It’s Okay To Not Be Okay

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay
Molly Martinez

Lately, I've just been this weird mood. I don't really know what's going on but it's happening. My friends and I call it a "funk" because what else would we call it?

I understand that sometimes it's scary to realize that you might not be okay but trust me it's okay! You don't always have to be that perfect human person with the perfect life.

Sometimes you get stressed out and life gets the best of you. Now don't get me wrong, I have some pretty good days but lately, it's just been weird.

Let me elaborate on what I mean by "funk". It's basically you just not feeling yourself and being stressed out. Now I've been in a funk for the past couple of months and before you go on telling me to go and talk to someone about my "feelings" I have. Also, it's not that easy to tell someone what's on your mind.

Sometimes I don't even have the words for it. Just ask some of my close friends.

Being in a funk isn't bad at all!! It's perfectly okay to not be okay but I will tell you this.

Everyone has there good days and everyone has there bad days. I'm a firm believer on if you want to have a better day you just have to change your attitude and mindset. I've been doing that lately and it has been working out but it also isn't that easy. My friends especially have been constantly asking me if I'm okay and if I need anyone to talk to that they are there for me.

It's ALWAYS good to have such a great support system.

Now, if you may be in a "funk" right now then trust me I know what you're going through. Just let whatever or whoever is consuming your thoughts go away!

It's not worth your time to be stressing out over something that can change your whole mood. Now I know that's hard to do and trust me I'm still trying to do that but in the end, it'll be worth it because your mental health will be better.

*Sidenote: if you need someone to talk HMU!!!! I'm better at dealing with other people's problems than my own*

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
