The Strengths we Never Knew We Had

I sincerely feel like people don't talk enough about how much strength it takes for anyone to get up and go to work every day while they may be going through some stuff privately.

I mean, back when I used to gamble a lot, I remember how heartbroken I would feel on some days whenever I used my last money to play a game and I ended up losing it, and I remember how all I wanted to just do was sleep and possibly try to forget about the money entirely.

But unfortunately it doesn't work that way, and most times most of my day ends up getting ruined to the point where I couldn't even make a blog on those days due to how messed up my mood is and how I just can't think straight.

The same thing also happened to me when I got heartbroken, but unfortunately for me, I couldn't skip my blog that day because I had been writing every day for that year and was trying to get the badge. That was probably the day I realized how difficult it is trying to force your brain to do something while your entire body is demotivated or just down.

To my credit, I did end up making the blog, but it was one of the most difficult blogs I had ever written on here because the words weren't flowing, and I had to pause like every five minutes just to get a sentence out of my head. And this wasn't even something that serious, just a little misunderstanding back then that led to a temporary breakup.

Now imagine people going through divorces or some heartbreaking real-life problems and having to wake up every morning to go to work. Some of them probably have to put on a smile on their faces, depending on where they work.

Doing something like that requires a sort of supernatural strength, one that I honestly don't think we appreciate enough.
