I consider myself to be a positive person. When I open my eyes in the morning, the first thing I do is give thanks. I believe that gratitude is key in maintaining a glass-half-full mentality.
On social media I tend to project the best things about life because that is the type of culture I prefer to cultivate, but people need to know it’s okay to have bad days. I say that because too often I impose unrealistic expectations on myself—like always being patient during stressful situations—and it got me thinking on how I might come across to those who don’t know me outside of these interwebs.
It’s not that I portray a false persona, I just opt to announce my triumphs as opposed to my frustrations. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO FEEL, to be authentic to your emotions at any given time. It’s not healthy to force happiness, because that’s not real. So when I get all zen on your asses, know that that is most definitely real, but I DO curse, I get road rage, I lose my temper, I get discouraged. Not sharing more of that has less to do with shame or censorship and more to do with not wanting to air dirty laundry.
Something should also be said about creating your own environment. If you constantly talk about negative shit, you will attract a negative perspective. It’s not some new-age theory, it’s common sense. I strive to be a better woman every day and actively choose a mindset that encourages positive growth.
The point is, when we deviate off the path, it’s important take in the view on our way back. Just make sure you DO head back, no matter long it takes.
