There was a time when I thought I had lost everything—my motivation, my self-worth, and any sense of direction. If you had met me then, you’d see someone who looked fine on the outside, but inside? I was completely broken.
It started with a series of things going wrong, one after another. A personal loss. A failed dream. A project I poured my heart into that didn’t work out. Friends I thought would stay forever, drifting away when I needed them most. I kept telling myself I was fine. I wasn't.
I didn’t want to wake up in the mornings. Even small things felt heavy. I was constantly overthinking — "What am I doing with my life?" "Why is nothing working out for me?" "Am I even good enough?"
That was my rock bottom.
But one day — not some magical, dramatic day — just a regular, quiet morning, I decided I was tired of feeling this way. Not because everything got better overnight, but because I knew I couldn't keep living like that.
So I made one small promise to myself: Do one thing today to feel better. Just one.
That first day, it was taking a walk. The next day, journaling for five minutes. Then came daily affirmations, cutting off negative influences, building a new routine. I unfollowed people who made me feel ‘less than,’ started reading again, picked up new habits, and talked to someone I trusted.
And slowly — step by step — I started rebuilding.
I wasn’t aiming to become some overnight success. I just wanted to feel okay. And with time, I started feeling good. Then I started feeling proud.
That’s when I realized: rock bottom isn't the end. It’s the solid ground where you build your strongest foundation.
Today, when I look back at that version of me — lost, hurting, hopeless — I feel nothing but love. Because that version didn’t give up. That version held on long enough to become this version: stronger, wiser, softer, clearer.
If you’re in your own rock bottom right now, I just want you to know: this isn’t where your story ends. It’s where your comeback begins.
All it takes is one small promise to yourself.
You’ve got this.
