Don’t Lose Hope

Published by Kima Rodriguez

Nowadays, many things have changed, and we have no choice but to accept and live with them. There comes a time when a particular point in our lives falls without prior notice. The unexpected happens, and we don’t know how to stand up and fix ourselves. I experienced my downfall. After so many challenges happened in my life, I felt that I just wanted to give up on everything, everyone, and even my life. I experienced such things that I can’t even imagine could happen.

I am having a hard time coping with other people recently. I was embarrassed and disappointed by the people whom I truly trusted. Shit, happens, right? But why I’m experiencing these things? Sometimes I want to be alone and shut people out. I’ve been engaging myself in the online world for the past months. Playing different types of games, chit chatting with other people around the world. Seriously, I love meeting new people. I’m somewhat excited about exchanging stories and experiences in life because, for me, it is one of the best ways to know the person better. But what if you meet someone who would destroy the inner peace in you? What will you do? In my case, I can’t completely cut ties with them; however, if it’s the right thing to do for myself, then I have no choice.
