On Sundays, I
usually go church in early afternoon and come back to home about time to have
dinner. Although I don't look like Christian on weekdays (that's why I
sometimes call myself 'Sunday Christian') I feel comfortable when I go to
church. Of course I like to attend service and sing in the church choir, but my
favorite time is after the service. After I attend service, I like to talk
about my daily life on weekdays with church members. I can say something about
my troubles and receive advises, or give advises to others. We talk about not
only troubles, but also about good things happened before and appreciate those.
Today, I told to church members my anxious mind, which was caused by
job seeking problem. Recently I’ve been feeling depressed because I became
comparing others and me and realize that I am not good at anything when I was compared
with others, especially in English. After I finished my word, everybody said
something, and I can remember one comment. “Calm down, it is because you became
3rd grade. It is natural that you have anxiety.” That didn’t help me
to solve my problem, but I could feel very comforted. Spending time like this,
I can get rid of depressing feeling and stress and know about other's daily
life and learn to handle hard situations.
What I want to say is that whether you have religion or not, having
friends or people who are close enough to you to talk about troublesome private
issues is very helping when you have to handle tough situations or stresses.
Plus, you can feel the feeling that you are cared by others by having times
like this.
