Handling Low Points in Life
The hardest thing to do is most likely to be the right thing to do
I’m telling you, hitting bottom is a good thing. Because there’s nowhere to go but up. — Bridesmaids
I met an old friend the other day. We haven’t met for more than 2 years. There was nothing quite particular about it except that we haven’t seen each other physically for too long. He shared about his next plan in the next couple of months. Seems exciting, fun, and adventurous. I was happy for him for a quick second.
The thing about having that kind of moment isn’t that I want what he has or that I envy him. Maybe I do, but not like when a kid wants the same bike or doll that the other kids have.
I envy that he has something that he feels excited about and I haven’t felt excited about anything for a while. I felt depressed and unhappy. I felt alone and lonely. I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing with my life and that kept me stuck feeling like shit.
Having Something To Be Excited About
You have to always have something to look forward to. — Julia Louis-Dreyfus
