"A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step"

Okay, so lately I've been thinking (please no comments on how shocking this fact may be)....
Life sucks. Not to be my typical cynical Debbie Downer self, but we all know this to be a simple truth. No matter where you go, what you do, everyone will always reach a point where nothing seems to be going right.

Examples of said times:
1. Your dog dies.
2. You lock yourself out of your building for the millionth time with no cell phone or vehicle, and there's no one around to let you in.
3. You're 4 points off from passing one of the most important tests of your academic career.
4. Your computer crashes, which is basically your entire life in a beautiful aluminum casing.
5. Your car breaks down and while trying to fix said car, you get hit by some jerk on his cell phone.

THIS IS YOU. F YOUR LIFE.

6. #1-5 including a giant evil dragon that breaks out of the 5th dimension to bite off your leg and leave you to be a sketchy amputee stripper like Lindsay Lohan in I Know Who Killed Me.
7. PS It's raining.

FML.com rolled in evil breadcrumbs and fried in depression right?

!WRONG!

No worries, I once thought the same thing. Being one of the most pessimistic and depressing people in the greater Salt Lake area, I am here to tell you that there is hope. I'm determined to prove that anyone reading this can find at least one thing to do every day that makes their life considerably joyous. I'm shooting for a thousand things, but knowing me I'll be lucky if I get like.... 5. 
Regardless of my epic failing, let's begin! Let the first of many steps be taken friends! 

DAY #1

Boredom overcame me today. It was nearly crippling. Instead of giving into my desire to sleep, I decided to be productive with my time

So guess who drew Charmander? THIS GIRL. LIKE A BOSS! And thus Day #1 consists of drawing Pokemon. As a large part of my childhood, it makes me smile to know that I'm able to draw my favorite character of all time. Okay, well Charizard is my favorite Pokemon, which is Charmander's evolved form. Okay, shiz, that's a lie too. My favorite was Cyndaquil. But Charmander definitely comes in at an easily earned third place. No joke, this is the greatest accomplishment of my day. As pathetic as this sounds, I haven't been able to take pride in anything I've done for the past semester and a half. Life has been bleak and meaningless, as if there's nothing worth living for. So if I have to draw every single Pokemon in my sadly obsolete Pokedex to find happiness, I will. Who knows what else is to come? Cliff Diving? Paintballing? Baby throwing? Oh wait. That last one might be illegal  -___-.
