July is leaving

Hello steemit family

July Is Leaving

The month of July has been a rollercoaster but just as normalcy time flies the month just came and it's leaving quick I love it's speed It feels like just yesterday we were saying "Happy New Month" to July, full of hopes and plans. And now, in the blink of an eye, it's already packing its bags. July is leaving, and I can’t help but look back at all the things this month came with the good, the bad, and the quietly in-between I would say i have lost people in the month of july but that alone opened my eyes wider to life it always goes on

July came with its own weight. It wasn’t just another month in the calendar. For some, it brought new beginnings. For others, it came with closed doors. But whatever it brought, one thing is sure: it didn’t stay forever. Like every other month, it had its time, and now it’s giving way to August. That alone reminds me that nothing is permanent. Not the joy, not the pain, not even the people we hold close. Everything moves on, just like July is doing just last year July was the best month I had but I can't say for this year yet it wasn't that cruel to me it just gave Me chance to change life

Personally, this month felt like a mixed plate of meal sweet and heavy at the same time. There were days I laughed like a child I allowed my self to breathe and there were nights I laid in bed thinking about life and how uncertain everything is. Sometimes it feels like we are all just trying to survive in our little corners, hoping that something good will come out of our efforts. But then again, isn’t that what life really is? Cruel to others and pleasant to some

One of the things I’ve learned this month is the value of quiet reflection. July made me pause. I found myself thinking more, worrying less, and just taking things one day at a time. I didn’t accomplish everything I planned at the beginning of the month, but I’m learning not to beat myself up about it. I’m learning that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and that’s okay the most heartbreaking thing I noticed about July is the death of young people every morning obituary posters are seen on the streets social media handles everyone crying here and there July made away with people with unfinished dreams

There’s this pressure we put on ourselves to have it all figured out. To hit all the goals, meet all the deadlines, be all things to all people. But July reminded me that we are human beings, not machines. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to change your mind. I found peace in knowing that I don’t have to compete with anyone. My journey is mine, and I’m allowed to walk it at my own pace I choose peace over chaos I let people assume things I let myself know I am worth every good thing I worried less

I saw a quote earlier this month that said, "Growth looks different on everyone." That hit me differently. Because sometimes I look at other people and start to question my own progress. I see their wins, their celebrations, their public highlights, and I forget that everyone is fighting battles we can't see. July taught me not to compare my chapter 2 to someone else’s chapter 10. We are all running different races, and it’s not by who gets there first, but who finishes well and I love the peace it gave me

This month also reminded me how important people are. The ones who stay, the ones who check up on you, the ones who listen without judging. July showed me who my real friends are the people who didn’t only call when they needed something but called just to ask how I was really doing. I won’t lie, some people I expected to show up didn’t. But I’ve learned to stop holding grudges over things like that. People are going through stuff. Just because they don’t say it out loud doesn’t mean they’re not struggling too.
I let people be I work towards my reality and stopped wishing

Weather-wise, July was confused in its own way. The first day of July came with a heavy down pour like the heavens were weeping. But after some weeks we saw a little bit of sunrise But even that felt symbolic. Life is like that too sunshine today, storm tomorrow. But both are necessary. The rain makes the plants grow, and the sun helps them blossom. Just like the joy and pain in our lives. Both shape us. July was great

If I’m being honest, there were goals I didn’t meet this month. I didn’t read as many books as I planned. I still haven’t started that course I told myself I would. I still battle procrastination. But I’m choosing to focus on the things I did do. I showed up when it mattered. I was there for the people who needed me. I smiled even when things were rough. And most importantly, I didn’t give up on myself.

July leaving doesn’t mean I failed. It just means I have another chance in August. Another chance to be better, to dream more, to try again. Life is made up of months like July imperfect, messy, but full of lessons. If we keep waiting for the perfect month where everything aligns, we might wait forever. Instead, we can make the best of each month as it comes, with all its chaos and calm.

As July walks out of the door, I won’t wave it off in regret. I’ll thank it for what it taught me. I’ll thank it for the little victories, for the quiet moments of strength, for the new friends I made, for the old friends that stayed. I’ll thank it for reminding me that I’m still here, still standing, still trying.

So, here’s to July the month that came and went like a breeze. The month that didn’t go as planned, but still left something behind. I don’t know what August holds, but I’m walking into it with hope. Not blind hope, but the kind that comes from experience. The kind that says, “If I made it through July, I can make it through anything.”

That is my July it carries lesson hope and courage and I am saying goodbye with a grateful heart I am still leaving
