“…Its hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst. Then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain, and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.” ~ Lester Burnham; American Beauty.

So we have all had our share of bad days, bad experiences and some of us have had just plain, crap lives. But there’s always that one day when you wake up and realize you are not the only person with problems. Yeah so, maybe some people’s problems are way worse than others. But to each his own. To a specific person their problems are the worst. Life is always going to throw things at you. We just have to learn to jump the hurdle and move on. And some of us have to run the marathon constantly jumping hurdles.

I’ve woken up on countless occasions thinking, I just cannot go on. Life sucks, and it may never get better. But instead of holding a razor to my wrists I sucked it up plastered a smile to my face (however fake it may have been) and waded through the day however “sucky” it may have been. From experience I know that people really don’t care how horrible your day was, or how bad you life is. Because to them their problems are just as bad or even worse. So if you wake up one day and you feel like you just can’t get out of bed, remember you are not the only one.
