You wake up and something doesn't feel right. What do you do?
Everything is fine, but you feel a bit off. A little heavy and negative inside. It's okay. You've probably felt like this for some reason a few weeks ago. Maybe you'll feel like this again in two weeks. That's okay, too! It's inevitable, it's just emotions.
I felt like this just yesterday. I woke up and I felt "blah." I didn't want to leave the comfort of my bed. I had to acknowledge the way I was feeling, so I sat with myself for a moment. After that, I didn't want it to affect my day, so I decided to think a bit more positive.
While going about my day, I started to think about a few things that were stressful. I started to feel unsure of things in my life. My major in college was the main thing on my mind, but then something made me start thinking about my friends. That was really strange. I started wondering, Are these really my people? These thoughts scared me so much.
After a while, I had to talk it out, so I called one of my friends. Getting this out to a good friend was relieving and allowed me to calm down a little.
Yesterday was interesting, to say the least. Going in and out of different moods, going to classes, and running errands. Strangely enough, the day ended exactly how I needed it to. I had a talk with a close relative, and after that, I was able to hang out with my brother, cousin, and later, my roommates.
It's been a while since I'd spent time with my brother, and it was nice to be able to relax and catch up. At the end of my long day, I sat with my roommates while eating dinner and talking.
Yesterday, I was able to say I went to bed happy, from waking up indifferent. As you can see, talking is something I do often when I'm going through things. I find comfort in relatability. If I can say something to you and you know what it feels like, it's easier to communicate and get to the source of what's happening in my head.
Besides talking to people or myself, I have major jam sessions in my car. If music wasn't a thing, then I wouldn't be a person.
We all go through things and feel the same emotions. We can't be happy all the time, but it helps if you can identify what works best for you to stay calm and positive, for the most part.
