Beautiful High

Beautiful Mess #5:
I'm just along for the ride
Now matter how hard you try
Won't let your lows blow my
Beautiful high

Lately, I have found that I let people bring me down. Doesn't matter if they mean to or not. I'm letting the little things that other people do effect me. That's not fair for me.
Casey and I were just talking about this: how little things that don't directly effect me shouldn't bother my day. I need to learn to go with the flow more, instead of allowing little things to get in my way.

Just a Little Sunshine

Just thought this video would bring some sunshine to this cloudy Tuesday.

Misery Business

"Second chances, they don't ever matter
People never change.
Once a whore, you're nothing more
I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness
We're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up
Now look this way."
~Misery Business by Paramore

These lyrics mean a lot to me and it kind of goes back to one of my recent blog posts about Positive Impact. My dad has always told me that you should trust people's actions before you should trust their words. This has played a large role in my life recently as well. When someone in your life makes a mistake in your relationship with them and they vow to you that they are sorry and will change, that means nothing until they actually DO change. That leads me to another point: People don't change. If you are dating a guy and he cheats on you, he will continue to cheat on you whether or not he tells you he won't. An alcoholic is always an alcoholic, it's just whether or not they are practicing. The moral of this story is that someone who hurts you and promises to change is not having a positive impact on your life and will not change. Words and actions are two different things and it's the actions that you need to pay attention to.
