Hey, finals season, right? You made it. Just six more weeks, just five more weeks. A month. Three weeks. Two, one. Three days. So close, get it done.
You always tell yourself itâll be better in the summer. Youâll go outside, meet people, go places, make money⊠but youâre not really sure.
The heat is pretty bad, sometimes. Makes your head hurt, right? And everyone seems to be so much busier than you, have so much more friends than you.
You got past finals, but your brain skips past summer completely to next year. You canât go through another fall, another winter, another spring. Not like this. Youâre sick and tired of living like this.
..is it even worth staying here, just for one season?
Let me tell you what I try to tell myself every morning.
The sun is shining. Vitamin D is important for your mental and physical health! Try to get outside, at least in the shade. Cold water can help you with your headache, and youâll feel much better hydrated.
Summer can be exciting. Youâve got some camps, some activities, sports, etc. If you have a friend, hang out with them. If you donât.. public spaces are nice. Itâs nice to hear other peopleâs voices.
You deserve to live. Your soul is beautiful, but maybe itâs just in the wrong place, wrong people. I bet you donât believe your soul is beautiful, but it is. Someone will find your soul, someday.
Itâs not bad to think about the future, but next fall is a couple steps away. You can rest for now, I promise. Finals are done.
