My personal life backpack is filled with
numerous amounts of items—both being tangible and intangible. These items are
essential to me for educational, health, and self-esteem purposes. The
tangible artifacts I carry are: my cellphone, cosmetics, journal, and educational
supplies. My cellular device for example functions in a conspicuous manner; it
helps direct and organize my events in chronological order. My cosmetics are simply to help my
self-esteem. To even out my self-esteem issues, I journal. I basically just
meditate on certain aspects of my life and try to make it as positive as I can.
As I try to see the good in people, I try to see the good in myself as well. The
educational supplies are especially important since it is mandatory in order to
thrive in my academics. On the other hand, the intangible items are mainly all in
my mind. I carry my anxiety, faith, and a moral burden of debt. I also believe
in miracles. My anxiety and strict desire of orderliness and control are
something I’ve been working on to improve with my therapist. I have also been
carrying faith ever since my cousin was diagnosed with leukemia. It hurt so
much seeing him in pain all the time , but through faith and prayer, he survived.
I also carry the moral burden of debt since I owe all my accomplishments to my
parents and God. It is incredibly necessary to have these in mind as they are
the ones that will help me push through as I pursue my career.
Your post is really great! The intangible things that you carry are very meaningful to me. The burden of debt that you carry, I think, shouldn’t be carried, because God knows that the accomplishments you’ve made are enough to make him feel proud of you (:
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! I love how open you are talking about your anxiety and other personal problems, because it helps me realize that no one is perfect, I struggle with that a lot. I am also glad that you are keeping faith with your cousin! I can really relate because my grandpa was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, and with a lot of faith,healthy eating, family support, and praying, he is now 100% cancer free, so do not lose faith, things will get better!
