Well... It's been a while. I had a pretty mellow weekend. Saturday was fun because I got to spend it with my mom. Dad tagged along too, and he was annoying as usual, but I remained calm and ignored every word :-) Trying to remain positive. It's been hard this week. Damn you, Hormones. I have been down the past few days, but now I'm trying to get back on track.
I found out exciting news today, which will be shared momentarily because right now it's shhh... That made me way happy :-)
Anyway, about trying to stay happy. I've been really hard on myself lately. I've been putting myself down and just being completely unkind. It's a really cliche saying, but I have always been told that you should treat yourself as you would treat your best friend. Well, lately I haven't been treating myself good at all. I need to start taking better care of myself. I need to laugh. I find it hard to laugh lately. I need to smile more. I need to look at my life and see the good in it and smile. I need to find people around me who are more positive and be around them. I need to stop thinking that everyone hates me. I need to stop thinking that I'm never going to be good enough for anyone. And I need to stop thinking that I will never be successful in my life. And most of all, I need to stop thinking that there is this huge rain cloud over my head that will never go away, and that I am the only person that is getting a rainstorm.
I need hope.
Things/people that I am thankful for:
*my mom
*my sister

*Amanda
*I had a good shopping day on Saturday lol plus, QT with mom.
*I have awesome friends.
*Spring break is almost here.

*Everyone in my family or circle of friends is healthy :-)
*I am actually coming up with poems and stories to write.
*I am a clean and fairly neat person.
*I haven't been sick in a loonnng time.

*Peanut butter pancakes. Enough said.
*new people coming into my life and surprising me
Yup. Things are looking up now. I feel better, which means life can only get better!
