Choice

Someone asked me the other day if I hated anyone. Because I always seem so happy and pleased to meet people and friendly. The truth is of course, there are people I prefer not to be around so I don't put myself around them and therefore I can keep up my high energy and happy spirits. I think so many people surround themselves with friends that aren't really friends, fake people, mean people and for what? Because they think they have to? The truth is we don't have to. I don't have to. 


So I don't and I make a conscious choice to avoid situations that could make me uncomfortable, sad, or angry. And of course, I'm not some robot who is always happy, I experience jealousy, fear and anger as much as the next person...but I share that stuff with my closest friends and boyfriend- not any random crowd. If I am in a room with someone I don't agree with I stay away. I'm not rude, or overly nice, or superficial, I just ignore them. That way I save all my energy to have fun and enjoy the night rather than being that drunk girl crying in the bathroom (though we've all been there). 


My mom always said this great thing when I was growing up and she still reminds me now. Happiness is a choice. And it's not always the easiest choice but you are in control of how you interact with the world, so why not enjoy it. 


That is my little Monday blurb. Have a great week. xo

Or frolic in wheat fields and you'll feel happy :)
