I know no one feels like they have their life together, but that's hard to keep in perspective when you REALLY don't feel like you have anything together.
You know exactly what I mean. You have that week that your entire life is falling apart. You can't carry everything you need to the car without dropping everything at least twice, your purse won't go in the passenger seat correctly like it does every day. You wanted to get breakfast before you headed to class or to work, but you are running so late that there's no way. On top of that, traffic is never-ending and you are hitting every red light possible. You're absolutely going to be late even though you left at the same time you always do. You roll in late, without your drink of choice, and hungry, and don't know what to do with yourself. You can't focus on anything the entire time you're there and can't wrap your head around anything you're needing to accomplish. Anything that you're trying to do is only going to be half-done and probably wrong. You might as well give up and go back to bed. What planet is in retrograde that you can blame this disaster of a day can you blame this on?
Sure everybody has these days, but this is your crappy day and it's hard to keep everything in perspective. Remember that when everything seems to be falling apart, that you're not the only one that feels that way. Look at any Millenial. We constantly feel like our lives are falling apart and we have no idea what to do next with our lives. We feel like we have to call our parents before we make any decisions, so we are sure that we don't do something stupid. This is what happens when they tell us in high school that we need to decide what we want to do with the rest of our lives.
We end up dropping our keys all over the place while we are trying to gather all the other parts of our lives, and it's just a mess. But as long as you keep in mind that you're going to be okay, that pretty much every person on the planet goes through these days every once in a while, and that this will pass like all of the other days have, you'll be okay, and you'll survive it.
Until tomorrow, pick up your keys, take your time getting to work, get the rest of your day back in order, and try to make the best of it until you can go back to bed and start over again tomorrow morning. Take a deep breath, pull yourself together, and remind yourself that you'll try to get your life together tomorrow. But best of luck with that. None of us have our lives together.
