Positivity changing the world.

 I grew up in a broken house with some pretty wacky family. I have had terrible occurrences in my life. I've been through everything you could imagine. My sister passed away tragically a couple years ago, I've spent most of my life having an autoimmune disease that will effect my health forever, watching my parents divorce and fall in love with other people, seeing physical abuse first hand, being cheated on, hearing about a good friend dying on the news, etc. At one point, I had been seeing several therapists and I had felt like nothing was helping. 

After attending hundreds of therapy and doctors appointments, I came to the realization that I was the only person that could help me. I learned by myself that when you see the world glass half full, that's what it becomes. Most states of sadness, loneliness, anger, are all in your own head. Once I finally realized this, I started on my new motivation journey. I started waking up earlier and dressing prettier to make myself feel better. I started doing my homework more so I could feel proud of myself. I was nicer to people so they would be nicer back. if I had ever felt like a mental break down was coming, I would sit in the mirror and talk to myself. (weird right). But when you sit there and tell yourself that everything is going to be okay, and all the bad will pass, you start to believe it. 

Part of me had also realized that you truly are the people you hangout with. if you are friends with something who thinks it's funny to be rude, you become a person who believes that too. When you're nice to someone, you feel rewarded. I started hanging around people who were always kind. I limited myself to a smaller group of friends because when you're part of a big friend group, it's easy to feel less than or left out. I damaged my own mental health to be part of the cool girls who picked on people and got satisfaction from being rude. If you switch to a positive mindset, it can change your life for amazing things. I gained such an amazing relationship with my parents and sibling, my relationship with my boyfriend became the healthiest thing of my life, I got better at school and figured out my dream in college. This all changed because one day I woke up and decided to love the person I was while spreading more positivity.
