Everyday Battles

Have you ever heard people say "it's the little, everyday things that get me through the day," or something to that extent? I know I have. And those little things; a blue sky, birds chirping, a grassy meadow to lay in, et cetera et cetera; are nice 'n all, but see there's more than just "life's simple pleasures" because there's also little battles that are fought everyday. Sure birds chirping is a beautiful sound, but it's not what gets me through everyday. That simple pleasure is usually countered with some tiny battle I have to fight everyday. Whether my struggles with ADD in a class that's already kicking my ass, or just the stress that builds everyday from that same class. But ya know what? I'm gettin a little tired of fighting everyday. I'm pretty sure I'm slowly losing my sanity.

Now folks, just cuz I said I'm gettin tired of fighting everyday, and I don't wanna fight every damn day, doesn't mean I'm writing my suicide letter. I just feel like I'm backed into a corner for the first time in a long time. I've been fighting and fighting, every day. FIghting with my psyche, fighting with someone, fighting with stress. Whatever it is I'm fighting, you better believe I'm doin it everyday. Small battles start to add up, and what you could say is that I'm gettin tired. Just physically and mentally tired, worn out. Little things add up, and fighting everyday starts to take its toll and wears on your mentally and physically.

Now what do you do if you have a friend that's shutting down? Well you can distract them from whatever it is. Take them out, hang out, something, anything usually helps. Let them know that they aren't alone, that these battles aren't solo missions, that they have help along the way. This paragraph isn't telling anyone reading this to call me and feel sorry for me, I'm just trying to get people aware of when a friend is struggling and what to do. If you read this and feel compelled to call me, I probably won't tell you anything, no offense.

And for those strugglin and fighting everyday of your life, what you gotta do is find your way of gettin by. Just find what it is that'll get you through the day. Whether it's losing yourself in music, writing a blog entry, or even going out and enjoying those little things.

Everyday is filled with battles, the key is figuring out which ones are worth fighting, because if you fight them all, you'll never make it out alive.
