Enjoy the rollercoaster of life; when it goes down, you do this

Most of us have taken some time off over the summer. Even though I was not writing here as much, I was still reading articles. Except I was reading and not commenting, highlighting, or clapping.

I took my time off and did the things that I enjoyed. One of them includes reading a lot. I feel that it is how I realized that I wanted to start writing.

I do not write here to talk about writing or tell you how to live your life; I like to talk about my experiences in my own life and how they have affected me as a person and how I noticed it affects those around me.

While reading, I tried to stick to articles that bring me joy, lift me, and either inspire or offer me advice in a way I would never have thought. However, while I was searching, I noticed a pattern show up.

A lot of writers seem discouraged lately. I am not sure if it is just this particular platform, it could be the state of the world right now, or that it is summer and there are fewer readers. It happens; life happens.

I can tell you that whatever is happening is usually not only happening to you; surprise, the world does not revolve around only one…
