Life can be a real drag at time. So many interactions, activities happening in a day, it can be easy to let them get to your head.

As a student, athlete or just a human being in general, my life is pretty complicated right now. I've been letting a lot of little things mess with my overall happiness. As I lay curled up in a ball in my bed yesterday after I got home from practice (something I've been doing a lot of lately), I wondered why I was feeling so down.

Did something really bad happen today? No, I had spent my day with my amazing friends, my family life was fine, andI hadn't gotten any horrible grades lately.

I thought through my whole day, and then it started coming back to me. All day I had been over thinking every single interaction or event that hadn't gone completely perfect. I was letting myself droop into this mopey state because of things that didn't matter, things that truly didn't mean anything.

I had been spending the past six weeks wound up like a jack in the box, and it was time to try and let it go.

This morning, I woke up, and to begin my day of not caring, I threw on some sweats, and didn't think about how I looked once the entire day. Every single thing that I may have overreacted over, I brushed off.

Everyone's human, including me, and I needed to keep that in mind to be rational. Of course I still reacted to less than ideal situations, but I reminded myself to be rational, and nothing grew out of proportion.

Today was the best day I've had this week, and I owe it all to letting the little things bother me and being positive about what I do have.
