All of us have bad days. A failed test, a broken heart, a fight with a friend, or in my case, a debate gone wrong. We spend hours trying to figure out why the universe is so cruel to us. We keep wondering whether a different choice would have made things any more different. I'm neither a therapist nor a philosopher, so I wont tell you that it'll all be okay and the pain will go away. I'll be honest. It wont. You'll be angry, you'll be frustrated. You'll keep asking yourself why. Though, after a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks - it'll be okay. But the pain? It'll be there.
When we were young, we were taught that the world is a wonderful place. We'd read fairy-tales and we'd learn that there is always one villain in a story and the rest of the world is filled with good people.
But as we grow up, we realise that the world in reality, can be a very scary place. Most people are villains and only a few can be called heroes.
You wont always know who to trust and you wont always make the right choices. You'll screw up. You'll mess up. And then you'll have a bad day.
But what you need to do is tell yourself that you dont always screw up. That you're not always bad. In fact, you're better than what you give yourself credit for. Not all days will be favourable to you. If they are, then how will you appreciate the good ones?
Sometimes you deserve the bad day and sometimes you dont. Either way, you have to deal with it. Talking to your best friend helps a lot. You may think that they'll judge you, and you may be a little insecure, but trust me, there's nothing better than the feeling you get when your best friend's there for you. The next thing you can do is do something you like. For me that's cooking. So, whenever I'm having a bad day or I'm low on spirits, I take a trip to the kitchen. And believe me, you'll feel so much better. And at last, try to make a joke out of it. Life is short. The sooner you realise that, the better it will be for you.
That night, when you try to sleep, the events of the day will keep coming back to your mind. You'll try so hard to try to think about something else, but that wont work. So what I say is - think about it. Deal with the pain. The more you think about it, the easier it will get. And one day soon, you'll realise that that the thought of that day no longer makes you feel as bad as it did earlier. And the pain? It will have vanished.
