The last few days have been
an exceptionally rough patch for Pa, and it’s so surreal that any of this is
happening to my family. Which is why I’m so relieved that Ma is finally back!
I’m realising now that
there will always be some level of uncertainty across all aspects of my life,
both professionally and personally. And initially, this concept seemed very
strange to me, especially since I try to always have a back-up plan. But I’m seeing
now that uncertainty isn’t something
I can account for in my future, it’s something I must embrace as a part of
surviving in the real world.
That being said, this idea
of not knowing what might come my way next still makes me feel anxious and
nervous. But what I do know for sure is that no matter how many times I fall, I
will always have a strong support system to pick me right back up. I can’t
express how grateful and secure I feel knowing that my family, friends and S
are always by my side.
Without a support system,
the uncertainty of life can get overwhelming very quickly. I’m still learning
how to face real life situations and their consequences head on, and I’ll admit
that I do need help from time to time – but does this make me weak, or
incapable? Definitely not! Because some fights are simply just too big to fight
alone, and there’s no shame in asking for support.
And that’s why in light of
everything that’s happening with Pa, I know I need to be there for him - as a
part of his support system. Sure, I’m
scared about what the outcome might be, but I know that together, the four of
us can face anything life throws our way.
So,
who is your support system?
That’s
it for this week, until next time!
