Sometimes, there are days when we only survive.
Personally, every single day of June 2026 revolved around the word survive. A lot of disappointments happened during that month, and while I really wanted to give up, I had to survive for my dreams and my loved ones. I have to.
Not every day will be a happy one, yet we have to keep going to see those bright days.
Sometimes, some days are just ordinary.
There are days when the only things I do are work and my routines. No random adventures, no special moments. And you know what? That’s fine. As long as I’m still breathing and my life is comfortable enough, I’m already grateful for ordinary days. Plus, ordinary days make the extraordinary ones more meaningful.
Sometimes, some days are depressing.
Like I said, not every day will be a happy one. During depressing days, I take a step back, feel the emotion, cry when I have to, and rest. And when I feel much better, that’s when I start to get up and continue.
The past several weeks have been difficult for me, but it has gotten better, and I’d like to keep it that way because I want to make the remaining months of 2026 great ones.
