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.

  • The Shadow

    I woke up just like any other day. Get up, get dressed, go to school. It was all normal up until recess. I was on the swing set the first time I saw him. A shadow of a figure that looked. . . like me?

  • Every day

    Some days during the last block of school I feel like falling asleep.

    Not because I don't care about school. In fact I want to learn,

  • Numb

    I find it absurd that the President is doing so much bad I no longer have the capacity to feel any more.

    I have become 

    numb

    numb to the fact that this man has broken so many laws you can't even count them.
