"Don't you give up."
Iron Man 3 is one of my absolute favorite comic book movies simply because of the way it shows an extraordinary human being handle an incredibly ordinary disorder.
The film shows Tony Stark/Iron Man undergoing a severe case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after all of the events that occurred in The Avengers.
Throughout the movie, while Tony is struggling to complete his own mission, small reminders of his past emerge with terrible timing and distract him from the goal for a short while.
After months of pushing closer and closer to attaining a tranquil state of mind, it happened again.
I had a dream about her.
I don't quite remember what it was about but I remember waking up, thinking of her sparkling, beautiful eyes.
Throughout the day, more memories flooded my mind and I questioned why in the world this was all happening again.
It put me in a very negative state of mind and while sadness may play an essential key to achieving true happiness, negativity can do nothing but destroy all that is good and pure.
I began to think of my mistakes and how I could let everything happen the way that it did.
I thought about how I really haven't been putting my best foot forward and spreading nothing but love and positivity.
And I thought about those around me who I've actually found myself talking trash about, when they're only making the same mistakes that I did.
I'm beginning to accept that I'm going to think about her and that no matter what, it isn't going to change.
And that's okay.
She is in my heart and if she ever needs me, I will try my absolute hardest to be there. But it's different now because when I say that, I can say it about every single person on this planet.
I won't talk shit about others because I won't allow myself to look down on others. I wish to spread positivity and how may I do that with a negative mind?
I want to spread positivity so that others around me can do the same and so that this world may change for the better.
But honestly, there is an underlying reason as to why my entire world is built upon spreading love.
If all of the people around me have minds that are built solely on positivity, I will always have people to help me when my mind falls.
I've been a really selfish person for a lot of my life and for once in my life, that is okay.
