Loving & Hating Life

Do you ever get the feeling of somehow, in one moment, life seems wonderful, and then 10 seconds later, someone scolds you of doing something and life seems life a disaster? I just experienced it this week and I am absolutely loving this contrast.

Let's start with the good side: why life may seem such a wonderful thing in one moment. I believe that it is because we feel safe in that moment--we get this sudden gratefulness of us being in this world is a thing that provides us with so many opportunities and great things to enjoy and that even though we do face occasional difficulties, life is still enjoyable no matter what. On the other hand, sometimes there is somehow a devil on our shoulders telling us that there are so many things in life that does not go our way and whatever is happening seems like a task that is never to be accomplished and in short, life is just upside down. Maybe this is just my hormones reacting during puberty, however I still think that this is a universal human experience.

I forgot if I have mentioned this on this blog before (I literally say this every time I write on here), I am a huge fan of Mai Pham. Her YouTube videos are just so enjoyable to watch and her personality is just so radical and your mood just gets uplifted so easily with watching her. She has a "secret" spam account on Instagram where she posts stuff every now and then about her life and sometimes, it is of her crying about stuff in her life. Instagram suspended my account forever so I cannot see stuff on there, but even with that, I just feel so comforted that not everyone's life is perfect as stuff may seem on social media and that things will get better eventually if we have a positive twist on our perception of it.

If you are going through a rough time, just know that you are not alone and that things will get better :)
