Most people get sore after running three miles, working out, carrying boxes, and doing other daily strenuous activities. But when you're a clumsy person, you're basically aching from everyday life. A day doesn't go by when you don't run into a table, trip up the stairs, slam the door on some part of your body, or find a new bruise. People assume that you have a sports related injury, but it's really just from falling over all the time.

1. Discovering new bruises everyday

Your legs are a museum of purple, blue, and gray bruises.

2. Not just bruises, but cuts and scratches too

3. And you're not the only one who gets injured, your phone gets beat up as well

4. You actually drop everything that's been placed into your hands

5. Anything flying or being thrown to you is basically your worst nightmare

6. Genuinely believing that furniture moves just so you can bang into it

But we all know that the side of the table hits you on purpose

7. Getting so excited over something that you end up the ground

8. Taking extra caution when walking on slippery, icy, wet, or unstable grounds

9. Tripping while walking up AND down the stairs at least once a day

10. People constantly think you're drunk because you stumble on flat land

11. Walking in heels is an absolute disaster

12. But at the end of the day, you know your clumsiness makes great stories

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
