debbie downer: take a prozac

Ladies and germs, I feel the need to share a beef of mine. I love all of my friends, with all of my heart. I truly, truly do. However what I have a hard time dealing with is people who choose to not make themselves happy. And on that note let me tell you the power of choice in your lives here blogging (much like jogging but w/o the silent j, and well a bl instead). Understanding that you choose the path in your life can be a powerful realization. One chooses what to eat, one chooses whom to love, one chooses to smile, and one also chooses to be ignorant to the choices that they make. People, here is something that really is not revolutionary but maybe a nice gentle reminder, you are the owner of your person. Take ownership of it and the fact that it is you who primarily can control your destiny. Do not fall victim to the lazy mentality that things are done to you, you set many of the wheels in motion for the events that happen in your life. Granted, I am empathetic to certain events completely left in the hands of a superior being, but for the most part it is YOU loves. If you want something different than what is your present, than take the power and change it. Scary yes, but by god I am sure that in the long run it will probably be better than dwelling on unsatisfaction. That's the great thing about life, is that even when you feel lost you can choose to find your way back. Many times with the help of those around you, because people are inherently beautiful. Or at least I think they are.

Realization number 2, life is not all that bad, and the world will probably not come to an end because of some irrelevant detail in your life, or because of choices you make. We are way too young to not understand this fact. Life is beautiful no matter how light or dark it is. We are so lucky to be in the thick of it. Many times, life is pretty hysterical. Why not find the humor in its awkwardness? Theme of tonight's post: You only live once, you might as well enjoy it.
