Everything in the world right now feels uncertain. It hasn’t made life easy. Even before these moments, life was not easy. A lot of us have used this free time to try and become a better person in ourselves.

When we want to make a change in our lives, people automatically think it should be a significant change, but that isn’t always the way for everyone.

What It's Like Being Young With Crohn's Disease

About a year ago, I was coming out of surgery for my Crohn’s disease. At 21, I had made the difficult but necessary decision to remove my entire colon and live with a permanent ostomy. I was hopeful, prepared for battle and so well-supported. Truly, I handled that surgery about as well as possible. I don’t think I cried more than once. My main role, in fact, felt like making sure everyone around me was comfortable with the idea of this surgery. Even as a young kid, I was always complimented on “how well you handle your illness!” and “ You seem so on top of things!” After all, I am a senior college student with 323,987 things to do, a color-coded planner, huge dreams, and a go-getter attitude to take on the world. Most would think I do indeed have my life together. Well, guess what? Sometimes having it all together is overrated. Sometimes neglecting your emotions for the comfort of others isn’t the right thing to do. Sometimes you need to feel without apology.

Smile! (But Only If You Mean It)

Recall for a moment the last time you interacted with your boss. How did this conversation feel to you? Chances are that you experienced a sense of mental and emotional toil from controlling what you were saying and maybe more importantly, what you weren’t saying.The sociologist Arlie Hochschild coined the term ‘emotional labor’ to describe the behavior of portraying or suppressing certain emotions in order to fulfill the emotional requirements of one’s profession.1 Think of the restaurant server who puts on a smile when taking a customer’s order even though she is racked with chronic pain.
