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.

  • Summer

    The cool air on my face.

    The sun blazing overhead.

    Running through the neighborhood with friends.

    With no fears of school bothering your mind.

  • What did I do?

    I have been feeling like I am even more different then normal because of my math teacher that I have. When I ask for something that I need to do well in school even though we are done with class and are waiting for the next class to be ready.
