Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress...
So everyone has that one (or two...ish) song that you totally blast in the car when you're alone and no one can hear it--or you singing along. You know--the guilty pleasure that you'd be rather embarrassed if anyone found out you actually liked it.
((no need to click anything; it'll play automatically))
I can't help liking it--it's so happy haha.
Though, the first time I heard it, I wasn't that much of a fan...probably because it was through the video, and I'm not too hot for that...
But I <3 the song.
And you know what? I'm not that ashamed...
=P.
Anyway...
It's the middle of the week, but it feels like it should be over by now...I remember perfectly well the last time I felt this mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted--I just didn't think I'd be feeling that way again so soon afterwards. It sounds like such a sad, little emo-kid thing to say, but I swear, the world was against me this week, and it did a pretty thorough job of tearing me down. So much that I really didn't want to think of ways it could have been worse, or times when life was better because that just made everything seem all the more worse.
However, I learned a very important lesson: not everyone is willing to help you succeed. As an individual, it's important to be resourceful, and think out of the box for solutions to problems you face. It also helps to have an amazing boyfriend =).
I also learned how incredibly hurtful and wrong it is to judge someone with absolutely no knowledge of the circumstances that have brought them to a single point in time. When someone asks for help, and you're unwilling to give it, just say no--don't give them some long-winded lecture assuming you know exactly why they came to you for help in the first place, because chances are, you really have no idea. Unless you know every little detail leading up to that plea, it's best to be simple and concise, rather than critical and judgmental.
I know I'm being slightly hypocritical--I mean, I won't lie...I judge people all the time, and I'm sure my off-hand guesses have been the opposite of reality before. But there's an incredibly thin line there that I've been careful not to cross; it was really, really sad to see someone I respected cross that line. I understand where she's coming from, but that really is no excuse for her reaction.
But whatever; I have a feeling I'll be the last one laughing in the end.
I think I'll end this with something to think about...
In my Spanish 102 class, there's a pretty awesome girl with a pretty awesome tattoo on the back of her neck. In Dutch, it says:
Happiness is a choice.
I've made my decision.
Have you made yours?
