Well If the only thing one teacher taught me it was that if you can't laugh at yourself you'll miss half the jokes. It's true, sometimes you need to make a fool of yourself and just laugh about it. Laughter is the best medicine, it's true. I like to make funny faces and take pictures and then laugh at myself, it always makes me feel better. Who cares why.
I love to be happy and alive, I love the simple things, like ice cream and friends. I love summer, everything about it. The music, the sounds, the smells, the feeling.
We all have those things that make us happy, and the thing we all need to train ourselves to do is put all those things in one part of our brains and go to that spot when we're down.
I think we're all like birds, and every once and a while we are going too good and not thinking and WHAM you run into a window. But you just gotta get up stretch your wings and go back out there.
Life is something you can't waste on silly people and silly fights, I've learned to let go. Because if I didn't every time I get up I'd just run right back into that window instead of turning around.
Being content is the best feeling in the world. When you truely feel content you'll know it. It's not happy, it's completely different. I feel it in the summer when the sun is just starting to go down and there's just that perfect lighting that makes everything turn gold, and I feel content. I've been sitting on a porch with Shane, or riding in the car with Sarah, or walking back from glen's with Natalie, or at work with people all around me, or just by myself. I'm content. I'm not thinking about the fights or the lost friends. I think about now, and everything to come.
