This has been a rough week. I hit rock bottom, and only now am I finally starting to pick up the broken pieces. But during the course of this rocky week, I had to think often of happy things, and how to best deal with my problems. These anime GIFs are the way that happened:
1. Nichijou -- Getting Away
This one was basically me trying to run away from life. Assignments, annoying meetings, I just wanted to GET AWAY from all of them. But that was not meant to be; I couldn't simply run away, because that solved nothing. But I certainly can identify with Mio here.
2. Penguindrum -- FOOD IS COMING
I ran out of meal blocks and declining dollars this week. So I went to the store and bought a lot of... rice. And a lot of pre-made pasta. So this one was me looking forward to all the free food at Weekend events (PIZZA IS LIFE). Maybe if I've got food I can at least be grateful for that. I needed to take care of myself, and a little indulgence and Hedonism every once in a while isn't so bad!
3. Nichijou -- God is Dead
It's too easy at these times to feel abandoned. And to think, like Yukko here, that "God is dead" and that everything is awful and I'm dying. In ignoring too many people, or the good things that actually happened this week, I think I forgot that it was a good week overall.
4. Himouto Umaru-Chan -- Life is Fun, Friends Are Fun
I hit the point this week though, where I realized everything was okay. Life was fun. My professors are good to me. My friends are good to me. I am good to myself. My family loves me. I feel at home where I am and I have made it a new home away from home. So how and why would I focus on what got me down when I have cute things like this to think about?
5. (Not Sure Which One This Is) -- It's Not a Bad Life
I was told by a close friend this week that "It's Not a Bad Life, Just a Bad Day." That really stuck with me. I had a really awful week. I hit rock bottom, but that doesn't mean it's been a bad life. I'm still really glad to be alive -- to be able to take all this crap this week. I will move forward. I will smile, and things will be fine. There's always a tomorrow.
