Sometimes we find that it's not so easy to find the positive things in life. Something bad happens, and that's literally all we can think about. It's perfectly fine to be negative sometimes because it's just natural in a difficult situation. Our emotions get altered. That bad situation that happened can cause stress, anger, pain, anxiety, etc. But from what I've learned, you also do need to stay positive in difficult situations.

If you let the negativity take over your thoughts and actions, you can find that it's hard to get back to that. We need more positivity in the world. We can't let the negativity win. If we surrender to all the bad things in life and focus on the negatives, we are defeated. And that's not what we should be doing in life. We're not going to stay defeated, we want to be winners. We want to be happy. So why does negativity still linger whenever something bad happens? Why can't we just stay positive?

It's not that easy. For me personally, I strive to look for the positives in a difficult situation so I don't let the negativity take over. We shouldn't quit and throw in the towel and let the negativity take over. We need to give positivity that extra boost.

It's hard, but not impossible and we should all strive to be more positive in life and ignore the negativity. Be the first to spread the positivity when something goes wrong. Remind yourself that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know that reason. Remind yourself that it's just a small set back and keep on going, it will get better. Even if you are the only one who stays positive, that's just one step closer to making this world a little more positive, despite the tragedy that happens.Go out there and spread that happiness!

Stay Positive, Friends! It does in fact get better!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
