Today Is An Okay Day

12.29.18

Hi.

As a human, not anything else mind you, I know how to distinguish a good day from a bad day. The only difference between the way I do this and the others do. Generally, I’ve heard that a good day is when you’ve smiled a lot, maybe got some good grades, did well on that hard test, laughed with a friend at a good meme, etc. (That’s for normal days, of course, not fancy special fun occasions.) I’m a little different. Most days for me are eh days. When nothing really happens, there’s some minor good and some minor bad, I’m not happy or sad or angry, I’m just existent. Okay days are rare. Today isn’t a good day, full of euphoria and smiling and laughing and self-okayness and stuff. But an okay day. When I say okay, I don’t mean it in a sulking, actually-bad-but-I’ll-make-it-sound-better way. To be able to have a day like this is actually really really fantastic. Today I experienced very little body-hating (I don’t want to say dysphoria due to lack of a diagnosis). I am still feeling good about myself. I look good, I did some work today, I never felt sad, I finished a book, and I got plenty of time for YouTube. When that happens, I feel okay. Good, for me, isn’t when your day has been dedicated to being the best day ever, like spending the day with a friend or in a library alone. You don’t put it on a schedule and say “I’m going to spend this day doing what I want to do and making myself feel better.” That’s a great day. A good day is when maybe one or two good things happened that are more than minor things. It’s when I’m in my room doing homework, then start asking myself questions and developing stories in my mind and helping other people feel happy and push the homework away to focus on the things in life that really matter. Sometimes I’m feeling really loving of things, that I could read thousands of hate comments and just feel so happy for them. It’s like in the movies when the protagonist somehow sees a different, sadder version of reality, then they’re filled with joy when returned to their own (”It’s A Wonderful Life,” “Click,” etc.). An okay day is when nothing huge happens, but you feel as though you’re enough. You don’t feel trapped or tired or hopeless. Your mind is doing its own thing, and it isn’t on autopilot. You’re thinking, and your thoughts are good and focusing on things that bring subtle bits of joy to life. I think about stories and games and dreams and people who helped me and made huge impacts on my life. If I choose to watch videos, I won’t watch angry ones. There’s no reason to ruin an okay day. I’m not sure if this is confusing or not. I’m just happy that I exist today, right now, at 10:21 on December 29th. I feel okay. I am okay in my skin. Today is an okay day. Look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now. There is an answer; good luck finding yours. - Thinking_Upside_Down
