It’s Okay To Not Be Okay

What the F U N K?!?!

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay
Molly Martinez

Lately, I've just been this weird mood. I don't really know what's going on but it's happening. My friends and I call it a "funk" because what else would we call it?

I understand that sometimes it's scary to realize that you might not be okay but trust me it's okay! You don't always have to be that perfect human person with the perfect life.

Sometimes you get stressed out and life gets the best of you. Now don't get me wrong, I have some pretty good days but lately, it's just been weird.

Let me elaborate on what I mean by "funk". It's basically you just not feeling yourself and being stressed out. Now I've been in a funk for the past couple of months and before you go on telling me to go and talk to someone about my "feelings" I have. Also, it's not that easy to tell someone what's on your mind.

Sometimes I don't even have the words for it. Just ask some of my close friends.

Being in a funk isn't bad at all!! It's perfectly okay to not be okay but I will tell you this.

Everyone has there good days and everyone has there bad days. I'm a firm believer on if you want to have a better day you just have to change your attitude and mindset. I've been doing that lately and it has been working out but it also isn't that easy. My friends especially have been constantly asking me if I'm okay and if I need anyone to talk to that they are there for me.

It's ALWAYS good to have such a great support system.

Now, if you may be in a "funk" right now then trust me I know what you're going through. Just let whatever or whoever is consuming your thoughts go away!

It's not worth your time to be stressing out over something that can change your whole mood. Now I know that's hard to do and trust me I'm still trying to do that but in the end, it'll be worth it because your mental health will be better.

*Sidenote: if you need someone to talk HMU!!!! I'm better at dealing with other people's problems than my own*

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
