It's really hard to stay positive and optimistic when everything around you is crumbling down. I used to be a pessimist, but as i grew older i found out that maybe it wasn't the path i should take. So i started to change that, I started to change the way i thought. I mean, I live this life once, so I'd rather be happy about it. Thus less things would piss me off. A lot of things really aren't worth getting angry or sad about. My mom used to tell me " forget, forgive , and let live" whenever i got into an argument with my dad, or when i was upset about something. This phrase helped me through a lot of things, i use it until this very day. But what happens when something's worth it, what should i do when the the things i hold close to me, the things i treasure in my life aren't going the way i want them to. I feel like an empty bottle that's being filled with a lot of emotions, and the bottle can't hold much so it's overflowing. Raw feelings can be a great thing, but they also can cause you a lot of pain. And it hurts. How can i look at the bright side of life, when i'm at the dark side. Life isn't easy, but there's no reason for that. Things can be simple, but they still aren't easy. My name means " to smile" , but right now i have no reason to smile.
