I Am Childlike
No matter how bad life gets, I still can look at things with joy like a little child gleefully shrieking with laughter. I take pleasure in the smallest and simplest things. This is a huge blessing!

@Mguinm That is indeed worth applauding. I can't say the same even though my life has been more depressing and painful. I do try my best to look at the best in life but like clockwork, something comes and pushes me down the cliff.
I end up not being able to trust and see any positivity in life. I do try but I've given up at this point.
Anyways sorry for the rant. Keep up with the good stuff. Maybe someday I'll overcome it.

@Beatbox34 You are not alone. I'm only human and times it's tough for me but then I seem to snap out of it quicker than most. That's not saying I might not return to that horrible place in the future. For the most part I've always been happy. I was a happy baby as well. I think this has helped tremendously because anyone who has been through just a fraction of my life would crumble.

@Mguinm I used to have the patience to deal with it before. I had a reason to find happiness but ever since I got dumped, the world seemed more darker than I thought and to make it worse I realized how people were sly. This made me more depressed and I couldn't look for happiness anymore. I haven't been the same since that incident to be honest. I realized a lot and that only brought me more down.
@Mguinm Amen to that!! We've been through some tough times and I guess that's why we appreciate life so much and enjoy the good so much in it. It is a wonderful outlook to have on life and I'm thrilled that you feel that way, as well. That doesn't mean that we have our head in the clouds 24/7. It just means that when things hit us hard, we don't let them get us down, no matter what. We know tough times don't last and I believe we appreciate the lessons as they make us a better person. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful testimony. You're a very lovely person And I am honored to know you.

@LadyGrace Well said Grace! I'm very honored to know you as well. We certainly have been through some tough times and God helps us through with strength, humor, persistence to go on. I think people that suffer the most don't have anyone to lean on, depend on. If they only would depend on Jesus I know they could get through it much faster.
