I wanted to share my recent decision regarding my writing practice. For some time, I have been interested in keeping a journal to reflect on my thoughts and experiences. However, I have not yet purchased a physical journal. Instead, I have chosen to write blogs as a means of expression.
I was encouraged by my friend Jessica to write more blogs. This shift allows me to articulate my thoughts more effectively, especially during moments when I feel alone and face darker emotions. While I strive to maintain a positive demeanor in public, blogging provides me with a valuable outlet to process my feelings and maintain a sense of control over my mental state.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to sharing my journey through my website.
Here it goes:
Reflection on Personal Growth and Positivity
Over the past few weeks, I have come to realize that many situations are not worth getting upset over. Life presents challenges, and we have the choice to either learn from them or find ways to cope. I acknowledge that I have allowed certain individuals to affect my peace for too long.
Interestingly, I have found that demonstrating kindness can provoke anger in others, which is both unexpected and unfortunate. I choose to embrace a mindset of letting go: allowing others to harbor bitterness or express negativity does not define my worth. Instead, I recognize that their feelings are theirs to manage, and I will not let their bitterness impact my happiness.
Despite the difficulties I am currently facing, I am actively engaging in a practice that I used to share with Alyssa. I approach random individuals and wish them a good day, a tradition that brought us joy and fostered connection. This practice not only honors our shared experiences but also reinforces my commitment to positivity in challenging times.
In summary, I embrace a philosophy of positivity, resilience, and kindness, recognizing that these qualities are essential for personal well-being in the face of adversity. Letting others be bitter is their choice, and I will continue to focus on what uplifts and inspires me.
