I have never felt that I have accomplished anything so far until I met my roommate. I and Destiny haven't always been close friends. Our values were so different.She was this no nonsense type of girl who always stated facts and she would tell you immediately if you did anything wrong to her. I on the other hand was a people pleaser, I feel bad if I tell someone no and was so timid. I tried so bad to change but it was hard. I feel bad after saying no to someone and end up doing the thing he/she asked for.But this was not every time situation. I and Destiny gradually became close a little when something happened in the room and she said she liked the way I reacted that day by standing up for my self instead of being all quiet and timid. I smiled and told her thanks and I was very proud of myself for at least taking a little step of changing. Going on I started having low self esteem. I really don't know where that came from but it just crept in. I started looking at my mates for what they've achieved so far while I'm still stuck where I am. It was jealousy at first then envy. I felt oh this was a normal thing and that it will go away and that it was the age But no it didn't it still lingered in my heart gradually turning into bitterness. I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to change so badly I didn't want to feel envious of my mates and things they have achieved so far so I relayed what I was going through to my roommate Destiny and what she said changed my mindset.She said “You are only 21 and it's okay to feel jealous and envious at some point but that doesn't mean your own life won't be better" And she also added that it doesn't mean I should sit and wait for the day my life would change on its own but that I should take that step of learning something, learning a skill, keeping my mind busy and lastly to let God take charge of everything. I agreed and though it wasn't easy at first I took the first step which was praying to God and he led me through.I also registered for a graphic design class and it truly helped me overcome the envy and jealousy that I felt and I felt so good that I have achieved something so far in my life and the feeling was peaceful.
