So Mama sent me this article about dropping friends who are not good to have around. I found it amusing because I have already done that. I am working on one last one, which is being difficult. I am conflicted by it, especially with the situation. I have, however, dropped most of the friends down to acquaintances that cause more harm than good. All are unaware, so it's all good. I sound like a jerk, but oh well. Know what the difference is????? Munchkin is content, Munchkin feels good about herself. I have been able to focus on what is going on in my life rather than keeping myself stressed over things I cannot change. I feel better about who I am because I have focused my energy to bettering myself. You know what?
It's been great.
I feel like I have been better.
I cleaned my room. I gave everything a place, a purpose. I cleaned my life up. Everything I do has purpose and has its place.
I have a place, a purpose.
I just have to find it.
Yet...
I feel as if something good is coming. I feel like some great opportunity is headed my way.
I have loosened what binds me,
My eyes look above,
Soon I could be free,
The time I will love.
I realize that I am in charge of my attitude, I am the one who controls my life. I am trying my hardest to get a better attitude all the way around. About work, about life in general.
I had a good example of disciplining myself today:
I went to work, not in a good mood whatsoever. It was a dreary, grey day and the last thing I wanted to do was leave my bed. I started setting up for the birthday party and was in a real sour puss mood. I realized this and immediately told myself to suck it up and have fun. This attitude change made the day so much better.
Once the kids got there, it made it easier. I love to play with kids and have a good time with them. Sometimes it really disturbs me how much kids like me. It is flattering in a way and it is cute, too. When I asked all the kids to line up, they attacked me with hugs. The parents all laughed because the children nearly knocked me over. I shouldn't use children as an excuse to be playful and happy. I really felt happy. Children are so innocent, so pure. They love the innocent and simple things in life. That is beauty that is unsurpassed by anything in this world. That is why kittens, puppies, and any other baby animal is cute and adorable. They do things because they do not know better, they look small and innocent, which softens one's heart. At least once in a person's life they wish they could go back to being an innocent child, unknowing to the problems of the world and such. In a way, I agree. Children are in the best and happiest place.
That digressed quite a bit, but oh well.
That is what blogs are for, no?
something Mama and I talked about reminds me... about writing. Writing on paper is dying. The emotion is lost on the computer screen. Unless you put in brackets you were typing and crying, you will never remember shedding tears while writing something. You lose all emotional attachment to your writing.
Perhaps the new age isn't so amazing. The world continuily grows towards more apathy. Teenagers do stupid actions because they don't care and do not see a reason to care.
This world needs a wake up call.
I am so glad I received mine.
There is a new breath of life for me. I don't necessarily wish it came earlier. I learned a ton from stupid stuff I have done. I have realized I should not regret my actions, but simply learn from them. Regret is pointless, in all honesty. Learning is the best you can get out of anything. I am letting go of the stupid guilt I have felt for so long.
and the best part:
it's working.
I really love my new personal freedom.
