Waking up on the wrong side of the bed isn’t the right term for this feeling. You wake up with your head heavy and foggy. No matter how much you want to go back to sleep, it’s already too late and you’re already in too deep within this feeling. You feel yourself crumbling piece by piece so you try not to move too much because when you move too much you never know how you’ll break. As much as you want to talk about how you’re doing, words cannot describe how you feel. You want to ask for help but part of you doesn’t even know what’s wrong.

On days like this you try your hardest to be positive, but if there’s no way for that to happen don’t push yourself. Let that feeling wash over you but don’t let it dominate you. Make yourself feel but don’t give it control. Test out the water but don’t let it drown you. Days like this makes you human. You live by each day through seconds and minutes, not feelings or moments. How you feel right now should be your focus, what people think about you should be out of your depth and how the world treats you should be a lesson.

Take a day off, drop what you can and don’t bring yourself down. Don’t you dare let this feeling bring you down, the moment it brings you down they’ve won. Don’t apologize for what you have to do to make yourself feel better. Focus on yourself and let yourself feel. Don’t be discouraged. It’ll all be okay.
