Optimistic

A couple days ago in class my Language Arts teacher told us all to write a short letter to our past selves (The beginning of the school year self). When started writing I immediately began to “tell my past self” about all the things that would happen because of the virus and also all the things I would miss out on. I didn’t want to lie. But after listening to some other happier letters I realized something. Lots of good things had also happened in my school year that I had chosen to overlook because of my current situation. Was that fair? When I grow up it is true that looking back on this school year I will probably not remember the fun sleepovers I had or the great time I had volunteering for my school, but does that mean that for the time being I should over look all of that?

After moving so many times I have learned to enjoy the small moments of joy. The little things like ice cream and candy at the same time or a fun time with friends. I don’t want to loose track of those small joyous moments.

How have you been looking at the current situation lately?
