...what you make of it. Everyone wants to be happy, but I don't think many know how to get to become happy. Or genuinely happy. There's those small moments of life where you have glimpses of happiness, but then fall back into the rut of sadness.
I've been battling a lot this past year, and as much as I would love to dive into the cold hard details of it all and spew it forth onto the internet for anyone to read, it's not worth it. Plus, for the 118 of you that have read this site so far, it's more of a corner of the vast room of other things online to consume your time with, so I'll be brief.
I don't feel like I'm a bad guy. I've gotten decent grades in school, I get my work done, and I just do what I do. Go see a movie, frequent Disneyland, etc.
Yet, I get from a fair amount of people that I'm 'not who I'm supposed to be', or 'you could have been so much better', or 'you won't make it to do this'. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of the lack of support. The genuine lack of support and care where people are actually excited about my engagement, and not just on the bandwagon because they're afraid they'll lose me if they stand their ground on not agreeing with it (people are thinking I'm too young to get married). Fine, don't agree with it. But invest none the less. It helps, it really does when you ask a question about what someone's doing, and then ask why they're doing ___ that way. Maybe it's just me, but that's where you really show you care. Not just ask "how are you" only to auto-reply with "oh okay" and carry on. No, take time to dive into someone's life. Ask "how are you" and then say "oh awesome, how is that going?" It makes a difference.
Breaking it down, this isn't just about how I've been feeling. It's about people in general. I've been sitting back and watching, and it seems like people just don't care as much as they used to. The world was cold, but it's gotten colder. Why not take a note from that thing called global warming, and instead of us as a world melting the ice caps, why not we melt the cold hearts of people around us? It's a really cliche thing to say, but it's true. Pay it forward. Invest in lives, and show that you care.
So that's all I've got right now. I just got off work, I'm tired and I need sleep.
