There's something I've learned along the way...

    You know, everyone has their story. Everyone has something locked deep down inside or not depending on how open they are with their emotions. But we've all gone through hard times or some things that have effected us in seemingly negative ways along the path of our lives. Some people choose -for lack of a better word- to wallow in what has happened and it burdens them for the rest of their days, or at least, a completely unnecessary amount of time. Some scars never heal.

    Now that we've got a little bitter truth under our belts, time for the progression, the next ingredient if you will. People tend to say to me when I'm down or going through tough times, "Life is hard.", a bold but true statement to make I'll admit, now I reply "Compared to what?". It dawned on me that you can't compare life to anything because you haven't experienced anything other than life itself. So my point here is, don't. Don't look for something to compare your life to, just live it. People wish their lives away wanting to be someone or something else, before they know it, they're 6 feet under wishing that they could have that life back.

    Things are hard to get over right away, I'm not saying they're going to disappear as soon as you want them to. You can't rely solely on other things to make you happy. A lot of your own happiness is made up by you, by your mentality. If you choose to be happy and you want to be happy you will be. Otherwise you can choose to be sad and you will be. If you think negatively, the others around you will fell that aura. Human emotion is very powerful. You may think I'm making it sound easy, when it isn't, but I'm speaking from experience. A year ago I was close to falling off the edge in more than one sense of the metaphor. Now, I'm one of the happiest, most cheerful people you'll meet. It takes a lot to put me down for the count or for me to dislike someone or something whereas it would have been easy a year ago.

    I might sound like a total clichée, but everyone is strong enough and able enough to be happy. No matter how hard your life is, there's always a possibility for happiness if you can believe that it's there for you, if you can suck it up and reach for it, if you're willing to put yourself out there. Anything is worth being happy, because when it comes right down to it, that's what we live for. To be happy.
     
    Cool, I really like this blog entry.. it was really deep <3
     
    THANK YOU FOR THIS. IT MAKES ME REALLY. REALLY. REALLY. HAPPY.

    JUST BE HAPPY PEOPLE. IT CAN BE PRETTY DAMN WORSE.
     
    It's a shame I'm apathetic by heart, or this would be really moving.

    Not being mean or anything, but emotion talks....eventually, after so much pain to the heart, just does nothing. It's something that I've learned to deal with, something that I've tried to deal with, and something I've failed to deal with.

    Well, there's my 2 cents.

    This "dont worry be happy" stuff only obscures your problems, which grow bigger over time. Putting a fake smile on your face for someone is eventually going to wear off. Surrounding yourself with negativity is, of course, going to make you negative. Surrounding yourself with positive after being exposed to the negative would only slightly alter that. Thing is, I've been exposed to negativity for prolonged periods of time to be hardly moved by anything positive.

    My emotions are weird and complex and whatever.
     
    Of course not Zetty. This blog entry was sparked by my observations and with no alternate motive. These are just the life lessons I'm happy I learned and something that I think about every day in order to keep on the right track. So there's nothing between the lines.
     
    Usually when people say they have no alternative motive, they really do. But I'm sure that's best to be told for another blog entry :P
     
    I agree with that entry all the way. No matter how awesome your life is, if you don't put effort into keeping a happy mentality, or looking at the brighter side of things, you'll end up being unhappy. :/ That's one of the things I've figured, anyway. If you just tell yourself to be happy, and try to look at all the good things, no matter how small, it does help.

    & if it doesn't, there always anti-depressant meds to help you along. (b ' ')b -shot-
     
    Well good thing I'm not your usual people then.
     
    Heh. That was indeed deep and wise.

    Much of life IS how you see it to be, not how bad you've had it. I think you hit the nail on the head. Part of what makes a person who they are is the scars they bear from the bad times in their life. Still, you're quite right. Just because someone has an emotional scar, doesn't mean they have to bear it with shame. I think sometimes, bearing you scars with pride is ten times better than wallowing in the shame that comes from being hurt in some way. Sometimes it's improbable to make it through a traumatic experience without something changing within yourself, but a positive outlook can always make lemonade when life gives you lemons. :3

    Obscures your problems or puts them into perspective? ;D
    If you surround yourself with positive things and POSITIVE THOUGHTS, you'll end up being a positive person. It's not an overnight thing, but if you drive out those bad emotions, you'll feel a lot better.

    The fact you see this in a negative view shows you have a lot to work on Waffle!
     
    I try to take everything in a positive manner. Dero's an optimistic dude, yeah. xD;

    And wow, that's some philosophical stuff, Gav. A nice entry. :]
     
    i totally agree with u abnegation i may still be young not that i know what age u are, but i kinda understand what ya mean even though in my case they arent really scars but more downsides in my life but im trying to make it bttr so im tryin to live the way u state here and it helps all of the time stayin positive and thinking in a good way it really helps:) so respect for u man;)
