Ponder this.



"Is today a bad day or just a less happy day?" --My baby brother.

Good question huh? Sometimes we might feel less happy and misunderstand that to mean that we're not having a good day. Every day is going to be different. We can live off of our happy high days all day every day, forever and ever. But that doesn't mean it’s a bad day. It just means it’s another day. 

Bad DAYS are actually pretty rare, and bad LIVES are even more rare. I see them more as bad moments. We may have a bad moment or a few bad moments in a day, but does that mean the entire day is bad? No. Look for any and all positives in that day. Trust me, there's always something, no matter how "small" it may seem. 

Of course, there are cases when people really do have bad days for several days, and I'm not pointing towards them. I'm not saying what you're feeling isn't real. Your case could be different than mine. If you're really in a bad spot, I'm not here to rub it in your face or make you feel worse. I can recognize that badness exists out there. I'm sorry if what I say makes you feel isolated, don't. You're not alone. We never are even when we think we are. I've been there. 

But for me, at least, I'm trying to stop overreacting to bad things that happen. I'm trying to change my perspective. Even if it takes the advice of an 11 year old.

The day is not ruined. You can still turn it around.

Diary of a whatever I am

Is it possible that maybe we’re supposed to accept our flaws even if they seem so grand? Are they really so? We were born with a set of resources and skills, yes we can gain these and practice, learn and grow, but I mean we all have some subjectivity. Some limitations from inside of us. Or maybe that is just me. There’s a tool box of skills for us to use out there, I mean for specifically coping. But in the end, we learn much of it at a young age from our experiences with our parents and guardians (for some, it’s the lack thereof). And those teachings can carry on with us for the rest of our lives. Unless we try to break out of them, and even then, it’s a long road to break the decade’s worth of habits. It’s not miraculously done overnight. It takes persistence, stamina, and continuous fighting. One of my greatest flaws is my mood swings. One day I’ll wake up and it’s the greatest day ever, and I’m happy as can be, and this carries on for me throughout any troubles I have t...

Finding strength within you

Friends and family are wonderful and I'm so grateful for having each and every person I love and who love me in my life. They are there to support you and help you, and be there for you. But even then there are moments and times or days and weeks where you may feel alone. It could be depression or bipolar disorder or something you ate or watched or who cares. Who cares? It doesn't matter what it is, because in that moment of sheer dark and emptiness and you're wondering why nobody you love is there for you- all that matters in that moment is knowing that someone IS there for you, and that someone is yourself. I just had possibly the most traumatizing dream ever. I'm not even so sure why I reacted the way I did from this dream, because I'm sure I've had worse and seen worse in movies. At first I was fixated on waking up a friend because I just needed some support but that didn't go too well (extreme sleep deprivation makes it really hard to wake up someo...
