Wake Up Wake Up!

I feel that as long as I write stuff down and really remind myself of little quotes like this, I will forever be ok.  Sometimes life gets at you, ya know?  Little things, big things, it can all take a toll on you and add up.  Sometimes we don’t recognize the great things we have and the opportunities we are afforded in this life.  Even if at the moment it doesn’t seem like a lot, we have to remember that everything we have is a lot compared to others.  Don’t complain, don’t over think and life your life.  You cannot control anyone else.  So since that’s true, how is it possible to let other people get to us?  My philosophy is that people like me care TOO much.  And I don’t know if that’s good or bad at this point.  I’m not going to stop caring, but I’m just going to choose who and what I do care about.  And to what extent.  Like I said…can’t control anyone else.  They make their own choices.  So why let other peoples choices get to me?  They can be unhappy, unfaithful, uninterestd, UN EVERYTHING, for all I care!  But that’s not me.  It does not affect me.  These people are minimal in my life, if not at all.  So VOILA!  You are not cared about nor respected.  But for the choices you make in your life, that’s what you deserve.  Maybe what you want.  

And on that note, even though it may sound like a bunch of rambling to most people, I feel TEN FOLD better.  How ya like that?!  See how wonderful writing can be?!  If we all took a moment to really write down our thoughts, the world would really be a better place.  And maybe if everyone took a hit or two.  Because I’ll tell you right now, when I used to, not a thing in the world bothered me except for what really mattered.  And I never had any problems.  I do think that is the answer to a lot of them, anyway.  Relax.
