You know sometimes bad things happen. And people get sad. And when you hang around sad people long enough, you might get sad too. Well, I just wanted to let you know that you don't always have to be. I think sometimes people get stuck in this set of mind that they'll always be sad. They'll never be happy. I think sometimes people lose sight of beauty and only dwell on the sad. The things that make them feel lonely, the voice in the head saying you can't do this, that is what they listen to and see. They don't see the beautiful girl in the mirror, or the positive compliments and words of encouragement given to them, the party they were invited to, the hug of a best friend. They see the one zit that nobody else noticed, the negative compliment from the insecure girl who picks on others to make her feel better, the party they weren't invited to, the people who chose not to be their friends. You don't have to do that to yourself. You can think of happy thoughts. In fact, you need to. You need to give yourself a break and love yourself. So, don't throw away the things that make you happy. Don't lose or forget your passion. Renew it, rekindle it. Or find it. Watch the Disney movie, dance with your heart on the floor, and never ever give up. Always hope and always have a dream. Preferably two or more dreams. But honestly, don't lose sight of it. I know I've forgotten about them at times and I have focused on the sad at times. But I also know this; Life can change. Perspective can change. You can change. You can dream again. So do that. If you can, change your perspective and hold on to happiness and things can and will be better and brighter.

 

(My personal favorites: Hanging fairy lights, baking an apple pie, pick flowers, go to a cafe and be okay at some point.)

Hold on to the ones who cheer for you. And soak up some of their happiness. Laugh. It's rewarding.

 

Lose yourself to find yourself.

Remember there are two kinds of diseases we can spread without getting sick. One. The disease of sadness. Two. The disease of happiness. It's up to you which one you decide to spread to the world. :)
