STOP KONY 2012


Happiness & Sadness

Happiness and Sadness are both so temporary. One never lasts long before the other creeps up and takes over. This isn’t necessarily good or bad, just a normal part of life I guess. It’s not good because happiness can’t possibly last forever and at some point it’s going to fade into some type of sadness. But it’s also not bad because then sadness can’t last forever either. The cyclical process can be really tiring sometimes.

Although, I’ve decided that at any given moment you are choosing your to be however sad or however happy. No matter what the circumstance, you are consciously choosing. In theory, no one ever really has to be sad because there are always things/reasons to be happy about. The reasons are different for everyone, but I swear they are always there. 

For me personally, reasons why I should never actually feel sad/depressed/like my life is terrible/whatever/ are: I have food, shelter, and clean water which are things that actually should not be taken for granted because a lot of the world is not as blessed with these, I have a family that loves me and provides everything I need, I have the best friend anyone could ask for and a few other good friends I can also count on, I potentially am going to be in a relationship soon with the only guy I’ve ever really liked, I’m Christian and I trust that God will protect me and keep me going in the right direction in my life, I have the privilege of being in college and living on campus, I’m completely healthy with no serious illnesses, I’m decently attractive and in shape and manage to have self-confidence a good amount of the time, and I’m naturally a pretty smart, understanding, and compassionate person.

There you go. So whenever I’m sad I know that it is something I’m consciously choosing and I really don’t need to be, and that it’s temporary and will soon pass.

I suggest that other people make their own list and really think about trying to see the good in things and “look on the bright side” as cheesy at that may sound. There’s a lot to be grateful for and excited about if you let yourself recognize it, so stop dwelling on the negative and try to live appreciatively!

“People are only as happy as they make up their minds to be.” - Abraham Lincoln



‎Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings that puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
Sigmund Freud  (via psych-quotes)

People Pleasing

  I’ve always considered myself a people pleaser, but I had always thought it was more of an internal desire rather than something that was apparent to other people until my friend brought it to my attention today. Is there a problem with people pleasing? I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want acceptance and for people to like you, but I think there is a way to take it too far, which I probably do sometimes. I also think it depends on the person you are trying to please, and how you are trying to please them.

For example, going out of your way to please people who have no genuine interest in you as a person would be considered taking it too far. Don’t misunderstand though, there is a fine line between people pleasing and just being nice to people for the sake of being a good person. No matter how shitty other people are to you, it still doesn’t condone being shitty back to them, or at least in my opinion. I say just always be nice and genuine, and other people will feel stupid for not returning the sincerity. They may not ever express that they know they’re in the wrong, but deep down they’ll feel guilty for being rude to someone who’s never been rude to them.

It’s true that “you can’t please everyone”. It’s hard to accept for a people pleaser like myself, but your personality can’t be compatible with everyone. And if you think it is, there are still people you enjoy spending time with over others. But in reality, to actually please everyone, you would have to change your personality depending on who you’re with, and in that case, everyone doesn’t like YOU, they like what you’re acting like, and after a while, acting different than yourself gets tiring and is not fulfilling.

So to summarize, put yourself out there in the most genuine form you can manage and those who respond positively are going to be the people you want in your life. Don’t waste your life forcing yourself on people who don’t appreciate you when there are others who do.


I made this tumblr because

I always think about things throughout my day that I wonder if other people are thinking the same. Well he’s my chance to spill out my mind. Enjoy
