It seems like the older a person gets, the more negitive they get about relationships. They seem to think that because theyve experienced so many bad ones, thats all that exists are bad relationships.
I believe that as longs as you stay positive about it, youll be more likely to have a positive relationship in the long run. And even if you dont, at least you can say you didnt miss out because of thinking that you could never have one.
I've been through a ton of crap in my life, and some days I do wakeup on the wrong side of the bed wishing my life never was and that everything could just go away. But, for the most part, 99% of the time I am in a great mood and its because I know I cant change what is now, but I CAN change what is to be... and I will. Believe it or not, Ive never had a point in my life where I could sit back and relax and tell myself everything is okay. So many people have that, and they dont even realize it. All these kids who have cars given to them when theyre 16... I'm driving a $1300 POS but it gets me around.
I'm getting off track... I know
I guess what I mean is its all about attitude. People who seem to be more negitive in their lives, and hate themselves and everything around them, attract more negitivity. Like my mother... shes been such a worrier that shes had health problems. Whereas, people who are more positive and want something for themselves, sure they go through a lot of crap, but they dont let it get them down, and in that process they earn what theyve deserved all along... good things. Besides people who love themselves dont take crap from anyone... they know whats good for them and they have standards for themselves.
There are just a lot of people who dont have standards..
