to infinity and beyond

this is all about positive thought. so if you’re having a bad day and don’t wanna hear about cheerful shit… with all due respect, please keep reading.

so i’ve always thought of my life as being “on the rise.” i am the eternal optimist. hopeful in every way. dreaming of only good things to come. and somehow when bad things happen to me, i imagine them only being the means by which i am catapulted even higher and faster on this ride called life- think of a slingshot. bad things that happen are like the part when you pull a sling shot back. yes, i feel the pain and difficulty. i feel the backward motion. i feel the forces of nature working against me. but once i get over those roadblocks, it’s like letting go of that sling. it feels like i’m getting catapulted up higher and further than i even imagined… and i just keep going. so that’s the point, i’m always looking on the good side. i’m always thinking of how through it all, i’m going to come out on top. everything that happens is for the best possible outcome.

and i think that’s a huge part of what’s made my life what it is- a happy one. at times when i was really “going through it,” i never gave up on myself. i just knew that everything was going to be okay.

so i’m not really sure what the point of this post is, but i think i’m just having one of those really good days. i just want people to know that when you think positively, good things really do happen to you. and when bad things happen, they’re not really that bad… and you can somehow find a way to justify them- just another challenge conquered. in the entirety of your life, just another notch on the belt. another fall… right onto a trampoline. you tell yourself that it’ll only get your further, faster.

so when you feel like all hope is lost, don’t. because hope comes from the inside. when you feel like you’ve lost everything, it’s the one thing that no one can take away from you. and hope gets you through a lot. believe me… it’s taken me awhile to realize it- but i have a completely unbreakable spirit.
