i love life

I have recently overcome a bout of griping. sometimes, one needs to work out the kinks---I normally have to do this more than others--- but i am a thinker and a feeler (i am not talking about that personality test thing) I am talking about me knowing me. I am also a talker-- so often the kinks come out verbally and i wear thin on the ears around me. for this i am sorry.

but happiness is a state of mind that anyone can achieve regardless of his or her situation. You cannot change other people, only how much you let their actions affect you. I have learned this the hard way.

I have also learned that loving and trusting is better than anything else even if you get duped time and time again. Why be miserable just to prevent misery? If you can be blissful and the worst outcome is that you were wrong about someone, why not take the happy road?

But I refuse to be wrong about people. People are good. Sometimes they just get confused. And it makes me happier to forgive them than to rehash the past. Am I just not learning any lessons? perhaps. I think I know what I am doing though. I just would rather be hurt than do the hurting. I would rather trust than be reserved and skeptical. I would rather love than hate. I would rather dive right in than test out the waters. A person is gonna do what they want to do. If the end result will be the same, why not take the path of least worry?

I have tried both ways--optimism sits better in my stomach.
