I Have Something to Say

isn't it funny and sad how when we're young, everything seems so big and wonderful, and little by little it chips away at that sense of bewilderment? and for many it started at an early age, being called weird or being told that you aren't well liked... it sort of knocks the wind out of your sails, but you get over it, and as time goes on you become more resilient to it... expectations gradually become non existent, but yet you persist, in this weird jaded state. but as jaded and cynical as you become, you still hold a sliver of hope... in that as bad as it currently is, something good has to be out there. many of us try to deny ourselves of this, instead opting for an apathetic approach to life, and an incredibly nihilistic view of the world.which is somewhat understandable, i mean why remain optimistic when seemingly nothing good ever happens to you.
but people tend to overlook the good things that do happen... finding a quarter on the sidewalk, getting an extra nugget with your order, someone complimenting your hair or outfit, a smile from a stranger.
don't let all the negativity you've faced or endured define who you are.
keep your chin up, and all that shit...

That's right, keep your head up and teach yourself to see the beauty in the little things.

true, but for many it's really difficult to see beyond the shell of gloom and despair they've built around themselves. sometimes all it takes is a couple of helping hands to pull them out

I agree. I've been there myself. It took me honestky walking taller and adjusting my thinking. Trying to see the world through different lenses. My friends helped get me out of the house, but it took me to find the good in the everyday things. And in finding a positive purpose.

I love this post. Whatever it takes to help people. Life is too short to only see the negative.

Apparently my heart is malfunctioning and refuses to allow clickage...so...

I never stopped noticing and loving the small surprises in life.

happy to hear that there are people out there who can still find joy in the little things *high five*
