“About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t like you at all.”
It's been a while since I've posted something of meaning to me, so here it goes:
I've always struggled with happiness. I've never been a happy person, its always been a struggle to stay afloat mentally, and keep a positive attitude.
I've always seen myself as a realist, never looking at the glass half empty, or half full. It's just a glass with water in it.
Happiness is something that can't be attained though objects, people, or places. It's something that you, have to create on your own.
I don't know how long I've had PTSD but honestly, I'm pretty sure that it has been for a while, before I was diagnosed with it. This is a hard subject for me to talk about, due to the fact that I am a private person.
Happiness is created by memories, moments, that you share with a person, place, an animal, or something of value to you. It is the connection that makes it special. People get caught up in looks, and charm when really, they need to be focusing on them selves as a person, growing, improving to be the best that they could ever obtain to be.
I've noticed with the times, people are glued to their cell phones, I understand that its a break from reality, but if you spend your whole life looking down, you're going to forget how to look forward.
There are moments in life where everyone is truly beautiful, it comes in segments, rather that be a persons' crooked smile, how their hair shines in the sun, the way they look at the world around them.
If you spend the majority of your time caught up in materialistic possessions, you're going to miss those moments, and once their gone, their gone, you've missed that moment. Life is fleeting, the older you get, the more you begin to realize this.
So to all of you who are struggling, remember to live in the moment, remember to look up, keep moving forward, and never forget who you are.
The thing I love about cats is that they’re basically born ready to throw down. There’s something strangely life-affirming about seeing a ball of fuzz that could fit in the palm of your hand with room to spare react to an unfamiliar creature literally a hundred times its size by going “I roll Intimidation”.
Envy and jealousy can sneak up on people and it can cause some serious damage emotionally and even physically! Stop comparing yourself to others, because no life is exactly the same - we each have our own obstacles and challenges to accomplish. So when you start to think the grass is greener on the other side, think about your own goals, nurture and take care of your side of the yard, because the more blessings you count in your life, the more beautiful flowers will flourish!!
