Faith in sharing
A number of things have helped me on my journey in faith. But the fear and doubts linked to my choices were very difficult and a handicap and I found something that helped me a lot: the youth groups at church.
At first, I didn’t find it convincing because I didn’t have the courage to go because of my shyness, but when I did, it was truly revolutionary. Being around young people who have been through something, even if it wasn’t the same as mine, helped me a lot because you feel less alone.
What’s more, these people are not judging and I quickly felt comfortable, even though I was an introvert person.
Of course, there are lots of ways of dealing with difficulties, and what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another.
What really matters is that you take the time to look for and discover what’s good for you, what helps you to move forward and rise again.
Everyone has their own rhythm, their own path, and there is no universal method. So don’t be discouraged if some things don’t work immediately: the most important thing is that you find your own solution.
When everything lights up
The best thing that happened to me during the second project was the meeting with the careers adviser.
It wasn’t the appointment in itself, but the fact that I was thinking about my future, having to face up to it once and for all, and understanding certain things about myself, like my values, my desires or simply who I am.
Thanks to this meeting, I found answers to the questions I’d been asking myself, and it really helped me to move forward in this complicated process of finding my future.
I think a lot of young people don’t know exactly what they want to do, and that can become a real obstacle. We often feel lost and sometimes misunderstood.
But I want to tell you one thing: you’ll find your way one day. Don’t let stress overwhelm you. Religious or not, know that after the storm, the good weather always returns.
