There are two schools of thought when you see this: grief and relief. I believe that both are important, and both need to be addressed.
Grief. Everyone, those moments that you feel infinite, the times where you laugh so much that you stomach hurts, the amazing times with beautiful people, the good ole days… they end. It sucks, but it’s true. However, knowing this, cherish these days, and know that nothing lasts forever. Life goes on, and you can’t be stuck in the past or you will miss out on your future. So love the people who treat you right, and TELL them. Recognize the good people in your life, and hold onto them dearly. If fate has it that they will not be in your future, hold onto the memories dearly, but don’t forget to make new memories. “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” Props to The Office for this quote. It holds so much significance. Understand that we often realize the good times too late, so take advantage of the good in your life. Go out and make your life what you want it to be. Be courageous, act on your feelings, dance in the rain, sing loudly, be spontaneous, take risks, fail, try again, go on adventures, love, LIVE. But just remember, nothing lasts forever, so cherish the good days when you are actually in them. Relief. On the opposite side of being sad that the good days in your life won’t last, remember that that is true for the bad times as well. If you are struggling with something and don’t ever see a way out of it, remember, this hardship will end. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, hell, it might not even be a year from now, but it will end. Believe that. And actively try to make your life the life you want it to be. Surround yourself with people who only bring you up, challenge you, and make you the best possible version of yourself. If you don’t like your situation, change it! If that isn’t an option, escape through reading, writing, or in the comfort of friends or family. Everyone has bad days as well as good. While you think no one could possibly ever experience what you are going through, and while you are right, because we all experience life differently, remember that there are people who have gone through hardships and can relate. They may not have been the same type of hardship, expressing how you are feeling to someone else is so much better than bottling it up. No one wants to be lonely, and the entire human race is trying desperately to find a person to share their feelings with and to not feel as lonely as they do. Make sure you don’t push that person out because of your bad days. Remember, these says will end. You have to be willing to accept the good in your life! Stay strong!
