Sometimes I sit and think about my life as an adult so far and it feels like I have had one dumpster fire right after another. And yes while I’m mostly exaggerating it still doesn’t change that feeling. It could be anything from divorce, to job loss, to deaths in the family and even problems with strong willed teenagers who just want to try you patience and insist on walking a path that they shouldn’t.
All of these things have effected me, and I’ve had days where the depression was so intense that I didn’t even want to get out of bed. In fact I’ve spent more days that I should listlessly watching Netflix wishing things would change or that they would be better.
But for myself, I’ve decided that I’ve got to keep going and that I have to fight these dumpster fires. Sometimes as hard as it feels I have to tell myself to keep moving. Or otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten to experience most of the good things that I have in my life. Or I wouldn’t have been brave enough to make the hard decisions.
Just Survive Your Personal Dumpster Fire
I won’t be that person that will tell you that it will get better, believe me I feel like I’ve lived the last two years in the proverbial dumpster fire. But I’ve kept going.
I’ve cried, I’ve laughed and had to make hard decisions.
But I’m here today, better for it. Hoping that in a few months I will find that the hardest decision I’ve ever made has paid off. Until that day though, I will be keeping my head up and moving forward for that day. So you there, with your crazy life going on, keep your head up too.
