what i've learned

todays challenge topic: things i have learned that school wont teach me

school doesn't teach you how to cope, or move on after your heart has been broken. and i hate to say it but i have had my heart broken so many times i know how to move on from it like i was changing the toilet paper. i dont know why people struggle with a broken heart for so long. the first few times...it does take time. but after that, when someone leaves you, when something hurts you, for no good reason that you didn't or maybe you did deserve you just have to decide if you want to be happy, and if you do choose to be happy than its that easy! just be. dont linger on things that hurt you, that dont better you, on people that dont appreciate you, or support you, or build you up. forget them. if your on your own now because you have left those awful people...then its time for you to start over. you get to be a better, smarter person. you have to be your own best friend and your own biggest support group, because people leave, promises are broken, and lies are told. you cant REALLY trust as many people as you think. because at the end of the day...its you against the world. at least that is how i feel. life will happen and get you down. people will be mean. especially heartless boys and ruthless girls. but that is life. and if you want to waste your time being sad about something that happened how ever many years ago and act like it happened last week, thats your deal. as for me. i choose to be happy. its not easy. but it feels a lot better than being sad. and dwelling on things in the past that i can no longer change. so stop your crying and get happy. i know that there will always be a mourning process. where you cry...and cry...and wish death upon yourself and eat mcdonalds for a week. but after that. after the tears have dried and your mcdouble is gone. move on. start over. reinvent yourself.

“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.” 

 

and that my friends ^^^ pretty much sums up

everything i am trying to get across.
