Am I The Only One Who Struggles With These Things?
No. Yet it sure as hell feels that way. But why?
I’ve lived a really interesting life thus far. Met amazing people, done amazing things, and have had incredible experiences good, bad, neither, and head-scratching.
Yet there have also been multiple struggles like an undercurrent beneath the surface. Some physical, but most mental, emotional, and spiritual.
Because these struggles exist wholly beneath the surface, that means they are mine, and mine alone. That’s because nobody but me is in my head, heart, or inner being (soul).
The nature of these struggles can be deeply unsettling. Questions great and small, concerns legitimate and fueled by a need for acceptance, recognition, and other outside validations, and everything in-between.
Hence the question — am I the only one who struggles with these things?
No, of course not. But to get a more complete answer/explanation, however, requires recognition and acknowledgment.
What the hell are “these things”?
Some of the things of this nature that I struggle with are tangibles.
The biggest is my health.
