Finding Joy in the Small Things

In this time in the world with everything that is going on, we need to find joy in the small things. Your sanity depends on it. If you focus on the bad things, your senses will be overwhelmed and all you will be able to think about is the bad in the world, which, if you are like this for long enough, will break you. 

But if you find joy in the small things, you can go through life far happier than someone going through life focusing on the bad. If you find joy in the things you like to do, your life will be even better. If you can fill your life with things you love, you will feel like you are living your dream. 

This is not to say that you can't think about sad or depressing things sometimes, but don't let that consume you and dictate your life. You control who you are and who you can become. Follow your dreams and never give up. I am not saying that you can't take a break, but never stop trying to become who you want to be.

  • Anxiety

    When I go to school on occasion I worry that I will be treated differently because of my hearing.

    something completely out of my control.

    I fear that a teacher could pick me out of the class because of my differences.

  • Nature's Beauty

    Redwoods standing tall and strong.

    sycamores with mushroom-like foliage.

    Maple with their sap soon to be syrup.

    Willows weeping in the new dawn light.

    Cardinals singing on the branches of a oak tree 

  • Silently judged

    Every day 

    I feel like I am constantly being watched.

    Judged

    And looked down upon.

    I know that this might not be true 

    But I feel the same regardless.

    Because that is human nature.
