You have to fight your bad days to deserve your best days :)

Sometimes, life is ridiculous, and I feel like this:

 

And this...

And my personal favourite...

 

However, do I give up? Nah. I know that life always goes on. Sure, someone may be giving me a hard time at work, or someone is being a jerk, or things just aren’t going how I planned. Sometimes, I’m even the problem. During these moments, I become super stressed. I hate it when things aren’t going right. Of course, it’s going to happen, because life isn’t perfect, but I still stress over it. That’s why I’ve found that during these moments of annoyance and stress, it’s good to get away from it all. To do something that helps get your mind off the situation, or helps you to think clearly on what’s at hand.

 

I’ve taken up a new hobby. Running. No, I’m not going to be the next marathon runner, or whatever, but I have found that it is an excellent way for me to relax and relieve stress. I only go at night, because running under the stars, and in the dark, is relaxing. I’m able to think clearly about my situation, without any interruption, and I’m also being healthy all at the same time.

I’ve been going through a lot of changes the past few months, making better decisions on my behalf, and I’m happy to report that I’m finally okay. Life still isn’t perfect. I’m still dealing with crap all the time, but I have found an outlet that actually works. That actually helps me feel better.

I’ve also realized that I have to fight through my bad days in order to get to the good ones that I know will come. Even at your deepest, darkest moment, know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And no, it’s not the light everyone talks about before you die. Good will always prevail over bad. Look at your past, and look at where you are. How could you get here if you had been stuck in the past eh? You couldn’t have.

So, I now feel like...

And my other favourite...

 

No matter what happens, you were given this life for a reason. This includes all the good times, and the bad times you receive. Never give up.

Also, you know what else is a good feeling? Running into someone from high school, and having them not recognize you because you look so damn good. Since I’ve graduated, I’ve lost 40 pounds, and counting, and I’m loving every minute of it :)
