I feel like the whole entire universe should be on suicide watch after watching the new Netflix original series, '13 Reasons Why'.
Not only did this show break me, but it had left me and my brother damaged.
I read the book a while back in high school so I didn't really remember how horrible of a book it was. And I'm not saying horrible as in it was bad, but I'm saying horrible as in all the drugs, alcohol, rape, suicide, and all the other shitty things affiliated inside the show.
This show made many people uncomfortable in their own body, but that was the point. These are real things going on around us in our world that we do not notice and we give them the shrug of a shoulder.
Even though it is sad and heartbreaking knowing Clay and Hannah will never ever be together, if you have not had a chance to watch this series or read the book, I really insist that you do.
But enough of the sad stuff. LETS BE HAPPY!!!
Here are 13 reasons why you should be happy and love life:
1. you are ALIVE
No matter how sick, tired, sad, or unhappy you are, there’s one thing you can still be grateful for and that’s the fact that you’re still here. People we love leave us unexpectedly on a regular basis.
2. Music
Every piece of it; dance, soul, rock, funk, reggae, disco, Indie, Bhangra, jazz, country, and anything you can imagine.
3. There are people in your life who love and depend on you
Yeah thats right, people love you. Even if you feel like they don't. They are all around you.
4. Sunrises and sunsets
Sunrises and sunsets have to be at the top of your list of why you should be happy. The world literally paints the sky in multiple different colors right before your eyes. How amazing is that?
5. The world needs more happy people
This world is full of many negative Nancy's and it wouldn't kill ya to be the positive one.
6. Happy people are healthier
Statistics show a direct correlation between happiness and healthiness.
7. Fridays
What gets more happier than a Friday? It is the best day of the week.
8. Everything can change in an instant
You never know when life is going to throw you a curveball so enjoy now; be happy in this moment.
9. Laughing, laughing, laughing
Laughter is the best medicine.
10. Beyoncé
You are living in the era of Yoncé, I don't think it can get much better than that.
11. Puppies
Puppies to cuddle and play with are such a great reason why you should be happy. Just look at them.
12. Coffee is a thing
Not only is coffee good, but it energizes you. What a blessing.
and number 13. Today could be the best day of your whole entire life
You could meet the person of your dreams, get a promotion, or find a $20 bill in an old purse. Go out and live, its worth a shot.
Be the happiness to someone else and you may be able to save them from a battle they are having with this world. You never know what someone is going through, just like everyone looking past Hannah Baker. Anyone could have saved her.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
