Don't Be A Debbie Downer

I am a rather positive person. I love seeing the good in every situation. Sometimes that is not always easy. Now I'm not saying I am never negative about something. There are always those moments in life that really get you down. No matter how happy a person can be, there is always a trigger that sends them over the edge. I am kind of like that when I get angry. Usually, the initial problem doesn't set me off. I try to calm down and think if it's really worth getting upset about. It's what we call choosing our battles. But eventually after a lot of frustration has built up, I tend to blow up even if it's something little. I hate conflict so that's the reason I never want to bring up every little thing that bothers me. I'll get over it. Then there are those people who are the complete opposite of me. I have a friend who is like this and it's driving me crazy. She has to be the most negative person I know. She will find every single bad thing in a certain situation and complain about it. I'll usually go the other way and suggest "Oh but here's the good part about it". But not like that helps any. I've never met anyone who refuses to have or want positivity in their life. I don't know how people live that way. I love being able to hope for something good to come along or have faith that something good is going to happen and everything happens for a reason. This friend of mine has really got me going. Her negativity also doesn't help the fact that she has zero self esteem. It's so hard to compliment her or say something nice and hopeful because she will just shoot it down. When you have that much negativity there is no room for love. Your self esteem is zip, according to you nothing ever good is going to happen, and instead of trying to do something about it you sit there and complain. Hello, people! Ever heard of "Actions speak louder than words"? If you don't like it, do something about it. It's really not that difficult to figure out. More people in this world need to have faith in themselves and actually love themselves. It's not always going to be easy being happy with yourself. You may not like the way you look at times or you may regret something you did but you have to have hope that something good is coming your way. Our lives are never completely filled with dread. Appreciate the good, so when the bad comes we have something to look forward to. Life sucks and then you die. Lighten up, be positive, and always keep moving forward.

Starting Something New

I'm hoping this blog will get me back to doing something I love; writing. I used to want to be a writer when i was growing up and technically I'm still growing up so I've got plenty of time to figure all this out. Basically, on this blog I plan on writing about everything and anything. Whatever pops into my head I plan on writing, so it might sound like a little bit of nonsense which is pretty much what my life consist of. I don't really have a lot of time to be writing a blog because of all the homework I should be doing (like right now) but I think this will be a nice stress reliever for me. The stress reliever part might just be me complaining about my current life situation. Sometimes you just have to vent though. And sometimes you just need to talk about all those crazy ideas that come to mind. Certain people I can't really confide in because I can already tell they think I'm crazy by their judgemental eyes, so blogging is the perfect place to get all that out. It will make me feel better thinking people are actually listening to me without knowing or caring if they really are. This is my time to get away.
