Perception is a funny thing. We see everyone's life through rose tinted glasses. How is their life so perfect? full of adventure, love, and success.

Well mine isnt. Or at least that's where my thoughts are at.

I have everything right? A successful husband and soul mate of near 15 years, leading a life of adventure across the otherside of the world, A home, a car and a job I love but yet I have a son who knows nothing of my motherland that sadly 7 years on I still long for & an extended family he has never "truly" met.

My issue is I long for my old life, I long for going up town and heading to the local markets. I miss going to the big city for a shopping spree dash, I miss thinking can I really afford that? but getting it anyway.

but is that just an excuse as to why I feel so numb. would I feel this way if all those "normal" things were still normal. yes I probably would and I would just blame something else. (lack of money, adventure.....)

I think my point here is be kind always. Everyone is fighting their own battle. A battle of just getting out of bed every morning.

If you too are feeling down I just want you to know it's normal and while it doesn't feel like it. This too shall pass! x

My strategy to move forward is to get my head in a better space through gratefulness and recognizing each moment for what it is. For bashing my stress levels on the head with exercise. All ideas gratefully received!
