we all know this person and nobody likes them

"positive things happen to positive people" -Sarah Beeny

You just have to love the person who walks down the hallway complaining about everything from a challenging homework assignment, to his teachers haircut. I don't know how somebody could fill so much of their spare time just thinking of everything wrong with the world but they pull it off. It puts such a downer on everybody else's attitude. Like if i just got a new car I'm not going to want to listen about how the corner of their math book is bent. Yes, it make really be a bummer, but it honestly doesn't matter unless they're trying to make small talk.

While I can go on and criticize them all I want I'll be the first to admit that I have stepped into this role on occasion, and so has everybody else. When I have that really stressful day I just want to vent to everybody around me; however, the trick is to stretch yourself (by getting over it) and stay positive. Things will look up, and tomorrow nobody will remeber what was so bad in the first place. Why waste time on it now when forgetting about it will make everybody's life so much better? =]

"stretch yourself" i think these words mean more to us than people would think. I can't help but thinking about our stretched out faded rubber bands, and of course our trip. Its nice to know that you think about it too. But when i think stretch myself, i think the most of poverty simulation, and how much we had to "stretch", i wish we could relive it. but hearing those words, sends me to an automatic flashback.
thanks for the reminder, you are so good at that. :)

I must agree with your blog. I love this subjest. I find myself sometimes slipping toward the side of where i complain but try to stop knowing that others probably dont care... Sometimes i would just like to let people know that just because they woke up 20 min late and didnt have time to get ready isnt that big of a deal... honestly. I just wish people would stop and think before they speak.
Thanks for writing about this :D I liked hearing your point of view.

Mucho Love-

I know exactly what you're talking about. Some people are so depressing! Just being around them makes you all sad, too. Then if you having a really good day, or maybe even a really bad day, you don;t want to have to listen to someone talking about breaking their nail, or something like that. But I will agree that I to have acted jsut like that.
