When you are truly lost in hard work, everything around you slowly starts to fall apart.
You survive on late nights and cold coffee.
Sleep becomes a stranger.
Silence becomes your only companion.
You miss events.
You stop explaining yourself.
And people start to talk.
They say you’ve changed.
They say you’re obsessed.
What they don’t see
is the storm happening inside you
the overthinking, the self-doubt, the fear ,
the pressure, the financial stress,
the comparison, the exhaustion,
the silent war no one claps for,
no one understands,
and no one stands beside you for.
This phase, this chaos,
is the threshold between struggle and success.
It is the most dangerous, most painful, most lonely stage.
The stage where motivation dies but discipline survives.
Where your mind begs you to quit
but your soul refuses to give up.
No applause.
No cheering.
No validation.
Nothing but you
your vision
and the decision to keep believing
even when the world calls you unrealistic.
You are not lazy.
You are not lost.
You are not weak.
You are tired.
You are scared.
You are breaking…
and still choosing to continue.
You are becoming.
And becoming is messy.
Becoming is painful.
Becoming is lonely.
Becoming is uncomfortable.
But it is also powerful.
It is also sacred.
It is also necessary.
It is the kind of discomfort that shapes you,
sharpens you,
and prepares you for everything you prayed for.
So if everything feels like it’s breaking around you right now,
remember this
Things fall apart
right before
they rise stronger.
Stay patient.
Stay grounded.
Stay committed.
And above all…
believe in yourself,
even on the days you feel hardest to love.
Your rise is coming. ❤️
