just keep swimming~

Just my personal motivation to keep going even when I feel like stopping. To keep going and keep walking even if my heart's weary and I feel like giving up. I think I need to start being more positive and look up a little more instead of always looking at the bad things that come out of life.  I won't be a bitter and cynical person. I want to be a 'better' and happier person.

I think I personally have something against bitterness and people who tend to shove their cynicism in everyone else's faces (actually I have a thing against anyone who shoves anything in my face and forces me to take it really, but that's not the point). But I think that cynical people who assume that happy people are just innocent and sheltered people who don't see the bad in life are sorely mistaken. It just infuriates me to no end when I'm talking to someone and all the person can say to me is "Life isn't as cheery and easy as you think it is" or that they '"don't see the point" in certain ideas because things always take a turn for the worse so there's no point in trying hard in that condescending tone where they think they know it all.

I think that optimistic and happy people are the strongest. I think it takes one to be upset and cynical about life all the time but it take another braver and stronger person to believe in the best of humanity and try again, even when all else falls.

Things may go wrong, but things go right too. Why focus on the negativity when there's so much to be happy about in life?

I always get mad and frustrated at people who assume I'm the way I am because I'm sheltered and naive and haven't seen the world and horrible it can get. I get annoyed at people who assume I'm innocent and have absolutely no opinion and therefore means I am stupid and that I think life is so easy because I'm relatively well off. I'm not innocent, sheltered and completely optimistic because I've had life easy. I'm trying my best to be positive and happy because I acknowledge that although there are many things in life to be upset about, I chose to look on the brighter side of things because I have seen the good in life as well.

I refuse to be negative and pessimistic because it more often than not just breeds hostility and intolerance. And that does not show how smart you are or how much of an opinion you have. It just shows how miserable you are and how much you need to make others feel bad to make yourself that much happier.

So no, I refuse, I refuse to be upset and negative anymore. This will be hard and I may be getting myself into a lot more than I bargained for. But I will get there :)

p.s more updates on upcoming stuff soon~
