I want to talk about something. I'm not quite sure how to say it so I'm just going to lay it out there.
I'm done with people who bring negative energy into my sphere of life. Done. I'm sick of all the haterrrrzzz. Just kidding, I don't really have haters. I've just noticed that I feel different around different people. Some people get me really hyped up and excited and in love with life. And others get me down, and insecure and I just want to go hide in a closet somewhere. I've come to the conclusion that I need to remove myself from those people.
I think we can still be a good friend and be there for someone when they really need us, but that doesn't mean they have to be in our every day life. I'm all about forgiveness and loving people unconditionally, but I've come to realize it shouldn't be at the sacrifice of your own sanity and happiness.
This is reason number 303480120 for why I'm soooo sososososo grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission. With preparing for it my perspective on things has changed so much. It's given me the strength and faith to say, Hmm I don't like this so I'm going to change it. Even it's scary. Because it is scary to walk away from somebody who has been such a big part of your life.
Something else I've learned from this situation is that I know who I am and so does Heavenly Father. If I'm accused of being a certain way and I know that I'm really not that way, I shouldn't allow what that person says about me bring me down. I shouldn't second guess myself or my abilities. I know who I am. I know how I act. I know what I think. I know what I feel. I hate being misunderstood, but sometimes it's inevitable. Even if you try to explain yourself, that doesn't mean the other person will take that into consideration. That doesn't mean that they even care what you have to say. You can't control what people think, do or say BUT you can control what YOU think, do or say. That's something huge that I've learned over and over. People are going to do what they want. You can't help that. You can't control that. You can control yourself. You can control whether you're going to allow it to bring you down or take it as a lesson learned to make you stronger. You can choose to let it be and walk away.
I've chosen to be a happy person. I've chosen to be kind. I've chosen to see the good in all situations. I've chosen to laugh and have fun.
That's what life is all about. Enough with the negativity. Brush it off and keep pressing forward.
