I have this new theory that you have to make your own happiness. It makes no sense to just wait for happiness to happen and for there to be this magical moment where everything is great. In reality it never will be unless you work at it.
I'm starting to realise that happiness doesn't have as much to do with the things around you as with how you react to those things around you. You have to be happy about the good stuff and refuse to let the bad stuff get you down for too long. This is one of those easier-said-than-done things, but I'm pretty sure it's achievable. It's not like I'm anywhere near perfecting any of this. I'm only 18, and there is so much that I do not know about the world. Although I suppose it's a step in the right direction that I recognise that.
Now this has been a really confusing and rambling post. But I suppose the main point is that it all comes down to attitude, and life experience helps put things in perspective.
This is so absolutely true! Although building up that positive attitude is hard, especially since there are so many things out there trying to trip us up. M.R's an amazing haven for us to build the foundation to this attitude, I think, just because of the acceptance and kindness that everyone there has. Don't know how I'll cope at uni and beyond, in the big scary world out there xD
Yeah, M.R.'s awesome. Although it does make me think that everyone in the world is the same in terms of loveliness, and finding out otherwise is always disappointing. Not to say that there aren't also lovely people in the world outside M.R. The percentage density is just smaller.
