Life ain't that bad
I know. I should be depressed and sad by now, but recently I've realized a few things which kept me alive.First, there's a lot of stuff which is fun and worth living for, even if it's just that tiny amount of joy it sure makes up for all the sadness in my life. Second, there's plenty of people who have it worse than I do, I'm crying about being lonely and having a shitty life, but really? I don't think I deserve the right to cry about that. And last, well, I know that this will end someday soon. I don't know how long this'll last, but it won't last forever. Which I cannot say to all the other people who have worse lives. Who knows when their pain will end?
Anyhow, even if I'm often lonely, bored to the extreme, and feel like crying constantly, I'll get over it. Maybe the girl I had a crush on suddenly has a boyfriend, maybe the people I spend most time with are unavailable, and maybe I have nothing else to do than to waste all my time sitting in front of a screen, but guess what? It could be worse!
Imagine if I were like, really poor, like even more than I already am, and we'd have no internet. Boy, would I be screwed. Or if I'd live in some bullshit country, where there's no actual system like you know it. Like living in Vietnam or something. People there really have it hard.
I should stop complaining so much about my life and try to find happy parts in it.
That's a good mentality to have. Don't over-apply it, though. Whenever I was bitter over something raining on my parade, my parents made it a point to always say, "Well, at least you don't have cancer!"
ReplyDeleteThat always spited me, but they were right. I hated hearing it because it made me unjustified in being upset.
Have you considered taking up cooking?
There's not a whole lot laying around here, aside from chicken - which we bought a potato-sack of last time we went to the supermarket, but if you're truly bored, why not try cooking? You feel useful when you get good with it, and I don't think there's too many feelings better than the recognition you get when someone enjoys the meal you gave them.
Incidentally, cooking from scratch is also awful time consuming, so it keeps you busy.
Well, I am good at cooking, and sometimes I cook for me and my mother. However, there isn't much of a chance to cook for others, except for doing it as your job. And cooking as a job is a pain in the ass, the pay is awful and you don't even get to cook at the start.
