There are some days where everything feels like it is falling apart. I had one of those days recently. From the time I woke up that morning until I went to bed that night, there was a massive series of unfortunate events that happened, and towards the end, I couldn't handle it anymore. I broke down, which is a rare occurrence for me. No matter what I did, nothing seemed to be going right, and I had no power to stop any of it. Feeling helpless is one of the most dehumanizing feelings out there, because you're there, experiencing it all, and there is nothing you can do to change any of it.
I took on a lot in a very short amount of time, and for the longest time I was handling it, and handling it well. That was until I couldn't handle it anymore. My mind, my body, everything had just had enough, and all I wanted to do was be alone. I wanted to be alone so bad that I walked 45 minutes to my room, just because it was the only time I could have to myself.
That day, I felt as though the world was just too much, and on those days, sometimes the world is just that: too much. I shut everyone out for a while, and it helped. People had been asking me all day if I was okay, and I knew I wasn't, but burdening others isn't something I like to do, so I left.
Later, I realized just how many people cared about me at that moment. I got phone calls, text messages, hugs and even a flower that next day. Even though I had been worried about burdening others, I learned that they honestly cared, and they wanted to make me feel better, and they did. The next day was a lot better. It was a day filled with kind, caring people and that day meant a lot to me.
So on days where it feels like everything is going wrong, remember that no matter what, the next day is a completely new day. The sun will still rise, and life will move on, and the best thing you can do is move on with it. Life happens, and when it does, sometimes it just really sucks. Then there are those next days, the days after those bad days, and those are the days that will mean a whole lot more to you in the future than the bad days you had.
