When Life Hands You Lemons
What do you do when you are having a beyond rubbish day? We all get those days where you just want to curl up in ball under a duvet and just cry. And that's ok. Afterall, we are human.
I would be lying if I said I had never cried myself to sleep before. Waking up lots of times only to start crying and then all you can to is cry yourself back to sleep. It's a vicious cycle that leaves you with a disgustingly painful headache, a raw face from all the salty tears and a big swollen face.
It's not easy to not be emotional. Not everyone can be cheered up by a hot drink or even a hug or a funny joke. Some people just need space to cry it out. It seems that when you are unhappy, when people come up and ask if you're okay etc, it somehow makes the waterworks start up again because all you want is to be left alone. You get all the more emotional especially if your 4 year old little sisters comes up to you and tells you not to be upset- and asks why you are sad, and why there are tears.
Sometimes no matter how hard you try not to cry, the tears just cascade down your face anyway. Surely something is saying that you shouldn't hold your tears in, let it all out. It's painful but everyone needs a good cry sometimes.
There are people in this world that I envy. Envy is part of society, it's how we are as humans. Even the best people in the word who claim to see everything through rose-tinted glasses will experience times when they compare what they have to others and want what others have.
Comparing how well-off your family is, why other kids have what you don't have. It starts at a young age. Then when you grow up, we see that there are so many other things to compare to what you have. You wonder why somebody who really isn't a good person has a relationship with their boyfriend/girlfriend that you do not have with your own. You start weighing things up and think, "well my life's a bit sh*t". Why some people get to do this and you don't.
The general way people would usually respond is to say that "oh, that's such an unhealthy attitude....bla bla bla". Why gather all these unhappy thoughts when YOLO (you only live once)? Well I'm not made out of stone. I have emotions that need to be let out and I do it in the company of nobody else.
Solitude is not necessarily a negative thing. There is nothing wrong with some alone time to get away from things that are stressing you out or making you unhappy. I'm still young and probably have so much more to experience from life but so far, sometimes life is really just poo. If I have already experienced so much stress and unhappiness, I dread to think what other things are lurking there ready to p*ss me off and make life difficult.
I know this isn't particularly cheery but hey, we all have our different ways of letting off steam.
When life hands you lemons, it's okay not to have to make lemonade.
There upcoming reviews so stay tuned!
