Why A Bad Day Is Not The End Of The World

Regardless of the fact it may feel like it.

In life, no matter what or who you are, bad days are inevitable. Whether it was the fact that you got into a fight with your friends or something happened at school, bad days can make you feel as if your world is crumbling.

But to think that in life every single day you experience is going to be a good one is unimaginable, and in fact a bad day can be a reminder of what a good day actually feels like.

I feel as if we go through times in our lives that we feel that we are just continuously struck with bad luck. Whether this continues for a few days, few weeks or few months, it can feel as if it is a life time. While it may feel as if these bad days are the worst things that could happen to us, it can also serve as a time to take a step back and really ask ourselves if our lives are so “bad” after all.

In reality, most of the time the situations we consider to be bad for us are small events in our lives that are going to subside when life continues to change and move on. But usually we get caught up in the fact that we feel as if these events are bigger than what they are, and we tend to look past the fact that we still have positive aspects of our lives as a whole regardless of what is going on at this time.

The point in the matter is that a bad day(s) is a stitch in time, and it’s not going to last. As cheesy and over used as the quote “It’s a bad day, not a bad life” may seem, it’s unequivocally true. The hard times facing you now are not going to matter in the next weeks, months and years to come. It’s easier to say to just preserve through bad days rather than actually doing it, but keep in mind everything you should be lucky to have instead of focusing on the bad in your life.

A time in your life that doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to should not ruin the way you look at everything else. So what if you got one bad grade? Or so what if you got into an argument with your friend? It’s going to pass and life is going to move on, and you’re going to get through it. And those bad days that you experience will be a thing of the past compared to all of the days in your life that everything is actually going the way you want it to and you won't even remember the way you felt on the days you felt as if your life is upside down.

So instead of looking at the bad days you experience as completely negative, remind yourself that it’s just a time in your life that requires a little more preservation than usual. Keep your head up and enjoy the ride we call life, because there are many more better days ahead of you.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
