Everyone,whether they like it or not, has had bad days, days when it just feels like nothing is working, days when it's all so overwhelming, or days when all of your plans go south.
For some, bad days involve sudden catastrophic and life changing events, while for others it's just little little details that go missing and with time begin to shift you off your intended goal. Then one day you just look and realize you're no longer on the right track.
For me, the majority of the day so far it's felt like a bad day. I woke up today as I often do, with so many plans and expectations, but thanks to a mixture of indecisiveness, procrastination, and a couple unexpected events, I ended up doing none of the things I had planned.
It's really frustrating when you have something planned, and then since you "have enough time" you scoot it over a little, then an unexpected event happens and all of a sudden there's no longer time for what you had planned. That's the story of my life today.
Oh well, I've learnt my lesson. There's no such thing as enough time. From now on I'll get things done as soon as possible, no matter how much "time" I think I have.
Now I'm just laying here in my bed thinking of how tomorrow is going to be two times more stressful than it's supposed to be. Trying to plan everything better than I did yesterday, and leave room for unexpected situations. At times it almost feels as though there needs to be more hours in a day. But even if there were more, what's my guarantee I won't take it for granted?
Whenever days like this happen I just do what I'm doing now. Go home, prepare a meal and eat, then I just relax, play games, chat or use hive (like I'm doing now) till I get tired and fall asleep.
While at times I lay down and Imagine. I imagine a better time, when all of the hustle and bustle is over. When I'm able to do whatever I want whenever I want.
The only bright light today was hive. I was able to go around, read a few posts and just clear my head. Then around 6pm I was able to catch up with #PYPT. I think #PYPT is the only major highlight of my day so far. Listening in, interacting with others, sharing our posts and that of others. The whole show really brightened my mood, I feel a whole lot better now.
I've come to realize that though annoying, bad days are a part of life. Sometimes it's totally our fault, sometimes it's not. Shit happens, so we just have to put it behind us, do our best and hope that it doesn't happen again any time soon.
What do you do after a bad day?
