Because it isn't until you start making things easier that life gets easier. It sounds redundant but things only get easier when you let them be easy. Things get hard and life screws you over almost every chance it gets but if we learn to let the smaller things roll of our backs then things get easier. Getting upset over the big things is appropriate of course and even crying over an accumulation of small things is okay but we just have to accept them for what they are. Being able to look at it and say "wow I had a shit day and nothing went right but hell that's life" is the most important skill we will ever learn. Don't compare yourself to the pictures you see on snapchat or instagram. Those pictures are so posed and and show everyone's best moments but they aren't real. It is easy to look at them and pity yourself because they have a better body or a better vacation but there is so much more to it. My sister, the most beautiful young woman I know, posts these pictures on facebook of her with her sorority and friends and I am always jealous but then I get calls in the middle of the night about how she drank too much and is lost in the city and got in a big fight with her boyfriend baout how they are both alcoholics and I realize that even those girls that look like they have everything, they just don't. So don't compare your life to a poster or picture perfect moment. Don't compare yourself to anyone or anything because it will never end well. Just accept the fact that your life is your own and you got to make it worth while because it is the only shot you will ever have.
So to answer your question, things get easier when you accept your life for exactly what it is; imperfect, screwey, messy, wonderful, and full of surprises, beautiful views and terrible disasters. Life gets better when you just start living! Let things go and just start walking towards whatever the hell you want. Do something you find meaningful and just go for it. Take what you got and make it into something special. Sincerely a -Survivor
