Trying to look on the brighter side of things is harder than I thought it would be. Right now when I try, it is filled with sarcasm and no heart.
I had a great opportunity to see an old acquaintance. It's funny, I never considered this person a friend and can't remember the last time we actually hung out. But this person took such good care of me, basically a stranger. It made me believe in good people again. There are so many selfish people surrounding me; it is easy to follow their footsteps. Imitating their habits. I must remember this moment, being looked after and treated like I exist. Surrounding yourself with qualities you want to have should be the most important thing when looking for new friendships. But you should also treat everyone, no matter how impossible, how rude, how evil they are with the respect that you expect to get.
This is my new test. Holding back my tongue and thinking about others before myself.
