Positives and Negatives

The Positive and Negative;
A big part of science, and a big part of Life!

Something a really good friend of mine said to me...
(Yes Joshy [Joshua Mezieres], I mean You! hehe...)
Although I didn't realise it then, I know he's always been right!

If you think positive, good things can happen.
Think negative, bad things can happen!

In fact, Studies have shown that having a positive outlook on life is contagious!
You can make people around you feel Great!
Unfortunately, negative thinking is contagious too!!!

Its best in life to look at things in a positive way rather than being so negative!
Sometimes, we just don't realise...!
Sure! Things don't always end up the way you want them to...
But it's best to forget about everything horrible and look at the silver lining!
The silver lining; The bright side of things!
Sometimes, we forget to do that... and end up miserable!!!
And I myself am GLAD I ended up listening to Josh in the end!

Sometimes I walk around and realise how negative everyone can be!
HECK!!! Even ME sometimes!!!
This negativity has made me realise you can't run from your problems.
You gotta stay positive and run ryt at them!

Its how i survived!!!
Join Me? (",)

XOXOXO

One Last Cry

Saying goodbye isn't the hard part,
It's what we leave behind that's tough.
Goodbyes make you think,
They make you realize what you've had,
What you've lost,
And what you've taken for granted...

Sometimes you have to let go of someone,
To see if there's anything there to hold on to.
I don't want to wake up and realize,
What i was dreaming was right in front of my shut eyes.
I don't want to stop saying hellos,
For fear of saying Goodbyes.

Don't wanna let this go,
Having pretended to not be affected.
But im sure you know what you're doing,
So it's better to let it go, than to neglect it...
Somehow i know, i'l get this right,
But for now, just let me cry...

I know i gotta be strong,
Coz around me life goes on...
I'm sure this will all be better again,
Not sure quite where and don't know just when.
You're in my heart, so untill then,
Wanna smile, Wanna cry... Saying Goodbye.

Brian McKnight:
"Nothing Left for me to do...
But have one last cry,
One more chance to shed a tear or two,
Before I leave it all behind.
I gotta put this outa my mind for the very last time,
Been living a lie...
I guess i'm down to my last cry.

I'm gonna dry my eyes...
Right after I've had,
My One Last Cry..."

So This Is It...

It's pretty appropriate and actually kinda cool to listen to this while you read the note...
it kinda matches...

So this is it...
Its time to move on.
Never dreamed it'd come so soon,
But It was expected to happen someday.

Time passes by and people move forward,
Hard to believe how quickly change comes.
Challenges Erupt and things change,
Sometimes the best thing to do is accept it.

No matter the hardships,
No matter the toughness of a challenge,
The Endless patch of sky
Sees us all through the road we call life.

Time passes quickly when you want it to remain still,
And oh too slowly when toughness rears.
Tears fall, minutes pass, but soon you find you'll be fine.
Getting over it may be hard, but depression is just a state of mind.
Relationships may come and go, but friendship never ends.
So though a relationship has been broken,
Hopefully the closeness of the friendship wont disappear...
Moving on is tough but possible, and I'm not gonna be held down.
Rising up is the only thing that can conquer deep waters,
Finding the right things to say and do is all we have left.
Sometimes things come into play that people wish would just disappear.
And you feel like bit by bit, everything is falling apart.
But sometimes the only way to get rid of them is to deal...
And eventually we come to find that the faster you move on,
The faster things seem to pull themselves back together,
And life moves on as planned.

Times and troubles come then cease.
Things change, people move on.
With happiness, your sorrows decrease.
With hardship, will grows strong.

So sometimes you'd think things just aren't going your way.
If you stop to think about it, you find how much deeper it really is...
When things get to you, and haven't sunk in yet,
It hurts, it shocks, you cry, you pity yourself, but is that necessary?
If you take a step back an think more deeply,
You come to realise that though this is tough
and though it hurts and burns for now,
in the long run, it was just a small change
so as to make room for the greatness that follows.
Maybe that's just the way it was supposed to end up,
so something better could emerge.
The end of a hard and tough relationship,
the beginning of another amazing and strong friendship.

So sometimes you get down in the dumps.
hey we're only human.
but as we all should learn, life moves on,
and we should never let it move without us.
sometimes, all you need is a great friend
there with you to help you get through it.
~[thank you Nadia (Mnthali)! Love you! You too, Shayne(Anderson)! And thank u so much Kgotla (Rannoba) and especially Josh (Mezieres)! I love u guys like crazy!!! mxwah!!!]~

A close friend told me... (Yes i mean you, Nadia!)
"Don't let one small change ruin the rest of your life.
As you go over a bridge it stands strong
as long as all the bricks are in place.
If one single brick is forced to be left behind and let loose,
the whole bride falls apart..."
None of us should ever let that be us.

One day we all will learn...
That moving on is the best way to stay happy.
Sure change is tough, but sometimes necessary.
And soon one day we'll all find ourselves saying...
"So This Is It...!"

And i guess... Today just happened to be my day to say it...

A Few Things To Think About

Sometimes I look at my life now and think of how truly Amazing it is despite all the problems I might have to overcome. And I think to myself how I never want that to change... or to end... And sometimes I feel like I really don't wanna move on when life needs change. And that i dnt wanna let go of what my life is like right now, and all the things and people i hold dear. Scared that with the changes in lyf, they get pulled away from me by the many stages in our lives. And at times I think to myself how much I just wanna hold on to it all forever.

Then I take a step back from all my fears and pull myself back to earth and think about it more clearly. And I realise how it would be the worst mistake I could make to hold on too tight... or else something that was born to fly myt just die.

A quote I really love from one of my favourite shows;

"The tighter you hold onto something,

Especially something that needs change and growth,

The more great a chance you stand at losing it."

[*I Think At One Point In Time, I Had To Learn That The Hard Way*]

Same show, new quotes (that I love and live by);

"But if you let it go, if you let it fly
At the time it most desperately needs to,
well... there's a dam good chance it may come back to you!"

"Maybe life is like a cross-country road trip.
You can get so focused on the enormity of the mission ahead,
Of staring straight out into the expansive road,
That you fail to notice the stuff you're passing by right at that moment!"

"There is a big difference between the things we want and the things we wish for!
The things we want... are usually... pretty superficial;
A new outfit, and invitation to some cool kid's party...
But when we dare to make a wish,
It's usually for something more important... and sometimes... more illusive!
The kind of thing that you really can't control but that u hope will come true!
Like... holding on to your Best Friends Forever,
Or seeing someone you Love show up at your graduation!"

Sometimes life really is just out of our control...
But during those moments that life is uncontrollable, you look back to realise that those few uncontrollable seconds were probably one of the best moments of your entire life.
Because... When something goes wrong, its always possible to take things under control to make them better, no matter how difficult that may be, it's still possible.
But when life is getting to such a point, to such a climax in your life, when everything just explodes in a burst of Amazing clarity. You may not notice at the time how in that moment, something great happened... Its always good to look through everything you do clearly to see if you missed a small yet so important aspect of that moment, so as to never miss anything like it again. And yet... we look back so we can complain about all the bad things that have happened to us rather than looking at how much more good stuff has been thrown into our paths!

And I start to tell myself how... no matter how far apart my closest companions and I get, i can never lose sight of them as long as they are in my heart! And that though change is hard, its necessary. And in time you realise that, indeed, the change was for the better! So... I learnt that no matter how bad I think things are going to end up, I remind myself of the people around me, the people who care and who have made a difference in my life! And I Know for Sure, That My Life has been, Is and Will Always Be...
Amazing!

well... this isn't everyone who's made a diff in my life. Just the ones i managed to fit into one pic... hehehe! Otherwise, it'd be a REALLY big pic. lol! :P

XOXOXO
