In the last few weeks, I have gone through a world wind of emotions. I have dealt with things I never thought I would have to deal with. On top of this, I have dealt with the stress of finals and trying to figure out what the heck to do with my summer. And, I can't even bring myself to think about what I'm going to do without my best friends for four months.
The truth is, I have been having an emotional breakdown for about a week now. It is not fun, trust me. But the reality is, I have four finals, so I don't have time to cry in my bed all week. Life doesn't stop for anything, and it's definitely not going to stop for me.
Don't get me wrong, I am dealing with my emotions, but I don't have any choice but to get back up. I am not going to let a single situation or a multitude of situations for that matter affect my life because I am so much stronger than that.
And, although the past week or so has sucked, I know there are so many beautiful weeks and so many beautiful moments in front of me.
The thing is, we have to feel pain in life. We have to feel pain to know right from wrong and we must feel pain to know what happiness feels like.
And, even if I don't get up today, I am going to get up tomorrow. Because I believe that everything happens for a reason and I believe that this life is beautiful.
There are still so many beautiful moments that I have not lived, experiences I have not experienced and people I have not met.
And maybe I just want today to be over, but there's really no point in wishing away the day because you truly have no idea how many days you have left. Maybe someday you're going to want this day back. And maybe today sucked for you, but maybe someone across the world is experiencing the best day of their life. So don't you want the day to last just a little longer for them? I know I do.
So, even if you're having a bad day, I encourage you to get out of bed, to keep fighting and to put a smile on your face. This life is beautiful.
