Truth is... I'm cynical and bitter as heck ... also possibly selfish. Seriously, I'm a piece of cr@p

The way I've been combating my cynicism is to try and force myself to notice and mention something positive about others... even if I just say it to myself.

Like... I buy something from the store and walk out of the store when I'm done,
I say to myself: wow that checkout chick was really polite

or

when I'm still in the store, I'll make a comment about her nails being really pretty (and I'm not lying, they were pretty, I just seen it because I forced myself to look for something)

and then I see their facial expressions light up and they all kawaii...

then when I go home I think to myself... maybe people aren't so bad, maybe they just cynical too because y'know... life sucks... but then someone says something nice and they feel good?
And then I feel good because they seem to feel good

yeah, break that bitter cycle, betch 👌
