I love you. Doesn’t matter who you are, it does not matter how I know you. I love you. I love you for your humanity, for your intelligence, for your strength, for your weaknesses, for your heart and soul. I love you for being. Why are we so very frightened to say these words? When did the notion of love become so complicated? Why is love broken down into so many subdivisions and categories and so full of stipulations and
Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. This is not as daunting as it may first appear. We are bombarded daily with negativity. Some is intentional, aimed at causing us fear and distress in an effort to control us. More often, though, it’s unintentional, like a friend trying to share with us a situation that is in need of attention, but is infuriating. We cannot avoid, ignore, or neglect these things.

I am determined to find Positivity. Negativity is everywhere. Like, wow, this is so overwhelming how inundated by negative messages we are right now.

It is important that we recognize we are only human, and forgive ourselves when we are less-than-perfect. Thing is, everyone is perfectly themselves, and as such perfectly imperfect.
You get to choose how you perceive the world. Do you perceive this world as a place of terror, of agony, of hopelessness and sadness? Or do you see this world as a place of possibility, of joy, of hope and happiness? Yes, I cannot deny that bad things happen in the world.

Everybody needs a chance to rest. Whether it is merely a few minutes, a night, or an extended vacation, rest is essential to our wellbeing. We might have things that need to be done frequently, but we still need to rest and relax from time to time. Despite negative connotations in the idea of rest, such as slacking off or laziness or other similar perceptions, there is enormous positivity in resting. Resting allows us to change our focus. Resting allows
We all need to take a break. I am walking my path on a regular basis, but once in a while there just needs to be a break. More than a break, however, I need to withdraw. This can come in a number of forms. I might take the time to meditate, I might read a book, I might work on some other project that makes me happy. I could go on a hike or hit the gym or attend
