Forget about what you aren't, focus on what you are.

This pooped into my head a while ago so i wrote it down so that I don't forget it.

Anyways, I had a bad day and I'm sleepy aka I'm here to rant.

Of course my mind is being negative right now and all it can think of is how I'm not what everyone expects me to be and that I am in fact an absolute disappointment.

But we move on.

That's not the way to think.

Which is why I'm writing, to take my mind off of the negative and walk myself through to the positive.

We always dream about what we could be, right? Or maybe regret who we were...but none of that matters.

It doesn't matter who we were.

It doesn't matter who we'll be.

What matters is who we are. Right now.

"Oh I'm not rich" "I'm not successful" "I'm not bla bla bla"

So.

The question is.

Who are you right now?

For example, right now I'm a hardworking person (even if many fail to see it). I'm a good friend (and maybe I'm draining myself while doing it too much). I'm confident in my abilities (lol or am i?)

Okay no that's not good I'm really not in the right mindset for this.

Listen, we all have bad days, we all have our moments of negative thoughts where we feel like nothing will make it better.

But the truth is? As soon as I tell or hear a stupid joke, I'll forget all about this.

Until the next time it all piles on me and I break down but that's not important.

Right now I'm having a bad day.

And that's alright.

Because now I can work on sorting through my thoughts to bring myself out of this dark hole.

I'm awesome.

I used to be so insecure...that doesn't matter anymore. I used to be too shy...who cares? I used to be academically gifted...meh.

Point is, I'm much more confident now. That's what matters. I'm not as shy. That matters. Sure, I struggle a bit with uni, but who doesn't? Nothing about life is easy.

We're going to face hardships all the freakong time in our lives.

So who cares who we were?

Who cares what we aren't?

We should focus on who we are!!

You're not good at tech? Maybe you're good at cooking. You're awful at soccer? Well mayve you're amazing at basketball.

We really shouldn't ever think about what we aren't (unless it's constructive criticism to help you grow into a better person)

But do you get my point?

Cuz I genuinely have no idea if I explained it right lmao I'll have to check tomorrow morning...that is if I don't forget.

Someone remind me yeah?
