Valentine's Day approaches, and the day of over-exaggerated feelings and commercial love products is put into the spotlight. It's all so wonderful, isn't it? For us single people, we prefer to curl up on the couch, eat chocolate, and watch romantic comedies where the girl always gets the boy! OH, how it is terrible and sickly, yet somehow we can not stop the feeling of loving the movies, because they are ten times better than reality sometimes. But if you are anything like me, you will find any way to make life just like the movies, and relieve the stress and crap from everyday life.
How do I handle times like this, with the social pressure to admit my spontaneous love to someone with song and dance? Well, let me tell you in this song! Just kidding, I have been doing yoga, for a while, my friend, Clara showed me to a yoga class, and I absolutely fell in love. I have not been able to go back, but I religiously do it in my house mornings and nights with a woman who posts videos and classes online. I also meditate regularly or when I am able to after yoga, which relieves stress, and gives me the ability to clear my mind even for a mere five minutes, which can take a weeks' worth of stress off.
I created this blog also, I've always dreamt of having a blog where I could post little stories or thoughts, or advice, and people could comment, and life would be happy! ha, just kidding. Truth is, that is not the only thing that makes me the almost constant happy person I am today, minus the background depressive annoyances every now and then.
Over the summer, my one of my best friends, Emma, showed me to a new religion, or really, a way of improving myself, and to keep myself positive and happy. It is not a faith to anyone, just a faith to myself, and one where I can focus all my energy on keeping myself healthy, as well as my family, friends, and peers. I was completely changed by it, and now I am more, at peace with myself and the world. Thanks to her, I am sure I would be more gossip-like, as well as harbor lots of anger.
I believe that all people are good, whether they outwardly show it or not, it just takes the right person to bring it out of them. So if you are reading this, and I bore you, at least bring one thing out of this; always think of the good in every person you see, even your worst enemy. Someday, you might have no one, and because you showed a bit of caring, they might be there for you.
Oh, and by the way, a great movie to watch on the fourteenth is The Wedding Date, starring Debra Messing, partnered with mint chocolate-chip ice cream, if you can have that. Happy Valentine's Day!
