(no subject)
I have a strict policy of forcing myself to look on the bright side of any situation, and except in extreme circumstances, it always keeps my from getting hurt. It is a very patient process that takes more mental discipline than I'd like to discuss.
But lately, with a serious lack of people who deserve to be cared about, and the unyeilding desire to care, looking on the bright side is becoming very difficult. I used to be all about other people, and making them happy... but that's not a good thing. Keeping others happy means accepting an incessant stream of getting myself fucked over. At the same time, though, having a selfish attitude is childish, and it doesn't make me happy.
Sigh. I'll learn.
