Maybe it’s because I have
fifteen pounds of homework crushing my soul. Maybe it’s because I listen to the most depressing songs
on my way home from work. Maybe it’s because I ruined my favorite pair of
green pants, or maybe it’s because my
heartstrings feel like they are being pulled in a million and one directions.
Whatever it was causing my gloom, it culminated with one defeated tweet: “worst.
day. ever.”
I applaud those
who remain positive amid difficulty. I always try to find the light in things,
and eventually I do, but sometimes it takes a little ice cream for me to see
it.
As I grow older, and as my list of responsibilities lengthens, I
am becoming increasingly aware of the consequence of my actions. But the
expectation to be a doting daughter and dress well and be a good friend, when
paired with the pressure inherent to college, makes smart decision-making
difficult. I am engulfed by obligation, consumed by people and things that will
have no effect on my future.
So riddle me this: How do you live in the moment while still looking
to the future?
Wishing everyone happy thoughts.
