╔═════¦☾When the path of life feels like a shattered bridge☾¦═════╗

Confidence. 

We all possess that inner strength. It resonates powerfully, as if it's something we could all take pride in. Yet I can't help but wonder: where does that confidence disappear when we encounter challenges on our journey?

Once in a while, the fragile fabric of our hearts can tear when faced with the bitterness of another's negativity. It stings, doesn't it? The truth is, not everyone will resonate with who you are, and that's perfectly acceptable.

You can't realistically aspire to be everyone's cup of tea; striving for universal likability often invites a fair share of enemies on your journey.

Embracing your uniqueness means accepting that some may not be warm to you, and that's alright.

Why should you feel the need to please others? What's the purpose? Is it to make them like every aspect of who you are? Sadly, that approach doesn't work. The more effort you put into getting people to like you, the more you end up hurting yourself in the process.

Indeed, we're all human, each of us carrying our own imperfections. When you dedicate yourself to helping others, you might find yourself trapped once more in the chains of old sorrows you believed you had left behind.

It's important to recognize that not everyone will embrace you, and your journey may resemble a winding path full of twists and turns, leaving you uncertain about which way to proceed.

But amidst the confusion, hold onto faith in yourself. Let your inner strength guide you, even on the most tangled of roads.

Embrace these words within yourself: "Life won't always be a smooth journey. I may not be liked by everyone, and perfection is not my trait, but I cherish who I am, flaws and all."

Trust me when I say that this mindset can shift everything. It's perfectly alright if you find that there isn't anyone cheering for you along your path; remember, you're never truly alone. Lift your gaze, and you'll find hope waiting for you.

There's God watching over you, offering guidance from above. So take a deep breath, and begin to truly live.
