Good Days vs Bad Days

There are good days and there are bad days. The good days put smiles on people’s faces. On a good day it’s easier to go to bed. On the good days, your attitude might be less bossy and calm with a sense of happiness. However, on the bad days that is when you realize your life as a whole. One bad thing, one small piece of something of your day can ruin everything. Us teens let the bad things get to us too easily. Us teens are still learning a fracture of who we are and how to handle the bad days. But with support systems those bad days can turn and then on those bad days you can realize who’s there for you and who isn’t. Life is hard we all know it, but it’s your job to pick yourself up in the times of struggle. It’s your job to power through the times of sadness. It’s your job to put a smile on your face. It’s your job to remember that in a bad day there’s always a tomorrow and it’s your job to remember that things will fall back into place it just takes time. So in those bad days keep your head up high try to put a smile on your face. Tell yourself if you’re having a bad day, that you have managed to get through every bad day, you’ve had, so you’ll make it through this one too. Use your struggles and frustrations today to motivate you rather than annoy you. You’re in control of the way you look at life be mindful. In the times of stress and anxiety breathe inhale and exhale and remember everything is going to be okay.

Questions

Who are you? What’s important to you? What makes you happy? What makes you sad? Why are you here today?
My name is Samantha I’m 16 and I currently live in LA.  I don’t know whats important to me. I don’t know what makes me sad I don’t know what makes me happy. I don’t know why I’m here today. You can answer these broad questions at an early age but in my opinion the answers won’t come to you very easily. These types of questions develop over time because in a four years from now you’re going to be a different person with new interests in life. I’m always asked what’s my story? I could answer that question right now based on my life currently but I know that answer is going to be different soon enough. The only question I could answer right now is what do you want to do? I want to influence and inspire people to do the right thing. I want to give advice to people who don’t know which path to take and/or if they’re stuck. I want to show teens around the world that they are not the only ones feeling like they’re trapped in a white box not knowing where to go. And I know that there are some teens out there that know what they want in life, know how to act, they know who they are, they know what they want, and they know which path to take, and I look up to those people in so many ways. But I’m going to be straight up honest with you I don’t know who I am and I’m trying to figure it out and I’m all alone. I want to be all alone because I want to be able to accomplish the things I want in life by myself. That’s what makes me powerful, sure I have family by my side and I have friends but being alone that’s confidence and that’s power. Having confidence and being brave is hard but if you “begin” and you take a “step” to what you want you can be confident and you can be brave or you can be all the other characteristic traits you want to be. Just remember, “This is your road and your road only, people can walk on it with you, but no one can walk it for you.” So go out in the world and find who you really are. Take off the mask of perfection and show the world who you are, and what you want to accomplish in life.
