The world wouldn’t function without it.
Lately, I’ve failed to realize all the good things in life. My life in particular. After multiple conversations with old friends wanting to know how I’m doing nowadays, I’ve come to realize that my life isn’t so bad after all. In fact, it’s pretty darn great. I have a lot of things going for me, a lot of amazing people in my life, lots of opportunities and experiences awaiting, and lots to look forward to. I’ve been so immersed in my own melancholy thoughts that I’ve been disregarding all the good positive important stuff. Lesson learned? It’s really easy to let misery consume you. It takes a lot more energy and effort to maintain contentment. Now that I’ve recovered from that brief phase, I hope to go no where but up from here.
Hence my new goal: think less, live more. (Within the boundaries of not being reckless of course.) I figure why be miserable when you can be happy?
I’ll be happy again. I know I will.
Note to self.
