Smile and wave..

Life throws so many things in our faces it sometimes feels like you can't even breath! But that's exactly what we need to do. Breath. Deep breaths to take us away from everything that's cluttering our minds.  Breaths to bring us back to what is important. With all the added stress in our every day lives we sometimes lose touch with what is really truly important to us. For myself when I find things becoming too stressful I just lay down, turn on my favorite music and think. Think about what is making me so stressed, so upset, and then think about what makes me happy, the things I love.
I think about how much social class pisses me off and how no matter how much I try I still can't fill out a stupid political fricken spectrum. I think about how I'm going to make my next car or phone payment. How I just have to work and work and rarely get to see my friends. I think about how if my Gramma was still here everyone would just be happy, because she was our anchor and brought everyone together. I think about how in six months I  have to take a complete dive into the unknown and make a life for myself. All these things bring in so much stress I feel like I could just burst into tears, drop out of school and crawl in a hole!
BUT...this will get me no where. And I'm too precious to keep myself away from the world!! So, I think about the things I love. The things that make my life amazing. I think about how I have amazing family members who support me with everything I choose to do and give me their unconditional love when I need it most! I think about all the times we have together just laughing our butts off and making priceless memories doing things that are just ridiculous. I think about how I have the best of friends, friends that are there for me when I'm just bitchy and mean and they don't take it to heart. Friends that also laugh with me when I need it most and share amazing memories. I think about how when I play piano it clears my mind and takes me to a place that no one can take away from me. I think about how my future is going to benefit so many people, and not just myself. I think about even though my Gramma isn't here anymore, how when she was she loved so much. I think about how she will never be completely gone because everyone she loved now has little pieces of her within them and they come out whenever we need them most.

I usually feel a lot better after I do this! There is so much negative out in the world and we let it get to us, but we shouldn't! There is so much to live for and life is short. So when you get overwhelmed with all this negativity, smile and wave. Let it pass by and go on with you happy every day life. No one deserves misery, so smile as much as you can and eventually the world will catch on =)
