I remember how I felt that winter of 2014. And, when one is in a state of total darkness, it is difficult to see where the light exists on our paths. In my case, having faith and asking God was my greatest salvation. Also, I must mention that if it weren't for the values that my mother instilled in my life, I was able to recover from everything that was happening.
The birth of my son was another enormous step towards that new flowering of my being. Starting to feel it in my belly and knowing that that life depended on me is the most beautiful gift that any woman in a depressed state can receive. Of course, he really feels even a little bit of self-love in his heart. Because if not, what's the point.
I decided to write this post, it is not to boast in the least, but rather because if in one way or another it could help you obtain clarity and find that path towards your life purpose, I will be more than pleased. Worldwide statistics say that more than 350 million people in the world suffer from depression, including us women, making up the majority. It's alarming, isn't it? How can we, as human beings, reach such a terrible point that in many cases, we even look for suicide as the only way out. I know what it feels like, to be in a depressed state, it is an immeasurable evil.
The purpose of life, for me, is not based on having the things that one thinks will make one happy, such as wealth, getting married, positions or a sense of worth. Of course, that's all very good. But there is not the solution to your problems or to your life itself. More than that, it is what makes you as a human being and being unique keeps you motivated and in tune with your goals and dreams, it is living with intention every day. May every dawn, you feel motivated because it is a new day and you have tasks and dreams to fulfill. Friends, life is not about living it like a raffle or a lottery, that is where our mistake as human beings often lies. We think that working, and having a few moments of distraction and pleasure is enough and no, it is not like that. Let's make sense of it, so that our light from when we were children, that desire to learn and discover, does not go out because we are adults and we believe that we already know everything. There is and always will be a reason, the world is full of opportunities and in those states of depression, of course, we don't see it. The best thing we can give ourselves as human beings is to love ourselves, it is our self-love. Don't throw it aside, let's think about our body and everything it deserves. To have, that which many would like to have, to be able to develop their knowledge and that, in fact, they value so much when they lack it, going so far as to develop other skills. Take the lesson from a disabled person that their disabilities are worth the redundancy, they do not prevent them from being happy or doing what they want. Quite the opposite. Everything is important and even the least meaningless to you, you can have it and in a positive way.
From my history, I remember how this passion materialized in me. When certain days arrived and I began to notice how the activity that went from being my hobby was becoming my passion. Letting my imagination fly and always in a state of searching and creating paper flowers, I discovered my true self. Since I was a child I have always liked crafts and art, but it wasn't until I was 33 that I decided to put aside everything that tormented me and live for myself, including, most importantly, my self-love, and what I love to do. Why in that moment? because God wanted it that way. Because if it had not been for my lessons from the past, it would not have been possible to be what I am today. Because I understood that life has a deeper meaning, which goes beyond living the days just because.
