It's been a long time since I last updated here on the blog. No, I wasn't dead I was just busy working and going to school but I was also busy living truly and freely for the first time in a really long time. While I was gone I learned a lot about myself and life in general, I had real face to face conversations and left my phone on silent more often then not, and met some really cool people who I hadn't realized were as down to earth and just kind-hearted people until I started TALKING to them.
It wasn't until a couple sundays ago when I was in the car with a friend, that I hadn't really talked to in almost two years, that this train of thought hit me. It was the thought of how someone could still be so sweet and kind but was still able to be strong and not rude at all. While in high school you quickly learn that lots of kids and even adults (I'm not saying all do but there are plenty of them that do) treat others in a rude manner in order to get there point across and don't bother listening to the other person's point of view before getting angry and upset. Even though you regularly here it stressed to be nice and polite to other people, it is so rarely the case of what actually happens. It struck me then, that I wasn't fully living up to that standard either, to let people make their point before I judged them for the kind of person they were based on a quick and hasty analysis and that I needed to make a change myself.
So I made a pact that from that day on I would try my best to just try and spread love and happiness in the world instead of hatred and to listen to people before judging their character. While I know there are plenty of people I won't always get along with or like very much and that there will be bad days I am trying my best to be the best person I can be. To try my best to stay away from negative people and surround myself with positivity and be strong because that is the kind of person I want to be. The one whose smiling and finally listening to that old saying her mom always told her growing up, "Treat people the way you want to be treated". I'm sending you all, love and good vibes. I know its only been a few weeks since that car ride but I know this will be a change for good.
See you soon.
Love,
Jackie
