Lately, I've found that I have to keep reminding myself to stop taking life so seriously.

I'm young and alive, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. My daily struggles are so minuscule in comparison to the bigger picture. Things aren't really as serious as we make them out to be. In the moment, we tend to make things seem bigger then they really are-- only complicating the process.

That's just how we all work though. We get in our own heads. And that's something we all have to work on-- me especially. However, I've realized that I need to take a step back and grasp the idea that things aren't that big of a deal. I shouldn't take every little thing to heart. I'm living a blessed life where I'm lucky to be getting an education and to be filled with such love and happiness from my family and friends around me.

I find myself constantly worried about the future and where I'll be going after college. I worry whether or not I'm going to find a career in my field, or if I'll enjoy going to work every day. But I have to realize that everything happens for a reason and things will fall into place for me just like they do for everyone else. I am doing all I can right now to ensure that I walk away from this university with experiences that will help my future one day, and that's all I really can do. I cannot worry about the future because it is out of my control.

Live in the now. Don't take life so seriously. Enjoy the good vibes surrounding you. I promise you'll feel better once you start to gain this point of view.

Positive thoughts equal positive energy.
