While I do not like my dad's I'll-be-dead-soon-so-I-don't-let-things-bother-me-anymore philosophy on life, I do however like when he says 'don't sweat the small stuff because it's all small stuff.'  Constantly thinking about that when something bothers me is really quite helpful.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about things, which is never a really good thing for me because when I think I tend to get in a funk for awhile.  But this time, my thinking was actually beneficial. 

I have decided that completely purging my life of things that haunt me and people who have hurt me is the best thing any one person can do for themselves. 

Sometimes--for me at least--letting go of people who I know have hurt me and don't deserve anything is the hardest thing to do.  But I have decided that I cannot let myself hold onto these people and things that I let haunt me.  It hurts more than anything should ever hurt me, and these things and people don't deserve to be that constant black cloud following me around. 

They're just not worth it.

I think realizing that some things just aren't worth it, is the most refreshing thing I have ever realized in my life.

i have news.

and i'm not telling you yet. :)

I am burnt out and I want to smile.

Or maybe i just want to cry.
