Life is hard at times

Life

As if life isn’t hard enough on some people others just have to make it worse. They don’t know when not to talk to you, they don’t take the hint of you not responding to them as much as before.

Sometimes some people don’t understand that you cannot sit around and listen to their life problems because you are having your life problems, even though you want to be there for them, you know that you cannot be there for them as much as you want so you start removing yourself from their life, just to make sure they have room to put someone else there that can help them more in their life.

I know that we all want that one friend that will stick by us even when they are having their own problems, and we don’t want to lose them, but sometimes taking that time apart to deal with our own problems is what we have to do in life. Sometimes that friend will still be there when we get back from dealing with our own problems and sometimes, they won’t. Sometimes they are still dealing with their own problems when we have dealt with ours.

Some friends are meant to be here forever with us, and some friends are only meant to stick with us for a short period of time. Not everyone is meant to stay in your life, so don’t try to force them to stick around. They will only drag you down in life, and make you feel miserable, and they will make it where you cannot get where you want to be in life without them making you feel terrible.

Even when you lose one friend you will meet someone new in your life, they might be there for good, or maybe they are just there for a mile down the road, but either way you will always meet someone new. Don’t sit around and be sad because someone walked out of your life, hang tight and someone new will walk into your life.

Life may suck now, but here soon you will be doing great, and you will be where you want to be in life as long as you don’t give up and you keep trying. Shits going to get tough, but you have to remember you are tougher and you will get through it no matter what, and you aren’t alone. You don’t have to smile all the time, you can cry if you have to, you can scream, cuss, or do whatever you want to or need to do to feel better. No crying doesn’t change anything that is happening, but it at least shows some type of emotions of which you are going through.

Though life may get tougher and bigger rocks may be thrown your way you will get through it as long as you keep trying and you don’t give up. Don’t throw in the towel no matter how hard it gets because you are so strong and you can get through anything that you have to go through, and when it is all said and done, it will all be worth it. It may not feel like it right now but when you get through it, it will be worth it.

No matter what happens in life you will always have someone by your side to help you get through it, it may not seem like it because you keep pushing them away, but they are still there for you when you are ready to talk about it, not everyone leaves when times get tough. I know I keep saying that I have a few friends that are always there for me, but I also know what it feels like to feel as if you have no one to talk to and most of the time it is because we push those people away and always tell them we are fine, even when we aren’t, and they know we aren’t because our faces say it all, every time something is wrong.

Even when you want to call it quits and give up on life you should just take a few minutes or days and think about it before you actually call it quits. If you want to give up because you are feeling overwhelmed with all that you have to do, then take five minutes, set a timer for five minutes, and work, and then take ten minutes, and reset that timer and work at it, soon the mountain of work that is overwhelming you will fade away. I took this advice from one of my teacher’s senior years, and it works, it is what helped me graduate that year. I know the feeling of being overwhelmed, all too well actually, and I often use this advice, because I now know it works. I actually share it with others because I know it works and I want to be able to help them feel better about all the stuff they have to do.

Feeling overwhelmed with things going on in your life will bring you down and keep you down and you feel like you cannot get it all done, so you don’t do anything, and it just makes you feel worse. I know that feeling too, I have been there too, but don’t give up because you are feeling overwhelmed. It makes you feel like life sucks when it is all because you are feeling overwhelmed, and life truly doesn’t suck. Sometimes you just need five minutes to breathe. You shouldn’t try to overload yourself with things to do, it sucks when you do that and it will make you feel like you can’t do anything because of all the things you have to do, so just work on one thing at a time, and work five minutes at a time on it.

You will get through it, no matter how much you want to give up, I don’t think you should because I think you will rock this world if you can get out of that overwhelming state of mind. You will change the world if you don’t give up, and if you keep moving forward. When shit is tough, you always need to remind yourself that you are tougher, and when you get through what you are going through, you will be even tougher.

It may not be easy to remind yourself how tough you are so, when you are feeling weak you should remind yourself of how far you have come in your life. Maybe you don’t want to be here anymore, and if that is the case find just one person that makes your life better and make them your reason to stay here. It all will get better with time, as long as you don’t give up now. You are too strong to stop making a difference in this world.
