Happiness: It’s definitely NOT overrated.

So I guess in the past month I’ve realized a whole lot, and still am. People that are constantly cynical and negative really drive me nuts, and now I see how others have portrayed me for the past few years. I’ve learned life is too short to let the bad things get to you. EVERYONE has bad shit in their lives, definitely some more than others. But it’s not just you. Some people just have better ways of handling that kind of stuff than others. Some people, myself included until now, let each little bad thing get to them and totally bring them down. But why? What’s the point? We can overcome it, we just have to push ourselves and tell ourselves it WILL be okay. We really are blessed, whether you want to think so or not. We’re given so many amazing opportunities that we hardly ever take advantage of. Instead, we bitch and moan about how life sucks and we just want to die. Get over it. DO SOMETHING to change your life then. A lot of people say that happiness is overrated, but they’re wrong. What’s the point in going through each day if you’re not happy? Make the most out of the little time we’re here, you only get to do it once. We all get caught up in situations that drain us and leave us emotionally scarred and almost hopeless, but shouldn’t that just make you want it even more? Wouldn’t you want to make up for all the happiness you missed out on? Experience new things and new people everyday. Allow life to keep you on your toes. Stop getting mad over every little thing that doesn’t go your way. Stay optimistic in the most negative situations, people will eventually recognize and appreciate you for it. It shows growth, maturity, and strength. Having a positive outlook on life is the only way to live.

I think some people don’t realize that it’s not your life that sucks, it’s the situations you put yourself in that suck. If you are miserable, get yourself out of that situation that is constantly tearing you down and making you depressed. I know it can be incredibly hard to give something up that at one time was the best thing that had ever happened to you. But things change. People change…and no matter how hard we don’t want to believe it, it’s true. We’re caught up in the past, that we’re not focusing on the present and the future. Sometimes we have TOO much hope. We’re so hopeful that things will go back to the way they once were, when in fact, they won’t. We need to learn to let go, and more importantly, let go without a bitter taste in our mouths. Learn and grow from it, don’t regret it. We will all love and lose at one point or another, most of us many more times than just once. The more bad you experience, the better the good is once it finally presents itself to you. Be patient. You’re not going to be having the time of your life every minute of every day. Work through it, and live for those moments that you will treasure for the rest of your life. Sometimes it’s hard to realize what in your life is causing you so much pain… but I think once we do, we should take advantage of it, it’s probably the best thing that’s ever happened to us. Cut out everything bad in your life. Avoid negative situations. I know how hard it is to do that sometimes, and sometimes it’s really REALLY hard to figure out which people are worth it and which aren’t. Sometimes we may realize after the fact that maybe we shouldn’t have given up on a certain person, and we realize we may have made a mistake. But then you learn for next time. Also, sometimes we may realize that we should have given up a long time ago, but we had too much hope that things would change. Each time we go through either one of these situations, we learn for next time, and the time after. We NEED to experience heartache to truly appreciate real love once it hits us.

The one thing that really just gets on my nerves is immaturity. There’s nothing wrong with having a little bit of a kid in you sometimes, or acting like a complete goof. But when you don’t know how to act like an adult in certain situations, it get’s a bit ridiculous. When you don’t know when the time to be serious is, especially when you’re in your 30’s, it’s pretty pathetic. And I’m not saying we have to be serious all the time, and it’s pretty unhealthy to take every little thing in your life seriously. But some people just never grow up. Some people make it impossible to have a REAL conversation with, and it makes me think, what the hell is wrong with our world? I guess I just don’t understand how about 70% (if not more) of people even made it so far in life living the way they are. I’m embarassed to be called an American sometimes. Everyone’s so lazy and unmotivated. So many people don’t even care to make something of themselves, and then wonder why they’re 40 years old and still working at the fast food place down the street from where they grew up. YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF. You need to realize once you hit a certain age, it’s not okay to do nothing all day and party everyday. Get a real life. That’s one of the biggest problems. Too many people aren’t forced to grow up and learn to be an adult and live an adult life. Instead they do nothing with themselves and mooch off mommy and daddy. And it’s sad because it’s not even their fault, it’s just a bad parenting job. They’ve grown up spoiled and everything given to them, that they think that’s normal and how we’re supposed to live. They just don’t know any better. People need to be better informed, and need better role models. Our world is just becoming more and more stupid as time goes on (Esp. note our PRESIDENT, the person running and representing our country, wow). Stupid people having kids and bringing them up just like them, and the cycle never ends. No wonder everyone hates us, we’re spoiled, immature little whiners that sit on our asses all day doing nothing but being selfish and worsening our world.

But all in all, even with all the bad in this world, there’s always good, even if we don’t always see it. We need to learn to see it, appreciate it, and live for it. Life wouldn’t be worth it if we didn’t try. Keep your head up when you go through the bad, and recognize and appreciate the good. THERE’S ALWAYS GOOD, sometimes it’s just a matter of taking your head out of your ass and looking for it!

Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly
Count your blessings, seduce a stranger
What’s so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness…yeah

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don’t ever let life pass you by
