I wish i could make everyone's problems disappear

if there's one thing i learned in 18 years & 4 months of my life, it's that you can never give too much love. as cheesy as it sounds, it's always best to just keep on bringing the love into life. the worst thing anyone can do is feed negative energy with more negative energy. i'm trying this new thing for this year and for the future: positive reinforcement.

even though i know this will never end, i am so sick of people saying shitty things about themselves, the things they can't do, the tasks they can't accomplish, the things they can't be. stop bringing yourselves down, you're here for a reason and everyone has something to offer in life. a student in iran recently sacrificed his life by stopping a suicide bomber, just an average kid at an average school. he was there for a reason, both him and the suicide bomber died -- no one else. if he didn't stop it, maybe it would have been a disaster. even so, this is a prime example of why people should stop believing that they are so unimportant. 

anytime someone says something negative, i just want to do my best to either ignore it, or turn it around by saying  something happy, positive, or even just neutral. everyone deserves to smile and be happy. i don't want to force happiness on everyone, i just want people to know that it's just one life, there will be a billion more to come for us, and our souls have unlimited time to figure out time and space and the universe.

sometimes i think, if people just stop, close their eyes, and take five deep breaths, they will realize how miniature their problems are. all that really matters is love, positive energy, and the friendships that form from both of those aspects.
