I try to stay a positive person. When something not so good happens, I always try to look at the positive side and have faith that everything happens for a reason. I have my sad, frustrating, and upset moments. But I try to quickly push those gray clouds away and let the sun shine through once again. Yes, sometimes those clouds tend to linger just a little longer than you want.
My circle of friends has become smaller and smaller. If I choose to spend time with someone, it's because they have had a positive impact on my life. They are encouraging, supportive, dependable, and I can trust them. They let me be myself and time spent with them is always full of laughter and happiness.
I don't like being around negative people. I don't like to be around people that are constantly complaining about something. They think making a joke at your expense all the time is funny. And some people constantly love drama. Save the drama for your mama because I don't want to be part of it. It's easy to be pulled down by other people's negativity.
I've learned over and over that if you don't like something, change it yourself. Be proactive and take the steps necessary to make things positive. Keep yourself surrounded by people who feel the same.
