It’s not always easy but I try to stay positive.
To me, staying positive used to mean putting on a happy face. Don’t let the world know how miserable or sad I truly am. Don’t let people see your tears. Today, staying positive means to try to see the best in things. To never allow myself to let what happened or what’s going on keep me down. How? That’s a very good question. Crazy enough, I don’t think about it too much. At least, I try not to think about it too much. I want to be happy, so in order for me to feel happiness I have to let go of all the negative thoughts. That is probably the hardest part of it all. It is a lot easier to find the negative things instead of the positive things. So without thinking about it we automatically look at all the bad things. A couple of weeks ago someone very close to me called me up in tears. Telling me she wanted to move out. That she felt like a prisoner. What concerned me was that she’s young and I have been through a very similar situation. I cried after hanging up the phone because I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to help her but I know I had nothing. I wasn’t in a position to help her. There it is: I wasn’t in a position to help her. In any way. No matter how hard I would try, I couldn’t help her and I would probably just put myself in a difficult situation. The only thing I could do now, was be there for her and listen. It turns out that it meant more to her to have someone to talk to about it who understood than someone who would pick a fight for her. Even though it hurt me to not be able to do something to change her situation, I was glad I was able to be there for her. That thought helped me to stay positive so I could help her stay positive through it all If I let things get to me I end up getting depressed and I know how hard it is to get over that so I want to brush things off before they get to me. It takes a lot of practice. It won’t be easy from the second you try it. But keep trying. Staying positive has so many effects on your life. You know what, it can’t hurt to try to be more positive.
