Changing Reality

So, one thing I have learned/am learning, is that the saying you can't change people is not true. You can piss them off, make them happy, and confuse the hell out of them. If you can't change the reality of the physical around you, then change the way you see it. Smile 'til it hurts. Kill them with kindness. When do you stop? You don't. You just keep being kind and smiling and praying and looking and searching for anything good you can see and even if it is just the fact that you have ten toes, you keep counting those ten toes over and over being thankful for each and every one of them, even the one whose nail decided to abandon ship! And when a bad thought sneaks up, ignore, IGNORE, ignore! And pretend life is what you really want it to be. Pretend you are as thin as you wish, as smart as you like, your husband is the most romantic, your child always picks up after themselves. Picture, paint, imagine! And whatever you do, you just keep pretending everything is perfect. Ignore that giant, purple elephant in the living room. You have beautiful curtains! SMILE! Enjoy your life. Enjoy the moment. The longest life is short at best. Life is a conglomeration of moments and this moment will be gone momentarily. Don't lose a moment!
