This year I want to be better. I mean honestly do people think I want to be bummed about stuff. I don't want to have to worry about paying bills because I'm not working. I have a very strong resume but still no job after a couple months. I was let go from a job due to some very shady unethical behavior on part of the administration. I'm glad to be gone but I can't say any of it happened at a good time. It really is my goal this year to make changes and to be an overall happier person and not be so hard on myself when things aren't perfect. One of the things I am going to do is give dating a little break. I was getting super negative and annoyed with dating and finding a good guy so I just want to take a step back. I don't choose to be a perfectionist, it's something I have always been and it's something that has always brought me down if I am not doing as good as I need to be doing. I'm going to change and be better!!

A good friend of mine recently wrote, "No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."
My response: "Yeah, but no pessimist ever lost their life savings betting on a horse, either."
There's nothing wrong with you.
What's wrong is the notion everyone needs to be "positive" all the time, as if happiness were some perpetual state you could will yourself into.
It isn't.
Life is messy. Throughout it you will be, by turns, elated or miserable, anxious or content, confident or fearful, excited or frustrated, hopeful or dejected. It's all part of the ride, and you're on it.
I completely agree...positive can't be a forever feeling. I need to be real and honest sometimes. Some people just don't respect that.
I often find myself feeling emotionally dysfunctional...and I think giving dating a break is a great idea! People don't understand how dating really wears on you! Good luck with trying to change and be better!
Justajenn- Thanks for the good luck I definitely need it! Dating & being unemployed really wears on a person and sometimes you can't just be happy all the time.
BTW checked out your blog and I will be following!!
When placed in a bad situation or a series of bad situations most people probably would become negative, it's easy to be positive when everything's going your way, but it's during the difficult times that we have to make a conscious effort to be optimistic, and remember that things could always be worse than what they are
Wardell you're 100% right. It's important to find the positivity in the tough times. But I think it's also ok to be bummed and friends just have to be there and not give someone stress for the few bad times they have.
