I perceive many people are bitter, cynical, frustrated with life. They feel life has defeated them as a result they admit defeat or just give up. This negative approach is a bad guide on the journey of life. Bear in mind that the most valuable thing in your life is life itself .Cherish life , live it and express the joy of being alive in a cheerful way .Where you live , what you drive, what you wear , what you eat-These are all less important . You are alive right now, this is the biggest joy . The joy of life is all around us . It is in everything and in anything we can experience. You just need to change the way you look at things. I have a positive attitude about life, I am rather confident , constructive rather than skeptical. My heart is filled with optimism. I expect the best and perceive the best in almost all things. I am trying to communicate this positivity and hopefulness through my poems. I hope to spread this bliss or glow to enlighten other people’s hearts.

"I'm not okay!" I yelled at him. "Okay?! I'm not okay." My chest rose up and down as I breathed heavily. It had been years since I had a break down, and I wasn't going to have one right now. "It's okay not to be okay," he whispered, walking closer to me. He caressed my cheek, trying to sooth me. I stared at him, pain filled my eyes. I was trying hard not to cry. I couldn't cry. That's not what I did. "It's okay to cry," he comforted. His eyes stared so hard into mine I felt like he was seeing into my soul. "Crying shows weakness, and I'm not weak," I told him, swallowing hard. "Sometimes crying is the strongest thing you can do. It just shows everyone else that you're just as human as they are." And right then and there I started sobbing. I had lost all control of my emotions, I cried like I hadn't since I was little. All those times I didn't cry when I wanted to poured out now. The walls I spent so long building to make them unbreakable, broke. Alana finds a thick orange envelope in her mailbox one day. No return address, no stamp or postage mark and it's not even addressed to her. Someone had just dropped the letter off in her mailbox. The only thing written on this envelope is "You might need this... or not." Alana takes it inside and begins to read the life story of a complete stranger. The life story of someone trying to find their place in this big scary world. © Somethingtrue 2013. All rights reserved.
