Coming from a girl who constantly feels like she’s living in a state of chaos, for no logical reason might I add, bad days are a part of life. They are something you have to embrace, because if you don’t they will engulf you.

Bad days can seem world-ending, life-altering and just plain lousy. Most of my bad days stem from being mentally weak. I’ve always been someone who worries about everything. So once I start going on in my mind about opportunities missed, different paths I could take or even just simply how fast time moves- I get upset.

I live in a constant state of “I don’t have enough time”, “It’s unfair I can only choose one path in life”, “What if I want to live there, instead”. My mental state 100% depends on whether I’m thinking about all the things in life I don’t and can’t have or control, or whether Im focused on what I have in my life already.

When you live in that constant state of worry, it can be scary having bad days. You never truly know how much you’ve kept bottled up or how hard you’ll actually snap.

But on those days, I have to remind myself that bad days mean you’re alive! Bad days mean that you have good days to look forward too. You MUST embrace the chaos that encompasses bad days! Without them, what would you have to look forward too?

I just have to journal, start my day with four things I’m grateful for and four things I’ll work on. That way every morning I’m reminded of what amazing blessings I have in my life, but also what I can continue to improve upon and grow into.

After all, there will be no flowers without the rain, right?
