The irony of this picture makes me smile, a visual representation of my state of mind.

This would be my perfect job in 5/6 years time….
Today, i feel drained…. you know those days…. where you feel totally drained of life.
I feel ill, haven’t been to the gym in a week because of my illness, struggling to concentrate on my work and commissions, I woke up late, very late.
I have reoccurring negative thoughts and constantly reoccurring memories, the kind which make you cringe, make you wish you could step back into a time machine and gently undo the mistakes you’ve made even though you believe ‘you should not regret anything, they made you stronger, made you who you are’.
The world is bleak, it cries and has been very sad for many days now, though, I’ve only ventured out and noticed to darken the skies once more with the cancerous venom we inhale from a cigarette. It’s so easy to be unhealthy and so difficult to be healthy, taking responsibility for your actions is the hardest thing, if you mess up, there is only one person to blame.
IT IS TIMES LIKE THESE THAT MAKE ME TRULY HAPPY BECAUSE IF IT WAS NOT FOR DAYS LIKE THESE, I WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO SAVOR THE OTHER DAYS AND FINER THINGS IN LIFE. IF YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WOULD PERISH, YOUR LIFE WOULD CHANGE, YOU WOULD LEARN TO CHERISH EVEN THE MOST SIMPLEST THINGS IN LIFE. EVERYBODY NEED TO EXPERIENCE BAD TIMES TO APPRECIATE THE GOOD TIMES IN OUR LIVES.
SO…
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO, EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE WORST JOB IN THE WORLD
BE WHO YOU ARE, DON’T BE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WANT OR EXPECT YOU TO BE
DON’T REGRET THE BAD TIMES, THEY PAVE THE WAY FOR THE GOOD TIMES
DO YOUR BEST EVERYDAY, SO WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP, YOU CAN LOOK BACK AND KNOW YOU HAVEN’T WASTED YOUR LIFE
LEARN TO ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE, NOT WHAT YOU WANT, THAT WAY YOU CAN BE TRULY HAPPY
