I haven’t written a Hol Mi Close post in a while and
lately I’ve been caught up in stresses and in the inability to find something
exciting or interesting to say. Most of you should know I’m in my second year
in university and it has been a struggle. But this semester seemed to be the
most stressful of the two previous semesters. I mentioned some time or the
other that I made a change from psychology and I’m now pursuing teaching.
However, the transition was difficult and still is no matter how I try to
indulge myself in it. I found myself not performing has I used to or how I
should have been. I spent time mourning over my decision. I moved from
my old apartment and got another roommate. I thought we could never live
together, much less become close friends. Turned out we were quite the same in
numerous ways. I suppressed a lot of my problems and slowly they were causing
me breakdowns more than I could manage. I found myself becoming bulimic but it
wasn’t a continuous practice. It was those varying moments were I
felt that I could not hold up anymore. But it was on of those nights in the bathroom that I asked myself what does God think of what I'm doing. How can I try to be an inspiration or example to others when I find the unhealthy roots to becoming healthy?
