You need a break...

When you find yourself so overwhelmed about everything around you, stop and breathe for while.

It's ok to pause, and disappear for a moment in order for you to compose yourself again. You don't need to be hard on yourself because can't you see? the world is already being hard on you, why make yourself suffer more?Don't be so indifferent with your life.

 Free yourself from the chaos of the world, and seek for your peace, because you know sometimes peacefulness will not always come from other people, it always come within us. True happiness will not always come from other people because our own happiness will always depends on how happy we want us to be.

Everything will always be our choice. Everything will always depend on our decision. We cannot force something that doesn't works for us, so if you find yourself so overwhelmed by everything around you slow down, and temporarily distance yourself from others. When you find yourself ready to enter the battle again, you'll feel when is the right timing to get back, and make sure that when you get back you must be stronger and more focused. 

Sometimes all we need is to take a break from everything, in order for us to have time to reflect and re align ourselves on how to function well again. 

Me time, and self reflection is one important thing to do for ourselves, to find our peace, in order for us to feed our soul and to know ourselves more. 

Don't let anybody master the whole you more than yourself, because you'll be a weak warrior if you do. Remember, anything that they know about you can be used against you, if they know you more than yourself, then they can manipulate you to do something that you don't do, or mold you into something that that's not you. So better know yourself more than other people. 

As you grow older you'll realize that. Maybe when you caught yourself up in a moment where you feel so overwhelmed about everything, its because you've exposed yourself too much. You've exposed yourself too much from the problems. You've exposed yourself too much from the opinion of other people. You've exposed yourself too much from the cruelty of the society.

Don't  get carried away with the things that you spend most of your times with,  don't take everything personally, and learn how to segregate your emotions and your feelings. Learn how to be impeccable. 

It's protecting your peace above all. 

So if you currently caught yourself up in this kind of situation, you need a break.
