New beginnings

New year, new semester, new beginnings. Now that I'm back in school, I'm getting back into the swing of work, school, eat (usually), homework, and (sort of) sleep. Typical college life. Anyway.

I've come to realize that even through life's difficulties and troubles, it's important to find hope. Sometimes life can be really hard, and it can seem like all hope is gone and it feels like all that's left to do is be miserable. Misery is not the answer to hard times. Bluntly, it is selfish to indulge oneself in self-pity. I would encourage anyone feeling miserable to find a small ray of hope. Even the tiniest thing can grow into so much more. A happy memory, a pretty butterfly, helping out a friend, any little thing to get the mind off of the overwhelming sadness that comes with hard times. Find a reason, any reason at all, that could deserve a smile, and focus on it.

The world can be a better place if you change your point of view.
