Bad things happen to good people

I always feel like I am trying best to live by my values and respect others' values. But it seems among the great things that come back to me, there is always something negative that detracts from what could've been great. Like I'm on this whirlwind adventure, living my dreams, and yet travel plans NEVER work out. Something always happens that makes me feel and appear stupid even though it really is becoming way more complicated than anticipated. It's just so frustrating. I know things can't be good all the time, but why do the bad things have to come when you are finally happy and honestly enjoying something.. I wish some people in my life would spend more time bringing each other up instead of dwelling on the bad and bringing them down.. especially when there is no control over some things. Oh well, I will count my blessings, which are far more tremendous than the bad. I am truly living a dream and not many people get the opportunity to do that.

Please spend time seeing the good in people and situations.. even when its bleak. Keep your head up and count the good things in your life. I'm sure they outweigh the bad. Hey, you are on the internet being fortunate enough to read my blog. ;)

Sincerely,
Alyssa

What's all this about?

Hey readers, fellow bloggers, and friends!

Ever since I was young I have loved all types of writing... I've always loved telling everyone my opinions on life matters and situations. So I figured I would start a blog about my ideology on life... I don't want to be confined to writing on one subject..I just want to be able to come on here and write what I am feeling or something I've read that day that has had an impact on me. Don't worry, it won't politically or religiously charged because I don't like that kind of debate. I just love the little things that make your day, or those little epiphanies you get about something.

I've been writing in a journal and sometimes I write "you" in it.. For example, "see you next time" or "you couldn't imagine". I think everyone who keeps a journal writes like that. So I was wondering the other day, what do I mean by you? or who do I mean? The journal, or myself? Or maybe it's the hope that someone will read it and think something of it one day?  This thought lead me to start this blog. I think I want people to see my thoughts and know my opinions. Even if no one keeps up or reads my posts that's okay. Writing is partially about appealing to an audience but mainly it is for yourself... Helps you to really look at your surroundings and analyze your feelings.

So here's to just writing.. without the formalities or forced topics. It's a way to Live Simply... and all you need to do in life is Simply Live.

Yours,
Alyssa
