When Maria Looked Inside

This has been on your mind for quite some time hasn’t it?

You’ve relished in getting "turnt" on the weekends, succumbed to unfulfilling distractions and friendships, and justified living paycheck to paycheck long enough.
Even though you know something isn’t right, you’ve still been convincing yourself that it will soon pass.

But it never quite has.

Overtime, you’ve distanced yourself from your usual environment and cleaned out any stale relationships, and begun spending more quality time with yourself.

In these moments, you soon discover the raw truth about yourself, which feels as though it’s been sitting right under your nose this entire time.

Waiting for you to pay attention

You’re scared of what might happen if you allow yourself to go there.
A sudden feeling of temptation arises, reminding you of how easy it is to turn around and stay where it’s convenient and comfortable.
A life far less demanding. The one you know all too well.

But what makes this time different?

This time is different because you’re on to the fact
that nothing really satisfies you back there. It’s all broken. And because of this, going back would be more painful than the unknown in front of you, regardless of what that may be.
