10 Things to Remember When You Hate Your Life
1. It probably sucks. It probably sucks really really bad. Don’t
let anyone belittle your problems by telling you that you are overreacting. You
are allowed to be unsatisfied with things.
2.
When your family doesn’t speak to you unless they are telling you what you did
wrong, it is okay to be upset with them and want to be away from them. Go ahead
and spend an entire weekend with your best friend forgetting about all your
problems. When you go home, it’s like starting on a fresh page.
3. Other people’s negativity is going to bring you down. Even the
most positive of us face this problem. Don’t hate them for it. Try to help
them. If they are not open to making changes, respectfully ending toxic
relationships is okay too.
4. Listening to music is therapeutic. Do it a lot.
5. People who respond to your complaints with, “you should be
grateful that you at least ______,” are not the ones you should tell your
problems to anymore.
6. You don’t have to feel silly for thinking, “no one understands
me.” You probably have every reason to believe this. Find someone who does,
even if it’s a musician you may never speak to personally.
7. It’s okay to take time for yourself. Skip your after school
activities and take a walk alone with your thoughts. Go home and take a bubble
bath until your skin is so wrinkly you feel like you can’t touch anything. Get
in bed and make lists of things you live for.
8. You are in control. If you don’t like your outlook on the
world, change it. If you don’t like the person you are, change that too. You
can change everything. Train yourself to have a new handwriting, get a haircut,
start eating healthier food, dress a different way, find a new circle of
friends, explore a new hobby. As long as it is a healthy, natural change, it’s
probably at least worth a shot.
9. The little things go a long way. Find something that makes you
smile when you see it- fish, orchids, stars, the color purple- and make that
thing mean more to you than anything else. Let seeing that thing make your
entire day and show you how beautiful the world can be.
10. The world is beautiful. The fact that any form of life can
exist on this planet is beautiful. The one in billions chance that you should
exist at all is beautiful. You are beautiful. Someday you will be fully aware
of this and everything that is happening right now will seem so small. Don’t
give up before you have the chance to see that day.
