Remember to care.
13I rambled on for a little over 3 minutes on this topic. This is the much more condensed version.. but the overall point stands. Be a good human. Sometimes it feels like those are lacking in this crazy world. There's so much negativity being thrown at us every single day. Sometimes that negativity comes from people that we're close to, and that honestly makes being warm and kind harder to accomplish. I've learned over these last few months though that you HAVE to try remaining positive in the face of others' negativity even though it's difficult. We have to do this for our own sanity and well being above all else. Allowing yourself to get swallowed up be the negative energy around you is a very dangerous thing, and it takes special people to help pull you out of it. I'm lucky to have surrounded myself with some of those kinds of people, and they're always there to spot when I start to go off the deep end emotionally. If you guys are reading this I just wanted to say thank you... For being there for me. For caring.. For not letting me be sad for long, and beat myself up over things that I can't change even if I wanted to. I'm not entirely sure where I'd be without you guys being part of my family, and so I just wanted to take this time to really thank you in the most Joy way I know... too long of rambles that few will bother to read in the first place.
