it could be worse

this post is for my girlies who are going through rough/confusing times right now. (: i hope this helps.

you see the sunshine peering through the clouds in the picture? that light represents the cheesiest, most clichéd, hope imaginable. and of course, the clouds are what you're going through right now. i know you may not think this, but hey, things could be worse. he could've said no. he could've ignored you. he could've lied. etccc...

i think the trick to getting over these debbie (not to be confused with the lovely debbi) downer times is to really focus on the positive things that actually have happened. yes, that sounds totally lame. and no, you may not think that there are positive aspects to your situations. but you know what? there is always more positive than negative. it may be a bit hard to dig deep enough to locate it, but it's there. trust me. if you read my blog info, you would know that i have a pessimist front with an optimistic mind. & this is the optimism shining through those icky rain clouds right now. (:

so instead of sitting around late at night/early in the morning thinking things like "what if it's all out of pity?" and "why did i have to be that girl?", just remember how lucky you are in the first place. we've all been blessed with wonderful (and sometimes jerk-like) people in our lives, and without them, none of us would be the same. until you know for sure that you've been cursed for life, i say just keep your head up and ignore those obnoxious little voices in your minds that tell you guys that you aren't good enough for whatever or whomever. even if things don't work out (and statistically, some things are bound to go wrong. sorry.), just view the opportunity as a learning experience and move forward. keep it positive!
