Ever notice that some people seem to just wait to see you joyful so they can run up and stomp on your smile? It's like when you're a kid, building a sandcastle and having a kid come kick it over. These people seem almost uncomfortable with anyone radiating sunshine, friendship, or just good will in general. It's like they think, if you're that cheerful you must be up to something. I call these people "Kill-Joys". They GET joy out of KILLING your joy. It's sick. I will never understand how you can go throughout life finding the glass half-full, or just being suspicious of other people's friendships. At some point doesn't it just get exhausting? Aren't you just worn out by never trusting others? Now, I understand, I am too trustworthy a lot of times. I have a hard time giving up on people. (Thus, probably why boyfriends can cheat on me or friends talk badly about me and I never even think that it could be a possibility) If I've found you worth investing in and living life with then I'm with you. You are mine and I am yours for the long haul. Getting me to walk away and deem you as a person not worth interacting with takes a lot out of me - there's crying involved! haha So, because of that, I personally find it VERY difficult to relate to people who look for some way to ruin your day. Yes, I realize this is a rant. Yes, I also realize I am writing this after having interactions with several Kill-Joys lately. And let's just say Pppptttttthhhhh to you. (That would be me sticking out my tongue haha)
Okay, the theme (vocab word! ha) of this post is: Spread joy instead of killing joy. It's just an easier way to live! Lighten up, trust people, find happiness each day in some way. Life is too short to be anything but happy, and happiness is a CHOICE. The end.
Now, I'll go live in my bubble world...because I get to say who I let in...and it's only happy people allowed!
Dude, I feel like MOST people arent happy and just want everyone else to be not happy. or something....its so frustrating:( and what if im not happy one day....then its even worse! not encouraging! i feel like i have to alter my mood, like, oh...youre not happy? me neither....etc. life is too short! and Jesus didn't say this was about OUR comfort and happiness anyway! im glad you vented. amen.
