There are many things good about summer, but if you are a fuckass, they could easily rot away in the palm of your hand.
I've had to work long shifts this previous Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I've been at my dad's house since I got off work on Sunday and will be returning later today (Wednesday). I have no friends here in this neighborhood. There are no places to walk. I have my computer and books. Well, Sydney, Why don't you just run along and read a book in a tree? You see, mother, I can't because I HAVE TO WATCH MY DEMENTED GRANDMA. She's a nice lady, but very crazy. I have to keep an eye on her. Thus meaning I have to stay in the house with her all day. I don't get to enjoy this wonderful weather with myself, nor my friends, since I am not near them. I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to go in the backyard and tan while she's in the house. I'm getting paler by the moment! It's heartbreaking, it truly is. I can't enjoy the good weather, or freedom of summer. Shoot, I can't even enjoy proper vision because I don't have another pair of contacts or glasses to get me through today. I feel like a lost kitten in a damp, dark box. I just want to go home!
Imagine being in that position; a damn kitten in a damn dark, damp cardboard box. All you want is to go home! Don't be sad because you have "nothing to do", so you sit inside all day on a nice summer 24 hour period. Go outside! I'm a big supporter of art making at times like this. I know, it's a little hard to be inspired while you're bored. Generally, once you force yourself to start, there's really no stopping you. Making art helps a lot. Prepare a nice meal for yourself or family! Go take pictures of plants and bugs (That's what I do..) or something better like people on the street in the middle of an awkward pose! Find something nice to wear and walk down where there are people and make new friends (or don't) There are so many options if you can just get that lazy booty off the couch. The hardest part is getting started, I promise.
Don't immediately get on the computer, that leads to hours spent doing nothing without realizing it. All you dang teenagers have smart phones (tuh) so check what you have to check on there. That way you'll get bored after you've checked all your social networkings and you'll be ready to go do something. That helps me in the morning to get up. If I find it hard to get up I get on my ex-Iphone to look at Twitter/Facebook/Instagram. I don't think I actually pay attention to whatever's on the screen, but it wakes my brain up a little bit so I'm more aware and willing to get up. I then like to get myself a hot drink because that also will help, then take yourself from there! don't wait too long to put your clothes on. Putting them on in the beginning of your day will help make you feel ready to go whenever. Play music as you get al your shit done. Music gets everyone pumped! Duh! Unless it's Bright Eyes. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love Bright Eyes. But you know that shit is so un-energizing. It makes me want to cry in a shower or go to bed soon. Do what you want, but if you're going by my experienced judgement, I wouldn't choose Bright Eyes as the best thing to wake up to in the morning. So pretty much he moral of the story is: Get up and do something with your life. The more you do in a day the happier you will be.
