Happy Thursday! Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes right at all? It seems like I've been having a lot of those days recently. Maybe even some of those weeks. This isn't normal. I'm usually the girl who's in a pretty good mood, the girl who is genuinely smiling. I don't genuinely smile very much any more. And I honestly don't even know why. Maybe it's because it's snowing in May, maybe I've lost faith in humanity.
I listened to a heartbreaking interview on NPR with a father of one of the children killed in the Sandy Hook shooting. I saw a boy flip off a driver in the street. A guy in my grade called me two very mean names. Tonight an old lady was very rude to me. I never see people being nice any more. People (including myself) seem to be more selfish than ever. Is there something wrong with the world, or is it that I have a negative attitude about everything? I find myself thinking pessimistically, and bad things seem to happen to me. I get bad grades on tests, my skin breaks out, I gain weight, and it seems like I'm more alone day by day. Whenever I try to change my attitude, something else happens to bring me down. When does the cycle end?
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
