I'd like to think that people should be able to let go of the past and accept that everything/everyone changes, even if in minor or unnoticeable ways; however, I see a major lacking of open-mindedness in most people who I have had confrontation with in the past. this is a problem I have recognized in myself, too. it's easy to hold grudges from even the smallest incidences, but in some cases I think it should be easy enough to take just a moment to reflect and reassess what's going on now in comparison to then. it has been my most recent goal to keep a level head in a situation where I may have lost it and let myself lose composure once before, which helps me realize that mind over matter is a very powerful concept. I don't think that the world is out to get me, but have noticed that good and bad fortune tend to wash over my life in waves. it is becoming more apparent to me now that it is how I face each wave that will determine whether or not is affects my life. with more and more obligations taking over my life in the past month, I've realized that even though I don't necessarily care to meet expectations or complete what I find to be meaningless tasks, I have to give a little to get a little if I want to move forward to a place where I feel more in control and content with what I want and must do.

in other words: I will grin and bear it and continue to do my best in every aspect of my life.
