I often try to take a step or two out of my body and examine myself... If I don't see myself smiling, I determine what it is that's bringing me down. If its something that can be fixed, I fix it. If it's something that can be changed, I change it. If it's a state of mind, I try to think differently. It probably sounds cliche, but I honestly do try to see the bright side of everything. Those who know me would probably agree:) Being upset, pessimistic, self conscious, or helpless isn't for me.. Don't get me wrong.. my mind has a crazy way of constantly over analyzing and letting insecurities, doubts, and fears take over. But I strongly believe that it's how you choose to deal with those unhealthy thoughts that make you who you are.
It's a good feeling to know that it doesn't matter how early in the morning it is, how stupid the reason is, and whether or not it has anything at all to do with them, I have people that I know I can call.
