a lot of things have been going on lately. a lot of things we can’t put our full attention to, even if we wanted to. a lot of these things are unpreventable. a lot of them are hard to avoid. a lot of them are simply just better off left alone.

i feel like we put too much effort and thought into things that are almost useless. things we wish we could change but can’t. things that shouldn’t matter to us. things we shouldn’t even consider because we have no control over, whatsoever.

there’s just a lot going on but i’ve learned to not complain about certain things because a lot of them are out of my control. there’s a lot i wish i can change but it’s almost impossible to, considering the circumstances i’m in. also considering the fact that some things will never change and that’s just something i need to adapt to. we all do. i’m grateful for what i have. but i wanted to write about thinking over “a lot of things” because it’s something i often find myself doing over and over again. i waste too much energy on things i shouldn’t be wasting my time on and it’s affecting every part of my life. i know i’m not alone on this. we all do this whether we realize it or not. we often wish things could be different and try to imagine what life would be like if this had happened or if this hadn’t happened etc. but that’s a negative way of thinking. it only makes things harder by making you want to do something to change your way of life, even if the odds seem impossible to achieve.

anyways, i think we all need to understand that some things are not meant to be. and thinking about them every so often will not make anything better. thinking of ways to change certain things in life will never do us any good and will only cause pain and regret. so let’s avoid that. let’s look forward to better things and try to adapt to the circumstances we’re given. because who knows how much worse it could have been.
