Tired of feeling 'emo'? Read these rules

I found this in an FA journal and considered it to be relevant to the changes in my personality and character. Over the last 2 years or so I've been finding it easier to just call people out on BS and remove them from my life if need be. Granted this makes me look like a dick but I find myself to be happier without having to deal with everyone's

Guh ... I saw this in a tweet and had to look. It took me 10 years to figure this out. And it helps tremendously. Letting go of things has been the hardest part, ignoring people, and turning the other cheek have also been difficult. I have always wanted to be a person who was liked ... or at the very least, not disliked. But that mission all but backfired. These rules are grand and good ones. The only thing I have a difficult time doing is hate. Its a word I would rather not use. I am very forgiving of others, but the stresses have left their mark. Its time to move on.

Congrats on your revelation. I hope we may pass ways someday.

Best to you!

Yeah there are parts that I agree with more firmly than others. I believe in giving second chances though and in some cases 3 or 4 depending on the severity. Some people I find out are just not worth talking to, those are the people I just stop talking with completely.

I'm very passionate, affectionate and romantic but I can also be a bitch when I have to be.. to varying levels. I think I've conditioned myself to think that I don't *have* to have a boyfriend to be happy simply because I haven't met anyone I connected with like I did with my ex; I try to avoid thinking about it because it makes me sad.

Sometimes people you think you're friends with actually don't like you at all, and some you are just too different from to get along with better than just simply an aquantice.

I know who I am, what I am and what I like. I know what I want, just not how to visualize and achieve it.

Most of the people I feel have wronged me have either done it quite badly or have a history of it.

Good words to live by. Can't let others control your emotional state. :3
