Inside My Head: Part II
Power of Positivity

I don’t see the point in anger, or hatred. I also don’t understand how some people can be so cruel that hatred has become such a well known thing. In 2001 three airplanes were hijacked, and set out to crash into 3 major buildings in The United States. How can anyone be so spiteful to set out to ruin so many innocent lives? What can cause that kind of anger within someone? How can anyone ruin so many lives, take away a child’s parents so easily? What instills such a thing within someone that they feel they have no option other than to cause total destruction of ones life. So many children were left without parents that day, and so many parents were left without children. So many people had to call their loved ones from those planes and say goodbye to them for what they thought would be forever, for some that actually became a reality. Can you imagine having to keep the same recording of your husband’s voice on an answering machine for years just so you can go back and listen to them telling you that they love you one last time? Can you imagine a love so deep that you’d use your very last breath and living moment on this earth to call them and tell them how much they mean to you even if you don’t know how many seconds you have left. Can you imagine growing up without a parent because out of anger, and jealousy, and hatred, someone took their life from you when you were only five years old? Can you imagine being that child’s parent and having to explain to your child when they get older and can finally understand what happened why they grew up without a father? Or a mother? Or in some cases, both. It is so easy to let anger define us.

It is so easy to let all of the happiness that we worked so hard for go, and to turn all of your emotions into anger. It is easier to be angry than it is to be happy. Most of the time happiness has to be worked for, and there aren’t many people who feel the need to search for such a thing. People throw their lives into their jobs, or into their school work, and often forget to stop and step back and become aware of all of the wonderful things in life that so often go unseen. I understand that life is busy and hectic, and not everyone has the opportunity to seek happiness in the ways that others do, but there is happiness out there for everyone. I’d like to believe that at least. Life isn’t always going to go the way that we expect it to but we can’t just sit back and let it walk all over us. Everyone deserves some kind of happiness in their life, whether that be with a relationship, or a family, or a job promotion, or traveling the world. Everyone is different. Everyone has different wants and needs. I cannot write what your happiness may be, but I can tell you to go out and find it. Living a life full of anger and misery is not what anyone intended for you during your time on this earth. Make your life what you want it to be.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
