| Taking a Step back from the Negative. |
|
Who wants to see if I can go a whole blog without swearing?
So that was my first thought, while writing this blog in my mind. As I'm sure most of you are aware of I am a baby blogger, I just started last month, and all of my blogs have to do with my life and what's going on it. Like a prolonged facebook status. 'Cept 99% of the time everything is negative, its funny how when you speak to people you tend to tell them about the negative more than the positive--and I'm not talking like big happy events like weddings or getting accepted into a college. But everyday normal life.
One person, the same morning. On their way to work they stop to get coffee, someone smiles, holds the door open for them and tells them to have a good day. Now they have their coffee and are on their way to the workplace and cuts them off, making them late. Which one, honestly, do you think they're going to tell people about? Maybe because people find the negative more interesting, or it stimulates more conversation than the positive does; but that's kind of sad to think about isn't it? And when you do it too much you are labelled as a complainer; even if it is justifiable complaining.
I've blogged so many not-so-happy moments in my life that it actually began to annoy myself. So here is a positive blog.
I am a very lucky person.
How so, you ask?
.
- I am a smart girl with alot going for me, regardless of past mistakes--there is nothing holding me back but me.
- I have great friends, that support me through the hard times and who have my back through everything.
- I have Human Rights that no one can take away. I can say what I want, write what I want, read what I want, go where I want, do what I want, think what I want, and be who I want. And no one can take that away from me. They can't take who I am away from me.
- I am healthy, physically, mentally and emotionally.
- I have people I can trust, even though many have turned their back on me, I have put my full faith, and complete trust into one person's hand--and while I know she's human and will fail me, hopefully unintentionally, it's a great feeling to know there is one person who cares, and who I know I can turn to. I look up to her, and she is my hero. I don't know what I would do without her.
- I have a home.
- I have clothes
- I have food
- I have opportunities to better myself, to get a higher education and make something out of myself.
- I have teachers who geniunely care and share there lifes and emotions with us. Who treat us with respect, and talk to us like they would anyone else.
- I am allowed to make my own rules.
- I'm alive.
- I have loved and been loved. I have had been able to experience the full range of emotions.
- I have met alot of amazing people in my life and done some pretty cool stuff.
- I have had the opportunity to have my heartbroken, and to have bad experiences, I was not sheltered as a little kid.
- More importantly than all this, I have the chance to change someone else's life for the better, and I'm going to take that chance. Everyday of my life.
I am thankful for what I have, I realize people have it alot worse off, they are beaten, abused, raped, put down, starved, blackmailed, homeless, 9/11 survivors, etc........
And we all just got to remember that no matter what may go down in life there is always someone worse off than you. ALWAYS. And we have to be grateful that we are not them. Appreciate the little things in life because they can be gone within a second, and be thankful for everything good or bad, because you don't know what it's going to lead to in the end.
Smile.
Cause we all have alot to be thankful for.
Like the fact that I went this WHOLE blog without cussing once!
