In The Mist Of A Mess I Found Love.
Submitted by: HH
Malaysia, KedahA dreamer craving for a better life.
I’ve been reading love and successful stories on this page for the past two years and I always wondered when would it be my turn.
After graduation, I experienced the worst period of my life. I came back home to live with my parents and experienced a new wave of stress. From living here, I’ve realised that my parents are the most controlling and manipulative people I’ve ever met. They run a business which is related to the food and beverage industry and I was forced to help them. They used religion and them being parents as a way to coerce me. So it became a duty to help their business and their mountain of debts. And to top that off, my brother and his wife brought their maritial problems to us too.
It was chaos. I gained 10kg within two months of living there due to stress. My love life was nonexistant and one guy basically persuded me to go out with him, to only break my heart in the end. I was holding on to him because that was the only thing good thing that was happening in my life. Sure I had my cats, but then my mom gave them away. So my source of happiness was no where to be found. The only thing I could do was pray and watch Korean shows to keep me afloat.
Things slowly downsized a bit in a year and I followed through. A new decade came in and COVID was on the rise. And all of a sudden, everything was at a halt as the citizens of the world were caged in their homes and businesses shut down. We all had to be quarantined and everyone lived in fear. It was madness, but something beautiful came from that process. For the the first time in forever, I had a good nights sleep, I had and ate abundantly, and I lost weight due to the calm. The fresh air was uplifitng me in so many ways. I was surrounded by the most basic things in life, and I was truly happy. In the mist of this mess, love was in the air and I found a way to get back to myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
