Been pretty much gone from Telegram and X for the last few months.
Not because I stopped caring. Not because I gave up.
I was just trying to survive.
It’s hard watching people around you make life-changing money and celebrate wins while you’re dealing with problems nobody sees. Sitting with nothing while handling Family expenses, financial pressure, expectations, responsibilities — all piling up at once.
Every day I told myself tomorrow would be better. Every day I tried again.
Some days I didn’t have the energy to reply to messages, answer calls, or explain what was going on. So I disappeared. Friends thought I was avoiding them. Family thought I was making excuses. Some probably thought I wasn’t strong enough to face my problems.
The reality is I was fighting them every day.
I kept everything bottled up, smiled when I had to, and pretended things were okay when they weren’t.
Maybe this tweet won’t reach many people cuz ik my reach is dead, But I’m writing this more for myself than anyone else.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying your hardest and still falling behind, watching everyone else move forward while you’re stuck fighting battles nobody can see, I understand.
I’m still here.
Still trying.
Still carrying more than I should.
And still refusing to quit.
Insha Allah we win soon
Mental health is important. I’m still learning that the hard way.
If you’re going through something similar, I hope things get lighter for both of us soon.
