Why dont you like yourself?

(this one is important: this is my introduction)
so it seems to me, that we try way too hard to be pained souls.
We focus [so] much on all of the sad and the hurt
in our lives, that we virtually begin to believe
that ACTUALLY being happy is next to impossible.
Everyone gets sad, and everyone gets put through messed
up situations – which doesn’t lessen their severity – but it
does make it more tolerable to know that while
you’re hurting, you’re not alone.
We spend way too much time wading around in the mud
soaking up all the crappy situations that we forget. There are
good situations too! *its ok to be happy, its ok to have
it all figured out, and its ok to move on*
Because really, what we’re doing is using so much energy being
sad, and the victim, when we could just as easily use that energy to look for the good and be happy.

All im saying is that its just as easy to be happy as
it is to be sad.

Its all in how you look at things, because, although you cant control the
situations handed to you, you can however, control the way you deal with them.
