Assignments, work/chores, sports, classes, sleep, cleaning… and so much more! These things need to get done, and it stresses us out! Everything seems SO complicated and so frustrating that we feel we can’t do it! We just, lay down and are like, “Well, it’s not like I would’ve finished anyways!”, but that’s not how it should go! We need to be able to pull ourselves together, put the frustration and stress behind us, and just get started and see how far we go.
Yesterday I was really frustrated cause it was really hard to move around and it is just really stressful to move around on crutches after a surgery and I was just really nervous about my knee. I was a little upset with my two friends, but they didn’t do anything whatsoever. So you two know who you are and if you’re reading this, I’m sorry I flipped out on you, I was just tired cause I don’t get too much sleep, frustrated and stressed cause of the LOADS of homework and studying we had to do that day.
Now to continue where I left off: I was really really stressed that day, and what topped it off, was this one three-year-old kid. He’s adorable and young. But as I’m on my crutches hobbling down the hall, he runs to me, GRABS ONE OF MY CRUTCHES, AND YANKS IT AWAY FROM ME! I am always so cautious (except at home I’m like super fast on my crutches) so of course I got really scared. I threw a terrified look at him and his guardian said to the little boy, “Don’t do that. Go say sorry!”, and by then I was already at the end of the hall, I didn’t care that my crush was by the door and I had a sickening glare on my face that could scare anyone off. I was just too stressed out and too upset! The little kid came up and said sorry, I have a weakness for kids so I smiled genuinely and looked to the guardian and said, “Don’t worry about it”. Rough day Rough day.
Once I’m home I go to my room, and lay on my bed, (I’m not going to deny, just a few tears were strolling down my cheek.) trying to shove the stressful things behind me.
I knew I needed to get up, so I headed to the living room and began my work. Study, Study, Study, math, math, math, history, history, and history vocab. I finished my knee exercises and checked my emails and messages. Everything went great. I am so glad I got out of my bed because in the end, things aren’t really as hard as they seem, you just need to stop stressing about how hard it’s GOING to be, and start the work first.
