Get Over It

A lot of people would say I'm an optimistic, bubbly person who is always happy. Maybe that's a fair assumption, maybe not. But I will admit that I'm a lot more positive than I was four or five years ago. I think that's because I've stopped caring so much. Let me explain...

I'll admit, life has been fairly good to me - I don't live on the streets, there is always food on the table for dinner, I've surrounded myself with good people. But life always comes with disappointments, no matter who you are. I've been bullied, I've put my trust in people that ended up screwing me over in the long run, etc.

It's easy to be bitter about something. And it's easy to look at someone and instantly point out everything you don't like about that person. Hating someone is easy, but moving on takes guts. And you'll feel a lot better about yourself if you're less stressed out about stuff you don't like and you focus on things you actually like.

Any problem I've had in the past that I felt like would never go away ended up going away. Look at anything you're faced with now. It's probably not going to matter five, ten, fifteen years from now. It isn't healthy to live in the past. That's why I live in the moment. I don't stress out about every little problem and about every little thing I don't like. There's a lot I can be angry and bitter about, but I'd rather move on and stop caring. It keeps me happy and helps me sleep at night. I can look at myself in the mirror and tell myself that I like the way I turned out. I couldn't do that six years ago.
