enjoy the ride

Have you ever wondered how some people can be so happy even in the most trying of times? They stick out like sore thumbs!

I've always wanted to be like that - completely carefree about everything. I think that's why many of us are drawn to social situations. You run into these kinds of people, and suddenly the world seems like a better place.

I've been analyzing these social beings, and I've come to many different conclusions on why they are so exuberant about life:
It is human nature to repel away from stressful, painful situations. We are placed in these kinds of environments whether its against our will or not, so we look for that gateway to allow for peace of mind and fun.
Now, who wants to be around a sad, depressed person after a difficult week? Not many at all. And how many of those depressed, sad people want to be in that state? No one! So, we go hang out with people who make us happy.

I don't know what I could do without these people who have that flare for life, no matter how hard it can get. Sometimes I think I'm a downer by the way I can be at parties.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always been the same way: I over think about everything. I can be talking to a person about something serious, and still be thinking about other conflicting issues. It's like I have ADD (I know I don't have it... but sometimes it feels as though I might). When something is stressing me out, I poke and pry around my brain for solutions to my problems.

It's a nice change to be around people who are happy with life. That is how I should be. I shouldn't beat myself up over little issues. Just live life to it's fullest. And whatever is going to happen will happen. It's a matter that is completely out of my hands.

Well, time to go back to studying for finals. Have a pretty eventful week ahead of me. Girls night tomorrow, cookie baking on Sunday, and a Christmas party on Monday! Yeow!

God bless,
