In the last week I was introduced to a new song. And I fell hard and fast. Because it is my new swan song. I just love music that is not only catchy, but describes exactly what I feel and can't express it in a proper or humanly acceptable way.

Let me introduce you to the band Oh Honey and the song "Be Okay". Have a listen.

1. Do you not feel at least a little happier?
2. You bobbed your head at least once. I just know it.

I'm always on the look out for great new discoveries like this. Things that make me happy and remind me WHY I'm happy.

Now, I'll be the first to admit it......I'm a dreamer. I can't help it. I dream about what my future will be like. I dream about my future kids. I dream about my lovely decorated living room. I dream about kissing Chris Pine. Wait what? *cough* Never. I would never do that.....

But, like the song says, "I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?"

I think it's easy to get caught dreaming. It's not a bad thing. We all have hopes and desires, things that we think would be wonderful. Like how I think women's legs should never grow hair. That would be fantastic. #eternalsmoothness 

But seriously. There are things right here and right now that are absolutely wonderful and happy. And instead of thinking of things that you don't have now and can't obtain, think of things you CAN do. It could be as simple as buying those Dove Peanut Butter chocolates or setting a goal for yourself that you want to accomplish. Because honey, everything is okay. 
The hardest part with that is acceptance. That's the key. Accepting the challenges and situations before you. Deal with them one at a time. Stick that chin up and push through it. They aren't going to get easier, let alone taken care of, if you just let the problems sit there and pile up. Kinda like homework.......#justdoit #likenike 

That being said, I also believe it's okay to feel the pressure and weight of those things that come upon us. We can't all be superman. It's okay to have those hard days. Take some time for yourself. REAL time. Yeah, you go and watch Netflix for 6 hours in your PJ's. Eat what you want. Hang with the bros. Watch Sports Center all day and forget that homework that's due monday (okay.....maybe you shouldn't do that....but...meh..#yolo). It's just the process of getting yourself up after you've given yourself time to, for lack of a better word, "grieve", that needs to happen. 

Nothing really ever goes exactly as we plan. But we'll be okay.
