Think About The Positive

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great week! My week was filled with numerous projects and confusion about #thedress, also negative thoughts. I had been so stressed about school and the future that I had a break down. Thankfully, my mom was there to comfort me. She was surprised that I was upset, she's always described me as her "glass that is overflowing," meaning I'm always happy. She was really surprised that I had been feeling down lately about a lot of things. I told her how I feel so inferior to other kids at my school. There are some true geniuses at my school. I was also upset about my ACT score and how I feel like I've wasted so much time in my life that I could have used to my advantage. I've been so concerned about the future and that I won't have the life I've dreamed about. I finally confided to my mom about my recent emotions. She really reassured me that everything will turn out alright. She said I shouldn't be worried about the future. I should gaze at it with excitement because of all the possibilities life is granting me. My mom told me that it does not matter what my occupation in life is. The only thing I should aim to be is happy. Happiness is the key to a wonderful life. She also told me that there are some smart kids at school, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be proud of my own school achievements. I could tell from the conversation she had with me, that she truly believes in me. She's given me so much confidence in myself and I'm extremely blessed to have a mother like her. My reason for posting this? I know I'm not the only kid who worries about the future. If you are stressing out like I was, just remember that life is going to through obstacles in your path. However, you shouldn't let these obstacles stop you from gaining the happiness you want out of life. Do what makes you happy, and everything else will fall into place. I believe in you. Remember to focus on the positive in life and detox yourself from the negative. It's the best way to live. Watch out for more posts coming this weekend! All the Love -Kate
