cheer up, emo kid

I used to have a button that said this very phrase, pinned to my backpack freshman year of high school, laughing at the ridiculous and successful attempt society made on basing a scene on exaggerated stereotypes, teenage drama, and sensitivity. Yet, every once in awhile, I need to remind myself to breathe, not take my life so damn seriously, and tell myself when I'm acting like an emo kid. Ha.

+ I have a pretty decent job, related to what I studied, in a time where work is hard to find in our country. And I'm making enough money to pay the bills and then some.
+ I live in a town where I have a few friends around, that is also close enough for weekend trips to other cities that I like, where more friends live.
+ I have a roof over my head, and a bedroom and a space that I like.
+ I have a boyfriend that I like a lot, with a good heart who is responsive when I tell him how I'm feeling.

It's ok…
+ that my job right out of college isn't my dream job. I can always work my way up, transfer after I get enough experience. I have the rest of my life to work and be happy, there really is no rush, right?
+ that my housing situation is a bit messy. It's only temporary.
+ that my boyfriend lives far away and we don't see each other much, or always understand one another. I'm young, and life will be alright no matter the details.
