I’m sorry to hear your frustrations, my friend.
I can imagine how trapped and cheated you feel, like you have worked so hard and yet have nothing to show and nowhere to go. It doesn’t sound fair, like there should be an equal payback for all you’ve done and everything you’ve worked on. I wished life worked like a game, because most games are fair: you complete a task, you get your prizes for it, whether it’s gold, experience, items or fun trips.
It also sounds like you’re practical, concerned about the future and having worries about the world you live in are valid, even post-elections. It sounds like you’re doing the most to secure your future and manage your day to day survival: paying for gas, managing food costs, and living expenses. This can cause anxiety and worry to run our lives and kill our joy. It becomes a breeding ground for anger and pessimism, which overshadow the blessings and simple pleasures that still pop up in our life.
I remember during the pandemic when New York was shut down in a state of emergency and we were all forced to stay home. I was in school at the time and it killed me that I couldn’t go anywhere and it wasn’t even my choice. I had plans, I had many trips and adventures I was going to go on and people I was going to spend time with and it was all taken away from me and reduced to ‘what if’s’ and daydreams. It really did suck.
Sometimes our situation changes for us in unforeseen ways that we cannot control and are left to deal with the outcomes. When we can’t control what’s happening around us, we can control our reactions and way we think about our circumstances. If I’m forced to stay home even if I don’t want to, now I can use the time to clean and organize and work on everything I’ve procrastinated on because I didn’t have time before. If I can’t change the weather and go where I want to go, I find things near home that I’ve never really experienced or found joy in before. I find that when God closes a door, there’s a window nearby I haven’t opened in awhile.
It can be hard to see the little opportunities we have in life when we focus on what we’re missing out on. During quarantine, I discovered a love for board games and was able to cook more and develop my skills, which I regrettably would have missed out on had I not been home all the time, both which I make time for in my life now. If we change our perspective in the way we view our circumstances, it can greatly affect how we feel in the future, despite what may come our way.
I hope the good things in life find their way to you and you find every single one of them with great joy and pleasure. You deserve happiness and peace, my friend, and they’re never too far away to find.
