This past week was really difficult for me, for multiple reasons. And the weekend didn't get much better. I figured, "wow this next week is going to be horrible already". That is exactly what I thought. Why bother trying to make the week great if you already know it's going to be another disaster? I'm not going to waste my energy on such a fruitless task.
But I'm wrong. Very very wrong. Just because I found myself in this big mess doesn't mean I can sit around and wait for it to get better. I have to get up and make changes myself. Otherwise who knows how many bad weeks I will go through before things get better.
The whole thing that reopened my eyes to all of this was a book. Be the Change. Appropriate title right? Anyway it honestly doesn't exactly address my issue. But you can apply almost anything to your own life. So that's what I did. It was talking about these people that hardly have anything, and are doing their best to live their life to the fullest. And what about me? I have all these things, but I'm sitting her sulking about because I disappointed a few people? That is ridiculous. If I care so much about what people think I am not making a good impression behaving like this.
Things will get better. The only question is whether I will have the gumption to make it better.
Beauty.

way to go! i think its really great that you see the upside of things. it was very nice of you to write this blog for me too. I like that. and it is so true, that you can't wait for something to happen cause maybe it never will, you just have to make the change yourself. i have that problem too, but you pry already know that. :)
