I often wonder what causes people to feel the way they feel; angry, ecstatic, depressed, or any other array of a thousand different emotions. More then anything though, I always wonder what causes people to be unhappy when there is no reason to be unhappy. We, as humans, too often get ourselves worked up over nothing, stressed over something easily solved or unimportant, fall into these self-created funks where we feel unwanted, unhappy, and unlike ourselves.

I'm going to get to the point.

You are responsible for your own happiness. You control what you do. I believe that was a Machiavellian principal, that you control fifty percent of the worlds actions; fifty percent of actions are yours, fifty percent are those of other people.

look at that face.
imagine yourself with that face.
that face is full of hurt, pain, loss.

look at those eyes.
imagine yourself with those eyes.
those eys are full of life, love, hope.
faith.

Because soemthing doesn't go right, does not mean life is over. You've been blessed with your life on earth, and you should live it as such.
I think.
