Did you know that people that talk bad about you may just be jealous of what you have? Did you know that you can be successful in any way and have the things you have dreamed of if you can see it? I know that feeling good is my responsibility and I owe it to myself to try take loving care of myself. Being able to understand what I needed has made me happier than I could ever realized. If things do not go my way, then they were bad for me anyway. The things I desire and want are within reach. We can go to beautiful places, and we can end up in bad places. I have seen both and of course had my balance of both. The tough times are more memorable to me now because of the way they made me feel. When thinking about it I can feel the emotions and what was going through myself that day again. The good times make the troubled times worth it. They bring out the sun when you are not feeling good. The desire to do my own thing makes sense and there are no rules when living this way. Just following what I have experienced, learned from my own and other stories. You can dwell on mistakes you have made, or you can try to do things a unique way. I know that when we feel hurt, we like to then continue that chain and carry it out on others or whatever crosses our path if the pain is deep enough. What if we took all the power we had and broke from the chain, freeing ourselves from whatever situation we feel powerless from. I have needed to accept the past because until I get my time machine, I will not be changing those stories. The good will outweigh the bad depending on the importance I decide to give it. I like the fact of trying to be cooler, calmer under any kind of pressure. Things come up or things that we think come up and we focus and go from problem to problem. That can be exhausting if you never give yourself a break. Staying calmer, more relaxed has increased my happiness. Feeling the grind from the outside does not bother me and I do not give as much importance to it as I once did. Realizing the world is a big place with the number of people we can run into, but it can also be a place where we just gather with a few of the people that our closest to us. What do you want the future to look like? I want to be present today, so I can be patient for tomorrow. Being more present has been helpful and trying to understand the flow I feel from each person when I am meeting with them. People confuse me because I constantly feel like the opposite. This has become a good thing and something that turned from shame to happiness for me. I would not change the decisions that I have made even when they were not popular.
