Sometimes, I have to have reminders for why I’m happy with where I am and what I’m doing.
I’m not unhappy with the decisions I’ve made in the past year and a half since I started college, but sometimes I struggle to get through the same thing from day to day — going to class, going to work, going home and sleeping for a couple hours after doing homework.
Even though I love my routines, they need breaking. I have to do something else and get outside of the imaginary box I keep myself in most of the time. At that point, I take myself out of my comfort zone and do something I want to do in the future.
This gets me out of my slump. I know for other people this might not work, but try doing what you plan on doing in the future. For me at least, the feeling of doing what you love is amazing.
Other people I know who do this also love what they’re doing. The looks on their faces when they do what they want to do is so awesome — it gives me hope for the future, for them and myself.
Then things are fine again. I go back to my normal days and live my life, remembering what it’s like to be on top of the world.
When you’re feeling down and think it might be because you’re not happy with life, do something that might change your perspectives and brighten your day.
