I have purchased “The Secret” to help me with my pessimistic ways. I have also taken an online test… with bad results. And I am studing the enneagram to help me find myself.

Man, I still over think stuff.

I don’t know, I just do it. Unintentionally of course.

But, I’m not that shy anymore.

That’s a plus.

Tommorow’s college orientation. It will go out fine. I will meet my old friends, re connect, and talk with new ones.

I’ll be confident.

Everything’ll be alright. And I wont worry about a thing. :)

I somewhat realize that I have negative outlook or that I’m mostly down in the dumps because of the things I keep feeding my mind, the media, the music, etc, etc. All the minor melodies, all the low light setting, it’s like I like sitting in the dark, even with my speech, sometimes its all gray. So, I am deciding that I will filter those thing out and fill it with more upbeat, major keys, sun shines and bright lights, smiles and directness. No more shades of gray.

I really have to let go of some things in order to be happy.

one of those thing is a lady I fell in love with because of her face, her smile, her soul, her words and her thought that I encounter in a blog. It ridiculous because she doesn’t care a bit about me at all, and I’m just so hard headed about it. Its stupid, foolish, and it making me pessimistic and all sort of negative emotions.

I wish to get rid of this stupidity and be happy once again.

I would like to be optimistic or upbeat because its a positive and healthy mindset.

I still have negative thoughts and habits but hopefully by becoming aware of this negative mindset and having a desire to change will help me to achieve this goal.

It's tough... 16 months ago

For me to be optimistic, when I am so naturally a pessimist. I think I fancy myself particularly sharp, or something, when I point out the fly in the milk, and I think of optimism as settling for lower standards, or allowing yourself to be happy without justification.

But really it isn’t that at all. Optimism is being able to rise above all the small stuff, allowing yourself to be happy, and just plain letting go and loving life.

I really, really hope I can get there.
