Time heals everything

Hi Steemians! It's almost since I joined any contest here on Steemit.

I want to give my insights about the "Time heals Everything" contest initiated by @ciru2014.

Created in CANVA

I believe in this phrase. Don't forget to inhale and reassess yourself when frustrated, disappointed, or under any circumstance. Be patient and calm. Always be reminded that it's better to settle things gently. There are times when we are out of ourselves and become violent. But one thing for sure, you will be healed over time. Recover from the setbacks and stand up for what is right.

I've had a difficult situation when I was trying to heal. It was all about hating myself. I have been a breadwinner since I was 16 and after 10 years, I felt disappointed, and I felt like I was a failure. Especially during the pandemic, I lost my job, and I lost someone. I felt like a loser. But still, I was still hopeful. Thinking about the future and my family, who are still hoping for my financial support. It was not easy. For 10 years, I always hoped that I would be able to study in college and would be able to wear a toga. Life was not easy. I felt inspired watching a senior citizen wearing a toga as they came up on the stage. I told myself that maybe this will be my future.

As I continue striving for my future, sometimes, my blaming behaviors kill me. I blamed myself and started to feel self-pity. I always remind myself the senior citizens graduated despite of their age. To end this difficult situation, I enrolled in the Expanded Tertiary Education, Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP), which led me to a bachelor's degree. At first, I doubted myself. During the first semester, I thought I couldn't do it and stopping crossed my mind. But, I always remind myself and strive for my future. I challenged myself to face every circumstance with patience. I was so happy because my family, friends, and workmates are very emotionally and morally supportive. They keep saying "we know you can do that and this", and that makes me stronger and challenged. Today, I am happy to share that I am one of the candidates to come up on stage wearing a toga. I am no longer blaming myself 'cause I feel like I have done so much, and this is not yet the end for me. This will be the beginning and more opportunities will come in the future. I am opening my door for better and new opportunities. I have healed and forgotten all the negative feelings I once had.

I am sharing this today not to boast, but to let everyone know that while time may heal everything, it is not effective without action. Do something. Make yourself busy doing your thing as I do mine.

Furthermore, time may be a magic solution. It may make your feelings wispy, but again, it is not effective without action.

Words can heal a person by making an action. In other words, words are not enough. For example, the word "sorry" can redeem oneself but there will be gaps between two people afterward. Words with actions can rebuild a good relationship.

• They always say that time changes things, but in reality you have to change them yourself (Andy Warhol)

My reflection:
Things change over time. Like our society, it is not the time that changes the things around, it is the people.

So much for that, the situations may be hard but always think of the positive side of it. Thank you and have a bless day!
