Putting Life in Perspective

If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you have probably seen the trend where it’s a slideshow of two photos.

The words from the first slide to the second are the same, yet they portray two different meanings when you put them into perspective. This is one of my favorite trends so far because you can implement this mindset into your daily life. 

I am graduating this year and it’s sad to think about leaving my hometown. I grew up here — My classmates and community have watched me navigate the ups & downs of my childhood.

Moving away to college is like putting this entire phase of my life behind me and continuing without it. I’m going to begin a new stage of my life with a completely clean slate. 

But, I’m going to begin a new stage of my life with a clean slate. 

I am going to love so many more people that I haven’t even met yet, and I’m going to make some of my favorite memories with them. I have a chance to make new friendships and to start over.

There’s value in having a whole lot of life ahead of me, and I can’t wait to see which direction it takes me. 

Life is not easy and it often isn’t fair – there’s a whole future ahead of us filled with both rain and sunshine.

However, if you ever start to feel anxious about an upcoming event: take a deep breath and put it into perspective.

It could end up being the best moment of your life.
