One of my stand out personality traits, or I'd probably particularly call this a character trait, anyway is not being able to accept things. It doesn't happen with everything, sometimes not even with big occurrences. Sometimes someone in my life could speak to me a certain way and I have trouble accepting and understanding how they could have that tone or attitude with me. It's stupid but it comes out of habit and
I sometimes like to attach the "I can't help how I feel" cop-out statement to each of my feelings whenever I have trouble accepting that in life things just happen. It's how you deal with them that provokes you to show some strength and courage forcing
you to either hold on to your disappointment or allowing you to decide to let go. Even this past week I've been battling with the idea that I've lost the passions I used to hold close to me or I didn't necessarily have a certain niche which is bullshit. One of my best friends said to me last night that writing was my niche and I replied with "but I haven't published anything" ,
which in fact is also an incorrect statement. She said "what about those musicians that aren't famous, does that mean they are any less talented?". How wise is this girl I thought and you know, I came to realize that I have come to value my
current jobs a little less than I should because they weren't the jobs I had idolized.
It's funny how we don't stop to think about the fact that we're on
a journey towards something and not everything is going to run smoothly and how you handle these not so smooth occurrences is a direct reflection on your outlook and what you believe in. All I know is that everything is a blessing and that we as people have the power to live through anything as long as we continue to persevere.
