Because no matter what went wrong, things still go right. No matter how low your grade was on that test you studied for for 8 hours, or how expensive your car repair was, or how crusty your burn mark, or how obnoxious or rude or frustrating your family/friends/roommates are, or how dirty your room, or how boring your homework, or painful your root canal, or white your skin, or inexpressible oppressive the cold, there are so many things that lift you when you're down.
If you mix sugar and yeast into warm water, it still bubbles and grows. If you add flour and eggs, it still turns into dough. And that dough turns into bread.
Music still makes everything better. The dulls brighter and the brights more brilliant. Cat guts and horsehair, nylon and wood, twisted brass tubing - or maybe even a combination of them - still make your foot tap and your heart sing. Watching a friend's face as the music they love pours out of their fingers, vocal chords - that feeling still cannot be beat.
Pillows are still soft, and blankets are still warm.
Sleep is still refreshing.
Basically. things can go as crappy as (fill in the blank with the descriptive phrase of your choice), and at the end of the day, it's okay.
And if its not? Just wait. It make take 3 years, but it will be eventually.
i like. personally i think life's pretty crappy but it helps to remember the happy things
