Sometimes I wonder "When did life get so hard?" or "Why do things have to be this way?" and the simple reason is the fact that it's life. It has it's ups and downs. Life can be demonstrated with a line, as my friend Brie and I always say.
This is life:
-------___--------________------------------------__----
You see? If you don't, well you're probably an idiot.
There are the things about life that make us extremely happy. The things we live for. Having fun, cuddling with that one person who makes you the happiest, going to a party with your friends, waking up totally refreshed after a good night of sleep, going on a vacation, taking a long warm shower, going to a concert to see your favorite band, being in an amazing relationship. The good things that make us happy. But then, you have the downs. You have to get through the downs to get back to the ups. Things can't be perfect all the time. As much as we want things to always go our own way, it doesn't happen. Life is tough. You have a broken heart, you cry, you have a bad break up, you feel lonely, you get lost, you fall, you lose friends, you get put up against something you're scared of, you get HURT. Some people might call me pessimistic for saying that. But as pessimistic as I am, that's not being pessimistic. That's being honest.
And as many times as you fall, you have to be willing to get back up, brush yourself off, and keep going. If you don't, then what will happen? You'll live the rest of your life dreading waking up in the morning. You'll get a new relationship, you'll conquer a fear, you'll make new friends, your bruises heal. Then, things won't be so bad.
But of course, we all have to break down sometimes. Sometimes you cry yourself to sleep. But then the next morning, even if you feel awful, get up, take a hot shower, then go out. Do something. Take your mind off things. You need to try to MAKE things better for yourself.
So, when you're in a bad mood. Feel bad for half a day. Cry your eyes out. Sit alone. Take time. Then, get up, put a smile on, and go.
