Here's the Dealio

Sometimes I let people affect me a little more than I should. I am an emotional (hopefully not overly emotional) person, and I wear my thoughts and feelings on my sleeve. Sometimes this can get me into trouble. Sometimes I need to learn how to control it. Sometimes it's ok to become attached and let people affect you. And sometimes it isn't.

People are going to do what they're going to do. They're going to be what they're going to be. There will always be a few people who will try to hurt me or try to give me crap about certain things, but there will also always be those people who support me and respect me for who I am. Those are the people I want to surround myself with. Those are the people I want to spend my time thinking about. Not those who really have no interest in me other than to bring me down.

So here is my newest goal:

To not worry about those who do not really care about me and focus on those who treat me well and are truly good people. I can't always be so affected by the things people do and say. I must try to avoid that. All I want is to be happy, and for everyone else to find happiness, too. Everyone deserves that. And maybe staying out of their life will help cultivate some happiness for them.

There are a few people in my life who are friends, but not exactly close friends. More than acquaintances, but we don't exactly hang out... you know the kind. Anyway, those people have given me some inspiration lately. They also blog, and their blogs are inspiring. I want to be more like them in the way that they are focusing on the real important things in life and not letting the drama of the world around them affect them in negative ways. I admire these people and want to be more like them.

I have done pretty good throughout my life avoiding drama, but when people directly try to affect me I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want someone to be unhappy. It just doesn't make sense to me. Everyone deserves happiness, no matter your feelings toward them. And no one should strive to take away another's happiness.

Anyway, part of me kind of feels like this post is rambling too and fro.... But I think my point has been made.

I am going to do my best to continue to live my life and not let others affect me!

LOVE TO ALL!!!!
