Not really. Life is wonderful. I can’t figure out why but for some reason we always find ways to place ourselves in suck-ish situations. Which make it seem that life, overall, sucks.
Life doesn’t suck. The furthest thing from it! So why is it so hard to see that? Why is it so hard to separate our ‘short-time-feeling’ from everything else? A year ago, I was convinced that life sucked. Two years ago, same story. 4 years ago life I wasn’t only convinced that life sucked, I was sure that God hated me. Today, with everything going on, life still doesn’t suck. Life gets harder. Why? Because we make it harder. Or for the simple reason that we live in a world that is all kinds of messed up! But even in this messed up world, we owe it to ourselves to focus on the good and the positive. I know it’s hard. And it’s not something you’ll be able to do when you can’t see 3 feet in front of you because of all those tears. But those are just clouds. As soon as they’re gone you can see the sun again. I’m the type of person who gets hurt deeply. I can cry for hours and continue an hour after I think my tears ran dry. I will still feel somewhat bad after a long period of time. I’ll pretend that I’m ok and pretend that it doesn’t bother me anymore because I don’t really know how to live with those emotions that make me want to stay in bed for weeks at a time. But I try to take a moment for myself and put my thoughts in order. Once my thoughts are organized, I try to breath. I pray to God about it non-stop. Because I know I can’t do it by myself. Without Him I will stay in bed until I get dragged out. Or I’ll stay at home, avoiding daylight and people that I might run into. So I pray, I ask for strength so I can at least make it to the shower. After that, things just happen. Sometimes, life really seems to suck. It seems like the thing that is keeping you down will keep you down for-e-ver. But it won’t. No matter how heavy that burden is or how difficult that situation is. It’s temporarily. As soon as you realize that and most importantly, believe that’s the truth, life won’t suck anymore. You’ll realize that it isn’t life, it’s the situation that sucks; the moment you’re living in, sucks. There’s a huge difference between ‘Life sucks’ and ‘the situation sucks’. One means that everything sucks and there is no and will not ever be an end. The other means that it’s just this part. This small part of your entire life that isn’t as good as the rest. A moment can take long, but no matter how long it takes for you to feel better, there will come an end. It will get better, eventually. All you can do from that moment on is be patient. Trying to stay positive in a suck-ish situation can help you find a better, happier place. What are your thoughts on this topic? Do you think that it’s just a suck-ish moment?
