If You're Having A Bad Day

When it feels like you're world is crashing in.

If You're Having A Bad Day
Destiny Griffin

Sometimes, there are days where everything tends to get to us. We feel like we can't carry on anymore, feels like you don't belong, you feel you don't have a purpose. You feel unworthy. You feel like no one cares, I am here to remind you today, that someone cares, you are worthy, you have a purpose.

You have a purpose on this earth, and an assigned duty given to you by God, that only you can fulfill.

When you are feeling like you're nothing, just remember you are someone's everything.

When you feel no one cares, just hear me out, God loves you more than you'll ever know, he sent his son to die on the cross for all of our sins. That's unconditional love in itself.

Don't let it get to you, some days you seem to be doing fine, and others you struggle to go on about your day, you struggle to get out of bed. Hear me out today, that is perfectly okay.

Don't let that boy or girl get the best of you. Don't let yourself compare to "That pretty girl on Instagram". Truth be told she struggles with self confidence too, and she has her share of bad days.

Social media is used for nothing but to show off the best times of our lives, to make us seem a tad bit cooler than we really are. In today's age, that's all social media is for; it's used to make it seem we don't have those bad days.

It's hard to not compare, I get that, but don't let it get the best of you. You have to realize you are "Fearfully and wonderfully" made in God's image. No one can fill your spot on this earth.

God puts us all through our fair share of storm's for a purpose. He also gives us some of the best times, and the biggest blessings.

He is preparing you for the best yet, and those storms are there for a purpose, not because he hates you, but because he loves you.

Our hard times get told in our testimony, and that turns others into believers.

In case you need a reminder, you are important, You do matter. You do have a purpose.

Here's some quotes to help you through the bad, because there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. I promise!

"Often what feels like a terrible change, is really just a challenging pathway to a far better place." -Karen Salmansohn

"When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you." -Patrick Stump

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long." -Anon

"The past is your lesson. The present is your gift. The future is your motivation." -Notsalmon.com

"Whenever you feel like giving up, think of all the people who would love to see you fail." -Anon

"I praise you because I am Fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." -Psalm 139:14

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." -Proverbs 4:23

"To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the Heavens." -Ecclesiastes 3:1

"Saved people serve people, and served people save people." -Cokesbury ministry team


Take a deep breath, say a little prayer, and lay it in God's hands.

I end this by saying,

You do matter,

You are loved,

Stay strong, it gets better.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
