Lately I've had one of those week-altering moments. Yeah, an entire week, that's intense! I've just been so laid back about everything. A lot of things have been bothering me, well, before now I mean. Now nothing seems to bother me. I've got school work and I'm saying "whatever, I'll take care of it in a bit" and then I do and I don't get worked up about it like I used to. The key to me enjoying everything seems to lie in removing all possible stress out a situation. Now, I've always been excellent at handling stress so I never bothered to eliminate it, I just dealt with it like a man. Ever since the beginning of this school year, I've had more stress than I've ever had before in the past and I had a lot of trouble dealing with it. At first I thought that I had gotten weaker seeing as I was dealing with this issue from a position of strength rather than a position of elimination (or strategy if you will). But I realized that finding a way to deal with that amount of stress, which turned out to be by eliminating or ignoring it, has actually made me a lot stronger. Stronger in the sense that it's easier to be happy. And if you're more happy then that must mean that you're dealing with everything with strength and confidence. A classic example of what I've done all my life: turning a negative into a positive. Even if I don't write as much about the positive things as I should. :)
