Ohhhhh boy.... Sometimes life gets pretty tough. I'm not saying that I really have it that bad, because I don't, all I am saying is that sometimes it feels like I have been dealt too much. I may not be starving or homeless, but I'm still struggling. It's really easy to get discouraged when people disappoint you or when they say they understand but their actions speak otherwise. I guess that's why they say don't depend on other people for your happiness... and I don't DEPEND on others for my happiness... but I would be lying if I said that the way others treat me doesn't effect the mood I'm in. In some situations a person doesn't even have to say anything... However, someone said something to me recently that really hurt me, but the funny thing was that this person claimed to be trying to protect my feelings. I know that I am not the only one in the world who has been hurt by another's words.
I think we all, myself included, could benefit from seeing the good in others and not so much their imperfections. Most people are trying to improve themselves, and nobody's perfect. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES!!! Sure I miss my curfew too much, have a messy room, and can get a bad attitude sometimes... I know what my faults are... I don't need anyone telling me what they think I'm doing wrong in my life. We shouldn't tear others down by telling them what they are doing wrong, but try to build them up by encouraging them to continue to persue their positive qualities. When you tell someone their good qualities then they start to see those things in theirself... but when all I hear is that I am doing everything wrong, then I don't feel like anything I do is right.
There are kind of a lot of ideas in this one post, but I just need to get some feelings out.
