I stumbled upon Wayne Dyer one day out of boredom. I was watching PBS (out of boredom, people) and he was holding a live seminar on TV. At first, I thought, "Ugh, another religious sermon." But then I really got into it. Everything he said was the truth! Every word out of his mouth appealed to me; he made me look at the world with brand new eyes. (Yes, like the Paramore album.) He truly is genius. He looks at the world in an optimistic, yet realistic way, without sounding harsh or too realistic. He sounds real and I believe he words he says.
Recently, I have been going through some friend drama. And I realized, teenagers thrive on drama. All I wanted to talk about was my drama. I was so ecstatic to finally be the victim; to finally have the whole world on my side. And it's true, the other person was in the wrong, but I should never have looked at the scenario like that. Yes, attention is good. But using it for the wrong reasons is not good.
Although this drama has cost me one less friend, I truly think it was for the better. What did I learn? How am I different? Has he/she learned anything? Am I "better off" without this person in my life? I always ask myself these questions whenever I go through something that has the potential to be a life lesson. This time, I definitely learned who to pick as friends and who to leave as acquaintances. Some people might be good to share your weekend gossip with and gush about your crushes, and other people might be better for when you're experiencing life-changing situations. You have to learn who to give your trust to. Because if you give it to the wrong people, they may end up using it against you.
But, enough about drama! The sun is out, the snow is melting, and I am in the mood for a revelation! I need change! My goal this month is to try new hair and makeup tips, and maybe sport some long-awaited fashion sense! My advice for all you readers: try something new. Live and let live. Try something you have been wanting to try for a long time. Step outside of your comfort zone. Because I promise, when you do, it will definitely be worth it!!! :)
For now,
B.
