Life was an unpredictable, had been challenging for her. Before few moths, everything seemed perfect. She had a good job, good friends and dreams she was passionated to fulfill. But life had other plans. She lost her job when her company downsized, her closest friend broke her trust and she found herself sinking into a sea of negativity. The weight of disappointments pressed on her shoulders, making it hard to move forward.
For 3 weeks, she shut herself away from the world and drowning in hopelessness. She wondered if she was destined for failure, if happiness was a fleeting illusion meant for others but not for her. The nights were the hardest, silent, lonely and filled with restless thoughts which refused to let her sleep.
But one evening when she scrolled mindlessly through her phone, she read simple but powerful message. "Stay positive." These were only two words, but they impressed her deeply. She became aware that she had been concentrating on her difficulties. This way that she had lost sight of the opportunities that lay outside of them.
After that night, she make a decision. She would not allow negativity to anymore. She have to take control of her life in every step.
Next morning, she got up early and went for a walk. She felt fresh air, lighter and more refresh. She started reading books on the topic of self improvement, writing her thoughts in diary and slowly reconnecting with people who truly cared for her. She even started applying for jobs again, despite the fear of rejection.
One day, she decided to visit to beach a place that had always bring her comfort like a child. She was watching waves roll in, Sitting there. Se understood something, just like this ocean, life is full of ups and downs. There always comes moments of calm and moments of storm, but both are temporary. The key was to keep moving forward, just like the waves never stop reaching the shore.
When she stretched her arms wide, she said to herself, "I choose happiness, I choose happiness."
It was not an easy choice, nor magical solution to all her problems. But it was a start. She knew there would still be tough days, moments of self doubt, and challenges next. But she also knew that she was ready to face them.
There was a small smile on her face when she woke up, wiping sand off her dress. The sun was setting, but a new day was waiting of her. With each step she took towards an uncertain yet hopeful future, she reminded herself of one simple truth positivity was not about ignoring difficulties, it was about finding the courage to rise despite them.
She got again good job with handsome salary, true friends and this make successful him in future life.
Now Hania is ready to embrace whatever came next.
