Airing of Grievances.

Did I even spell that right? Too lazy to google it. But you get the idea.

Couple negative things of note that I need to get out.

1) a certain someone complained on their certain blog about a couple certain someones (which I'm sure one was me) about a certain subject. Being too happy and not being 'real'. Guess what. I am happy and that's as real as it gets. 

I am blessed beyond belief and I have a little secret to why I'm so happy but first let me set something straight. I agree, those ultra optimist people who have the high squeaky voices and a huge smile plastered on their face at all times (I'm quite certain they sleep with a smile too) are ANNOYING. I agree that it doesn't feel relatable or real to me either. Life is supposed to be hard. But there isn't a stumbling block that you can't overcome because the person that put that stumbling block in your way did so because He knew you could handle it. 

"There are no coincidences with an omniscient being"

I choose to be happy. I wasn't always like this. Back in the awful, awkward jr. high days I was not a happy camper. I hated school, I hated how I wasn't as pretty as other girls, and I wasn't a big fan of my parents at the time either. The world was the worst at that point in my life haha it sounds funny now. But truth is that I was on the verge of being a chronically depressed person. Until one day I had a life changing thought/feeling.

Every second that passes will never be back again. Literally the second I just spent typing this sentence (yes, I'm that fast. Don't worry about it) is gone. So I had the thought "I really don't want to spend all these hours feeling down, sad, mad, etc. I want to DO something with my life and make the most of every one of those seconds"

News flash: "YOLO" is the biggest scam. That's way too much pressure.

Just live. With the ups and downs, the heartache and the success. 

Another secret: It's ok to cry and feel something when things go wrong whether it be a bad grade, a breakup, a death. It's ok to be sad. But in all things moderation. Keeping the bigger picture or eternal perspective has changed my life and the little things really don't get to me as much.

OK. Whew. If your still reading onto #2.

2) Another scam: I have realized in the past year that adults aren't who I thought they were.

When I was growing up, adults had it together. Jobs, cars, spouses, money, and they always had the answer and advice.

Now?

Ya, right. 

I've found more 40+ people who are more immature than I thought was possible for a full-grown human being. It's definitely a challenge having to deal with these certain people on a daily basis. 

On an optimist note: learning to deal with this type of a person will definitely increase my patience. That's if I don't blow up and disregard the 'respect for my elders' thing my parents taught me before patience has a chance.

I can do it, I can do it...

Ok. That's all...for now. I feel better.

2 days until a much needed weekend away!
