Content

Content- satisfied with what one is or has; not wanting more or anything else (source: dictionary.com)

So that is what feeling content is like. However, you can only feel that way for so long. Once you feel like everything is perfect, you start becoming more self-conscious of what could screw it all up. Take me, for example; once things go great and I finally feel content with the way things are going, something small happens that ruins it. Usually it wouldn't bother me, but that's when you over-think the smallest occurrences. Thanks to a domino effect, your feeling content goes away.

Honestly, though, who can really say their life is 100% OK? This is when we have to re-think our definition of 'content.' There may be bad things still happening, but everything else is still going good. So good, in fact, we don't want to let the small things get to us. Sure, we all have our problems. Really, though, we can at least try to overlook the small things and realize how precious life is.

If you think things are going bad, look at how worse things are. I know, that sounds like cliche bologna, but hear me out: I was walking home after a kind of bad day from school and passed an adult. It hit me: I'm only in high school. None of this will matter in the long run. Sure, it makes me more anxious to graduate, but at least I know that none of my problems will last forever. Don't ever say "If worse comes to worse." Rather, think "If best comes to best."

OK, enough cliches.
