I’ve been away for five months plus…
It really hadn’t been easy pushing the blog to the back of my mind whilst I got on with daily activities. I was in a situation where I needed to deal with certain recurring issues. The recurring issues felt so bad and literally put my mood and psyche on a path that I couldn’t predict a rewarding outcome.
It had affected my overall view and self-esteem, thereby causing me to evaluate myself poorly. Tears streamed down my face, and my mental health was at a downturn. The reason? I couldn’t decipher. It took God to step into the situation for changes to occur. I also reached out to a select few.
When they say that time is a healer, it truly is.
Even now, I’m careful of the things I accept into my being. I try to dwell on pure thoughts and keep my spirit uplifted through music, prayer, the word, and constant communion with God.
The world we live in is in a state of moral decay. It takes just a few thoughtless remarks or actions from one to another to start a spiral down the wrong path, with the weaker person being the worst hit.
To add to this, I started to experience writer’s block. Writing new articles felt like a chore. I only wanted to be left alone.
In my alone moments, I would ask myself why idleness kinda felt soothing.
I knew times when I opened the blog to try to write and had to close it. It took the gentle prodding of God’s spirit to resume. Simply because I owed you all an explanation for my silence these past months.
How have you all been? Hope you all are doing well.
If there is anyone of you who can identify with the above situation, it pays to reach out to someone who can help you weather through the storm. Mental health issues, as I’ve come to understand, shouldn’t be toyed with, no matter how absurd and irrelevant they seem.
I’ve discovered that talking helps a lot, especially with someone trustworthy.
Prayer, however, is always the surest answer.
Talk to you all soon.
