpose has consistently been to support others, with faith as my sole companion. However, I must now prioritize self-sufficiency, acknowledging that ultimate reliance falls on myself. I've acknowledged my mistakes and shortcomings but neglected to claim ownership of my life. Currently, I'm seeking self-discovery to alleviate daily anxieties and secure my future well-being. Good night.
