Just when you think it couldn't get any worse...

Have you ever felt like the world was out to get you? Technology hated you? Or that bad things always happen in threes so you just wait for the third bad thing to happen just so you don't have to deal with any more misery? Holy have I ever. Let me tell you a little story... Things were going great! I was in love with my fresh start and made so many new friends with familiar faces. School just felt right and I finally felt that I was on track towards something great. It was different but a good different. Then just when I got in the grove of the whole "everything is going right" thing, a big fat wall of "I am going to rain on your parade" hit me. Don't get me wrong no one died or anything, nothing major happened. It was just the little things. The stupid little things that will set you off without even your knowledge. Then the next thing you know you are crying over spilled milk. It all started with the stupid-good-for-nothing cell phone. It broke. Completely. Snapped right in half. No fun. Then, my internet stick broke. Snapped right in half. No fun. Just to make things even worse... the milk went bad. I couldn't catch a break. Everything was not going according to plan. Everything was sour milk. After listening to Florence and the Machine's "The Dog Days Are Over" for the zillionth time trying to convince myself the dog days were really over it struck me- I am the maker of my own happiness. I don't have to feel this way. Even though I am going through a crummy time, things will get better in the end. Don't cry over spilled milk for it is the big picture we really need to look at. It is never worth feeling sorry for yourself. Even when you are in a rut and you are thinking the whole world is against you. It's not. Thats the beauty of life. Although it sometimes doesn't go our way all good will come some day. We just have to wait. And when it gets better, it feels so good! I feel so good. I am so much more optimistic about things. There will always be struggle and there will always be heartache and pain but you just have to remember we are all in this little game together. We are given nothing we can't handle. So push on. Live above what is bringing you down. And for all that it is worth- don't cry over spilled milk.

... and then your phone breaks again. But I am much more optimistic this time around. Because I know life has everything to offer. It will be amazing as...
