It is not healthy to have a crush on Attila the Hun...

I have decided to stop being depressed. It's funny...I tried to be happy before, but it took me until today to figure how.
I was listening to a couple of girls in activity complain about the DUMBEST things and saying their lives suck. Well, you know what? Your life doesn't have to suck. You have the power to make your life whatever you want it to be. Sure, things may not turn out the way you want them to, but you don't have to look at it that way.
If you got a B on your test and you REALLY wanted an A, just think: You coulda flunked it.
If someone you like doesn't like you back, just think: Hell, he/she don't know what he/she's missin'.
If people start saying things about you or bringing you down, just think: Wow. They must be blind if they can't see how frickin' sweet I am.
Look past all the violence, disease, hate, etc and see the awesomeness of the world. See the beauty in every raindrop or the sound the leaves make in the wind. It may sound cliche, but it works. And if you're pissed or sad, don't be afraid to yell or cry, especially to your friends. That's their purpose: To put up with you. And maybe some day you can return the favor.
And don't think you NEED anybody: it doesn't hurt to have somebody. If your man/woman leaves you, they weren't happy, which means that you weren't/won't be happy. Don't lose all hope because "the one" wasn't the one.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to end- It's about learning to dance in the rain.
