It's Okay—Things Will Work Out

There was a time when I felt lost—like everything was falling apart. My academic journey didn’t start off smoothly, and for a long time, it felt like I was falling behind while everyone around me seemed to have it all together. I began my college experience at what I thought was my “dream school.” It was supposed to be the place where everything would fall into place, where I would thrive. But instead, I felt unhappy, disconnected, and unable to focus. And as that unhappiness seeped into every aspect of my life, it reflected in my grades, in my motivation, and in how I viewed myself.

I ended up switching schools, and it was one of the most bittersweet decisions I’ve ever made. I felt like I was starting over—like I had to rebuild from scratch. I couldn’t help but compare myself to others. Why was everyone else doing so much better than me? I felt as if there was no point in trying, I had already lost.

But somewhere in the chaos, I found something within myself. I realized that it wasn’t about trying to catch up with others—it was about becoming the best version of me. I began prioritizing my mental health, my academics, and my future. Slowly, I learned to embrace my journey, knowing that it’s not about how quickly I get there, but about moving forward at my own pace.

That’s why I created this blog—to share what I’ve learned, to remind myself and others that it's okay to struggle, and that we’re all capable of more than we think. I want this space to be a reminder that it’s okay to start over, it’s okay to take time for yourself, and it’s okay to prioritize your well-being. Your efforts are not going unnoticed, and sometimes the path that feels like a setback is actually part of the journey toward becoming the person you’re meant to be.

I’m here to share my story, provide support, and hopefully help others who feel the way I once did. Because no matter where you start, you’re capable of creating the life you want. And above all, things will work out in the end.
