I'm trying a new thing. It's no surprise that I've been less than fun lately so I figured that a different point-of-view might do the trick. Allow me to demonstrate.
My mobile phone made a noice at 4:30am this morning due to low battery. That's a bad thing. I turned it off and got back to sleep. That's a good thing.
Let me take another.
The weather's quite dull and grey. Boring. On the good side it means that I can sit here without feeling guilty for not being outside and enjoying the sunshine.
You get the point right? Pros and cons? I read somewhere that it takes a lot more energy to be upset than to be happy. So now I'm making a choice. For every con I'm trying to see a pro. It's kinda like the "what-if-principle" I had when I went to high school and I'm not sure if I've ever told anyone about this so I hope you feel damn special! Anyway, I was on top of the world whenever I was at home or at school, but on my way between the two there was always someone popular and beautiful, so I used to think "what if I was her". After thinking this I realised that yes, in my head this girl might be all that, but she probably has issues of her own. She doesn't know the people I do and doesn't have the experiences I have.
Believe it or not, but that actually helped. So every time I feel like shit or wish I was someone else, I just think the counter-what-if. Say I was rich and famous - that'd be a pro and I wouldn't mind it right now, but that'd also mean that people would go through my trash and try to photograph me in my underwear, preferably while I'm at the loo. That'd be a con.
To make this short: positive thoughts. Starting now. Ooo breakfast...
