I'm personally feeling really good today. I fell asleep around 2:30am which is so much better than I've been doing. I got through all my classes without having a panic attack. I finally got the courage to do laundry in my dorm. And I have the rest of my day planned out and I like the way it looks. I'm now waiting for my laundry to dry, and as I'm doing my homework while I wait, I started singing Parabola by Tool to myself. I had a realization when I reached this stanza of the song.
Twirling 'round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving 'round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and
Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
A chance to be alive and breathing
Even though we're always handling our issues, that doesn't mean we can't make life enjoyable. And if there's nothing bringing us joy, then it's a blessing just enough to be alive and breathing. I'm fully aware that I'm going to crash tomorrow and go back to feeling the way I always do, but I'm trying to learn to be grateful for the bursts of joy I'll feel. That even though life sucks almost all the time, there's enough joy, and happiness, to keep going.
