It is interesting how much people affect me. Like yesterday when I kept thinking in a Chinese accent, or today when I was depressed after seeing a post on Facebook. Listening to a song can make me feel like crap, or it can make me have hope in better things. Hanging out with my family for a few hours can lighten my mood significantly.
I am thinking of how important it is to control the things I come into contact with because they will affect the way I feel. It would be good for me to not look at Facebook anymore for one thing, to skip any music on my iPod that brings me down. My mind is like a web and one thing is connected to another. Words are connected to feelings. I must do better at putting myself in places that build me up. It has been too easy to put myself down lately without any help.
If I think about yesterday, it was my birthday and I had a great time. My friends and family were very kind and generous. I received many wonderful gifts that made me feel important. Most of all those who sacrificed some time to be with me made me feel important. I am glad that I do have people who care about me, and I care about them too. I may not have everything, but the things I do have I would not ever want to be without.
