How do you know if you're not okay? Experts say that whenever we don’t feel like ourselves and struggle to do what we are used to doing, it’s likely we’re not doing okay.
Well, I'm not okay. I'm doing the thing I love the most every single day yet, I'm not completely happy. What I considered my passion turned out to be one of the causes of my stress and doubts right now. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know what my "passion" is anymore. Oh, my 20 year-old self who thought had figured life already would be so disappointed knowing this. Then add the pandemic... *cue in Chandler* could life be any more unsure than this?
But one thing I discovered in this uncertain time—you can't control the situation but you can control how you respond to it.
In my case, I dress up to keep myself motivated. It might make your eyebrows raise but seriously, dressing up totally helps boosting my mood. It makes me feel beautiful and empowered.
Cliché as it sounds but it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to doubt yourself but don't let it consume you. You may be on a tough spot right now but trust me, you'll find your way out. Little ways can pull you out of trouble, even if it means simply dressing up or just doing what you love amid the uncertainty.
So now, I challenge all the women, including you, to keep doing what you've started. Don't stop, and be the person who makes us proud to be women.
Beautiful, strong, and valuable—let these words define you.
