Have you have had one of those days where you don’t know what is wrong, but you are certain that something is wrong? Do you ever feel down without a reason? This is how I felt for the past two weeks. The littlest things bring me down and my mood immediately drops and I don’t understand the cause.

Or perhaps you know what’s wrong but can’t fix it yourself.

Yesterday was one of those days.

When everything goes wrong and you feel alone.

When you think you are not good enough.

When your friends ask you how you’re doing, but in your eyes they don’t really care about the answer or don’t want to listen.

When no one is really there for you even though you are surrounded by a crowd of people.

When you only listen to "depressing" music because it is the only genre that speaks to your soul at that moment.

When you take comfort in staying home instead of going out partying with your friends like "a true college kid".

When you forget to answer your bestfriend’s text because using your phone would mean open yourself to the world and be part of it for a while and you can't stand to do that.

When you have such crippling anxiety that can’t raise your hand to answer the professor’s question and let someone else take the glory instead.

When the weather portrayed outside your window brings you down.

When you eat non stop without being hungry because life has been coming at you and you can’t take the stress anymore.

When someone close to you offers to help and you politely reject them with a smile affirming that you can make it yourself, but in actuality you cannot.

When you are not able to ask for help, because it has been forced into your head that that is what weak people do.

When you are aware that you need help, but convince yourself you don’t need it.

When the nuances are so thin for everyone else but are so distinct for you and can’t explain why your vision of the world is so different from the rest.

When the only thing you can do at the end of the day is cry. You cry because you feel too much or you feel nothing. The emptiness fills you in like a child would color in a drawing, slow at first and then an impetuous tide against rocks.

If you have ever felt like this, wait. Life has a funny way of sorting itself out.

Please, wait.

Just know you are not the only one. Even though maybe you are not going to ask for help now, you’ll do it eventually because you want to be better, to get better. Other people are struggling with the same thoughts. In the end, you will be fine.

Trust yourself.

It will be okay.

You will be happy.

You deserve to be happy.

I want to share with you the song that inspires me to be happier:

"Perfect Day" by Lou Reed
Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too
And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Remeber, you will be happy.

You deserve to be happy.
