the things around .

This post may seem a little word-y, I tried condensing my thoughts, any who, I hope you stick all the way through.



Today's post is about the smaller things. This morning I had somewhat of a revelation. I sometimes just sit and think and then one thought leads to another, and somehow, it always ends up in a "woe is me"state of mind. I literally (well, not literally) slapped myself in the face to get myself out of this trans. I just thought of all the terrible things happening. Things like ISIS and innocent people being killed and families who have no palace to live. How awful am I to complain about my life when it could be so much worse?

Now, I understand that things happen, and I am not saying that just because I may have a steady meal and a warm home that I have no right to be sad and cry. I (and we) have the same right to be upset and cry about our situations. What I'm just trying to put across I guess is that when you feel that way, when life really kicks you, to just remember the good things that are happening and be grateful, be so so grateful, because you can be without so much more. Don't let the problems fool you, you are alive and AREN'T fighting a war or disease or total chaos in your life, you have the ability to move and breath on your own. Don't take the small things for granted it's SSSOOO easy to forget we are blessed

Finally, I also believe we sometimes forget of all the tragic events around the world when it doesn't apply to us. It honestly breaks my heart so incredibly much that things happen to others that we cant stop. I try to remind myself when I'm in a bad mood and  respond to someone crappy, I ask myself,  am I adding to something they are already going through? We are around so many people daily, and aren't even aware of half of the battle they may dealing with.When that small voice in your head tells you things that make you sad or the arguments or events in your life make your life seem dark, when that happens think of the good things that ARE happening to you. You'll be okay I promise, I promise
