I've come to the realization that I've been pretty damn negative for a good portion of my life. I'm a skeptic, I'm a cynic, and I'm a pessimist. This is hopefully going to change soon.
I've made the decision to head in a different direction in my life. I understand that some of the shit I've gone through absolutely sucks, but now realize that it pales in comparison to some of the other stuff that happens in the world. I'm actually really lucky to be sitting where I'm sitting right now. I want to believe in humanity now, even though the things I see on a daily basis try and sway me otherwise. I want so desperately to start seeing the good in people, and I want to believe that it's something genuine, not just an act. I just really wish that people were honest enough to not abuse my trust.
I've decided not to dwell on stupid shit anymore. Holding grudges is like letting people live in my head rent free. Well, I'm posting those eviction notices because I'm reteaching myself how to forgive. No more of this childish bullshit, I'm going to let bygones be bygones and just leave the water to flow under the bridge. The past is the past; I can learn from it, but I can't change it. I can, however, change the future by using what I've learned.
And lastly, I've been trying to be more appreciative of the things in my life. I know I've talked about being appreciative in previous posts, but I haven't really taken it to heart as seriously as I am now. I don't know what will happen in the future, so I need to appreciate the moment I'm living in now instead of worrying about what comes next. I need to appreciate my ability to speak my mind, my ability to make my own decisions, or even just my ability to feed myself.
Change isn't something we should always fear. Change is something we should accept with open arms. I'm embracing all of these new ideals and values, and I'm hoping you all can embrace them too. This world needs more humanity, so let's take that first step.

I am currently a graduate student studying education and will update my thoughts and experiences here periodically. Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings.
All of the best,
BK
