A short story of a transition period of adulthood and its effects on positive thinking mentality.
Let me tell you why I thought to write about the transition period of adulthood; it just hit me now that I remember myself being very excited for the next day about the meetings, gatherings or sports events when I was an adolescent.
I was dreaming all and all about the magical, ‘‘next day’’ thing. It was about all planning and getting ready for whatever perfect was going to happen. Such as playing in the official basketball match, going to a cafe or the cinema with friends. So for me, the positive thinking mentality is very similar to what I have been doing back in those days. Basically, have a goal, get motivated and excited for the process that you are going to have through.
On the other side, sometimes I was having such amazing days that the fear of losing a family member was popping up in my mind. In those dark days, I was just praying to God and the funny thing is that when I was praying, I was afraid to swear to God unintentionally. So this can be related to a negative mentality. It’s like having the fear of hurting or losing someone even if you love the person a lot.
If I interpret my mind today, it would be the combination of both positive and negative mentality that I mentioned above. Because when you are an adult, as your responsibilities are rising, having the correct mindset becomes like walking on the very tiny rope. It means that you are very excited about your life goals but sometimes this excitement(fear) put you in a position as a person seeks refuge in God but at the same time afraid to do something terrible.
Make a long story short(!), there would be more days that you would feel like it is always cloudy out there especially in these depressive lockdown days but don’t forget that every cloud has a silver lining. As a result, the process is bumpy but I guess this is the name of being an adult in real life.
