Hello! this is my first time doing this so sorry if I make any mistakes. I'm doing the essay prompt and need different perspectives and advice :) be honest please and thank you
Hitting rock bottom brings a strange sense of comfort, as the only way to go up is to rebuild. Following my parents' separation, arguments with my mother, grappling with my sexuality and escaping a toxic relationship overwhelmed me all at once. I began failing my classes and isolating myself. One night, when searching for something on Netflix, I stumbled upon "Everything, Everywhere, All at once." Reflecting on my own situation, a scene between a mother and daughter arguing struck me, where the daughter lamented over their shared pain.
I thought about my mom, who once would smile no matter the hardship, but now was consumed by her thoughts and exhaustion. That one night, when she cried to me, saying she would seek therapy. I thought about my sister, who suffered anxiety attacks. Amidst these thoughts, a realization dawned; how can I be human if I don't wish to change? I am living my first life just like everyone else. Taking a deep breath, I started anew because this is my first life, and I intend to live it to the fullest. I've learned that life doesn't get easier, but we become stronger and are able to face challenges easier; "Restart"
