Grief Is Not Always Loud

Sometimes its a whisper

Grief Is Not Always Loud
Ifunny

Grief is not always loud. It is not always a roar, sometimes it is a whisper.

Grief isn't always the screaming and crying and blaming the world or even oneself. Sometimes grief is sitting alone at a gathering, cause you wish someone else was there. Sometimes grief is silence. Sometimes it is sitting alone in your bedroom, not being able to cry. Sometimes grief is looking out of the window for days on end, because you can't get yourself to go do things without who/whatever you're missing. Sometimes it is needing to sit with someone else, without talking, because there is nothing to discuss. Sometimes it is just not having anything to say. Sometimes grief is is not seen, nor heard. Sometimes you would never know.

Sometimes grief is crippling. It keeps you from functioning early. It is the wave that somehow always seems to be over your head. But other times, grief is more quiet. It will always be there, but sometimes it is a smaller wave, one around your ankles. You can feel it, but it isn't keeping you from moving, or breathing. Sometimes grief is simply missing someone. Sometimes grief is a dream.

Sometimes grief is loud, it is in your face, but other times it isn't. No matter how it is shown, it is always real.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
