The future , its seems just so ....Distant . Sometimes I find myself stuck a rut . This rut can be a black pit of despair with no hope of ever getting out .
As a college student, this dark rut happens to me multiple times during the year . It starts with just a small feeling , that "why am I?" thought, then it grows into a festering sore of self doubt and pity. Ultimately, this over-stimulation of feeling will stress you out and can cause you to be reluctant to better yourself.
BUT WAIT !!!!!!! THERE IS HOPE , YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS ! You feeling like this is okay, because there is something you can do about it. Trust me, I have been in this place of insanity and this is how I keep from losing my mind .
Here's something to try , instead of wallowing in self pity-doubt , place your self in a situation where you can show off what your good at .
For example , I am a singer and I am studying classical voice. However, my heart belongs to Musical Theatre ! I love musicals and I have a vast knowledge of them. Being in shows and singing the songs from musicals truly makes me happy . I never realized that it was okay to pursue something that made me that happy , until this weekend . I got the chance to take a 2 hour Broadway belt lesson and well ..... not to brag ... I killed it !
And in that teacher was impressed ! He loved my voice and gave me tricks to be better . That moment I crawled out of the not good enough pit and began to believe that maybe I could do it . If I work hard and practice that I could make it in something I love with all my heart .
Friends , you have to learn how to believe in yourselves . In believing that you are good at something , that thing becomes an anchor you can hold on to . It will keep you sane and keep out of that dark place . So go find something that lights a fire under you butt and find that Purpose ! I believe in you, and remember to believe in yourself !
Who knows you may be a star , or just a really good math teacher :)

So I am sure you have heard the song "Royals" by Lorde. If not, you have obviously been living under a rock like a deaf snail. So Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Conner has some killer vocal chords, right? But what are we so melodically singing about, and speaking into our lives, that we'll never be "royal"?
Now the song is ultimately singing about the day in and day out of a teenagers life. She relates by singing about her humble beginnings. But the simple life that she sings of seems empty, and uninspiring.
So, go ahead and be royal if you want to... because you already are! Don't just live a complacent life, going through the motions, wishing for the world to change. Don't just search for your next self-fulfilling buzz. If you want to make something of yourself, if you want to make a difference in this world, if you want to live like royalty in this world, just do it. Do the work it takes to be amazing.
