Let's Think Happy Thoughts

When I was a kid, I had this childish theory that whenever I feel happy, something unpleasant will happen next that will make me feel twice as sad. As a child, I thought that the onslaught might be less painful had I not been happy.

Thus, I became the ultimate life sucker! Oh yes, I can drain the life out of people around me. Take my mom for instance. During family gatherings, when the people were just starting to enjoy chatting with one another, I would suddenly sulk in one room, or sometimes cry, just because I refuse to join their merrymaking, and my mom would have to leave the others to console me, preventing her to enjoy the occassion.

It took me years to realize what a terrible idea it was! Not only did I prevent myself from enjoying my life at its fullest, I also kept others from being happy. I dwelt on sad thoughts, and I missed a lot.

I decided to put a stop to it. I realized that sad things really happen, but if I allow them to consume me, I wouldn't have anything left to live on. Besides, I didn't want to have wrinkles so early. From then on, I started living on the positive light. I began finding joy in every little thing I did, sharing happiness and love to everyone close to me. I accustomed myself to smile.

I want this to be the essense of my blog. I want to keep a log of everything that made me smile and made me feel good, for future reminiscings. I want to share my random thoughts with you and I want you to feel happy while reading it. I hope that this blog will serve its purpose well.
