It's difficult to go through a transition in your life let alone doing so with an emotionally vulnerable roommate. No matter how selfish people think I am, I always set my emotions aside to please others and make them happy. At the end of the day, I'm moody and I'll get over what's hurt my feelings, but when there is pain that involves someone else, I make it my priority to invest myself in helping to alleviate the issue.

Though it may bring me down and in turn, make me just as depressed, I really feel the pressure. It hurts. You may think I don't understand but I do. I will not allow my friend to mope around and think too much about things that are toxic. That isn't the way to deal with an issue. It gets difficult sometimes, I know that, but the thing is that you have to remain optimistic and not worry about things you can't control.

I was thinking on the bus yesterday. The world works in the most beautiful way. It's the only perfect thing to me. Every day, the earth delicately orbits around the sun, moving in such a manner that we never take time to realize. We take our world fore granted, never appreciating how hard our habitat works to establish order. As much as we abuse the world, it never ceases to stay aligned with it's goals. The sun rises and it sets and we wish that we had more time. We have more than enough time. More than enough time to get our lives in order and wish that things were better. But we hardly take time out to really sit and think about how wonderful being alive is in a perfect world.

Anyway, the point I'm getting at is that all these factors we add in our lives really distracts us from what is important and what really makes us feel alive. I feel that in today's society, we often feel bad more than happy. We don't put in enough effort to allow ourselves to be happy and appreciate what we have. Instead we focus on what makes us hurt the most and let that determine how our days go. Of course it is okay to feel pain and hurt, but when you let it take control of your happiness and your appreciativeness is when life can turn for the worst.

Sure, the issue is still there and it's going to stay there until the world figures it out. So let it figure it out and don't worry about how horrible it is. Because really, it isn't. Sadness is inevitable, but it is also temporary. Don't let it take control of you. Always know that you are living no matter what the results of the days go. The sun always rises and sets for you. Take time to really love and appreciate being alive.
