Have you ever just taken a second to look in that direction rather than the depressing, swampy, disgusting side of life that people tend to look at so often that it sickens me?
That's what I have been trying to do lately. It's not always easy, but it definitely feels better sometimes.

That's been a lot easier now that summer's here. haha I tend to be one of those annoying negative people. I think it's because I let myself get stressed out wayy too easily. Especially when it comes to school. So, when I get stressed out, everything looks negative to me. Bleh. But like you said, I too have been trying really hard to be more positive.

I try sometimes but it definitely is not easy to keep an upbeat spirit. Not for me anyway. You know how they say that it is easier to smile than frown because it takes less muscles to smile? Well, I think that's crap.

Haha I hear ya' VanillaOrchids. Life is just so stressful and crazy it's hard not to let it get to you. And when it does get to you, you tend to have a negative outlook on most things. It's sad really, but that's that way it is a lot of the time.

Well, I'm actually positive that frowning is easier because your muscles go down towards the earth, where as with smiling you're kind of fighting gravity. Still, there is a dark tunnel that always has a bright light at the end. And VO, I thought I said to be happy. xP

I try to be happy. The only thing that really gets to me anymore, is school and dealing with stuff like that. It's been pretty hard lately, especially because my boyfriend is going to college and I'm still in school and I have a lot to deal with, especially now.
But I just try to think that it's only a couple years until school is over, and if I can get through that, then I can get through this... and that... I go by everything in sections. I don't try to worry about stuff that's gonna happen 2 years from now, I just go with it and try to stay prepapred without being too worried haha. =)
