Whenever I'm having days like this, when everything feels so hopeless and too hard to do, I try to think about all the good I have in my life. Mostly the people in my life, but sometimes that isn't enough because everyone in columbus is so far away and people in cinci are too busy. Besides, depending on the day, If i'm feeling emotional I don't want to think about too many good times because it makes me feel even more sad about how bad i'm feeling in the first place. It's kinda of confusing, I know, but it's hard to explain.
So...I like to think about how God is watching over me no matter what and it could always be worse. Much, much worse. Even if you're not a christian and you don't believe that he's always watching, you have to know that you're always better off then others. That thought alone should make you feel a little bit better and give you even a tiny ounce of encouragement to push through and know that you're strong enough to make it through whatever you may be going through. I like songs like the one Little Big Town sang because they're not a christian band and this song isn't even about God...thats just the way I like to take it.
"Bring It On Home" You got someone here wants to make it alright
Someone who loves you more than life right here
You got willing arms that'll hold you tight
A hand to lead you on through the night right here
I know your heart can get all tangled up inside
But don't you keep it to yourself
When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
The weight of the world is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me
You know I know you like the back of my hand
But did you know I'm gonna do all that I can right here
I'm gonna lie with you till you fall asleep
When the morning comes I'm still gonna be right here (yes I am)
So take your worries and just drop them at the door
Just leave it all behind
Please let me be your safe harbor
Don't let the water come and carry you away
You got someone here wants to make it alright
Someone who loves you more than life right here
