Ever heard the saying "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"...so annoying right?
I mean who needs that kind of annoying positivity in their life. I know I am not alone in this sentiment, I have been validated by many internet memes, twisting the saying, into more realistic emotions, such as "When life gives you lemons, throw them at people"...or something along those lines.
The thing is, we all get handed lemons in life.
Literally, as I am typing this, my three year old just peed all over my couch. Nice. Its a super fancy couch, totally not kid friendly, in any manner.
Anyway, we all get lemons. We should probably try to make the best out of every situation, and stay positive.
Throwing things at people is generally frowned upon. It may make us feel better for a bit, but we will regret it later.
Its just nice to know that others have a hard time in life too. It's easy to look around and think everyone has such great lives, what is wrong with me? I guess, being a person is hard. I forget people usually only share the things that are good.
Nobody has it perfect. Even if they did, that's not for us to compare ourselves to. Comparing will just make us bitter and resentful. Then we will be wanting to buy a lemon bazuka to launch some dang lemons at those perfect people.
I guess the point of this post is to remind myself, that its OK to not have a perfect life, and it's OK to think on it at times. Think on it, get angry over it, but always remember to not stay in that place. If I feel stuck in that place, that's when I have a real problem.
I hope I can move past wanting to throw lemons, to making lemonade.
