The Bad Days Teach You

I’m setting a scene with this photo.

Today I felt useless, tired, exhausted, and overall pathetic. It started last night, I got home from spending the entire afternoon applying for jobs and looking for places that would hire a 17 year old. After two hours of tossing and turning I finally fell asleep at 1:30 am and I woke up at 7:30am on the dot without my alarm. A total of 6 hours of sleep.

I’ve been up all day like a zombie that hates it’s own brain because all I feel is a piercing pain. I tried to watch T.V.,I tried to read, it all physically and mentally exhausts me. And now I feel even worse for venting via blog. But I know that tomorrow is going to be a new day.

Tomorrow is going to be better because I got an interview at Hollister, the only place that hires at 17 around here. I’m going to nail this interview and get the job as a brand representative. It’s going to be a better day because I am going to make it a better day.

But I need to remember that today wasn’t entirely wasted. I took a rest that my body was needing. Today made me appreciate the days that are full of creativity and family fun. And most importantly, today taught me that naps are amazing and under appreciated.
