Positivity; Kindness; Happiness;
These three words, though seeming simple enough, when combined equal a state of contentment that I am in pursuit of currently. At the age of 20, I have lived a fairly exciting and privileged life. However, these past 8 months have been the toughest months I have personally ever experienced. I found myself in a state of suppression that I had never been near to feeling before. Even dancing, a passion of mine since the age of three became a chore as opposed to a joy. The worse part? That almost every pain or negative emotion I felt was directly started or highly contributed by another person.
Only in regaining some of my logic did I realize this to be the case. The way that people behave towards others can have such a large impact on so many different people's lives. As humanity, we tend to be careless with our words and our demonstrations of feeling. However, with this new conclusion of being a victim and an antagonist, I still felt miserable.
To this came an epiphany. And it may sound simple when I relate it in writing, but it has honestly begun to change my entire outlook on life. Dwelling on the negative, only makes you feel likewise. So why am I spending so much time focusing on these past 8 months, when the large amount of my life has been full of the complete opposite; Kindness and the hope for humanity. Yes, a large amount of people do a large amount of horrific things. However, I like to think that an even larger amount, do things way more powerful, because they initiate from compassion and love; From one heart to another.
Therefore, in my pursuit of contentedness and my want to pass on the love I have been given for the vast majority of my life, I have created this blog. The blog in short, will be a collection of good deeds that have been done for me, that I have done, or that I have had the joy of witnessing. Hopefully, if this blog achieves nothing else, it will at least begin to make someone who happens upon it to find the positive, the kindness, and the happiness in this world.
