Have you ever had a day where you’re there, but not really? I’m talking about the days when you’re both present and absent at the same time, days when you know you need to snap of it or rather in it, but nothing seems to remedy the situation at hand. These days can seem to do nothing more than drag on like a valedictorian at a high school graduation. So how do we cope?
On those days (specifically today) I’m reminded of just how important it is to keep fighting, to see the light and appreciate every moment of the day you wish would end. You see, this morning I woke up in a rut of which nothing could seem to pull me out of and despite my best efforts and the million reasons I had to smile and keep fighting, I simply felt like giving up. I just so happen to be taking a daily scroll around the neighborhood of Instagram when I saw it…
The post read “Dwayne Haskins 1997-2022” & my heart sank for 2 reasons. 1. He was a former Ohio state buckeyes (of which I’m an avid fan of) and one of the best to ever wear #7. 2. I realized how ungrateful I was being complaining about my existence when this man’s tragically ended In a car accident. As the wheels kept spinning in my head I kept wondering if he had left and children or a wife behind while I’m sitting here not appreciating my own.
The point is, and I know this is cliché, but it could always be worse. So keep fighting! It took me seeing death for me to appreciate the life I was ungratefully complaining about this morning.. Call someone and tell them how much they mean to you, go out of your way at your job, pay it forward, anything you can do to get yourself feeling better and appreciate your meaningful existence.
And remember… As long as you have life, you can learn to live.
