My grandpa always used to say chivalry wasn't dead. But grandpa was wrong. Chivalry was my grandpa's dog that died when grandpa was a child. Chivalry was SO dead. Needless to say, grandpa wasn't all there.
Okay, so that's not a true story at all; however, I think it shows how clever I am. I'm so funny.
Right, so that whole taking things day by day thing? I've had better days. Also, I've had much worse days. Things are never so bad as they seem, and they don't really even seem that bad. Optimism... I think it's one of those things that gets a person through life. How can anything make you unhappy if you see the best in everything. That's me. I see so much good in everyone I know. The people I know are incredible. They really are. And all of the good things about them are so much more amazing and extraordinary than any negative trait they could ever have.
If you can make me smile, you are a gift from God. If I can't be mad at you, it's because you bring so much happiness into my life. If you are my friend, I would lay down my world for you. And I'm so passionate and serious about how much the people around me mean to me. So much of who I am goes into them.
Maybe too much.
My emotions are dependent a large amount on the emotions of those around me. If you're happy, I'm going to be happy. If you're sad, I'm going to sad that your sad. If you're angry, I'm going to feel for you and wonder what I can do to help you smile.
Because of this, I've learned that I have to not throw my emotions into the relationships I make with my friends right away. I cannot function as an unhappy person. I need to smile. God, I can't help but smile. So, if you're my friend, be happy with me. We'll get slushies and watch drunk people downtown. We'll build ant fortresses out of dry grass and refried beans.
I love having amazing friends. I would be nowhere without them. Oh Lord, I'm being ridiculously sappy. That's a new annoying trend in my writing. I'll try to remedy that soon.
