you know what's weird?

i'll tell you whats weird. LIFE is weird.

my day went from bad... to worse... to absolutely horrible... to hopeful. that usually means good, though, because i take pride in the fact that there are so very few people who can leave a bad situation feeling hopeful. i feel like a large part of society has just stopped feeling that emotion in particular. we've all gotten into the habit of walking around either completely happy, completely sad, or content with the situation at hand ("this is the way it's going to be forever and i can deal with it"). We're never just hopeful... never just thinking to ourself "meh, things aren't great right now but they'll get better because I want them to get better."

nobody does that anymore. instead of just dealing with a problem and taking it for what it is i feel like we should actually THINK about exactly whats making us unhappy about our job, life, relationship... WHATEVER. just fix it. talk about it. do whatever it takes... justdon't settle. don't ever just settle. we americans in particular have all the resources in the world to pull ourselves out of the worst slump imaginable. we could be at the very bottom of society, completely alone, ready to die and STILL pull ourselves up and out of it as long as we had the WILL and the HOPE to do so. Everything gets better if you decide to MAKE it better.

maybe i'm just young... but i feel like if i really wanted to do something, as cliche as it sounds, the only thing that could stop me is myself. i just wish everybody else felt like that.

meh, thats all i have for tonight. my random rant. now go tell someone you love them. no, better yet... go and SHOW someone you love them :]
