There are times in your life when you feel sad. I have recently come to find that positive thinking does help with this. As does thinking about God. It's weird, I didn't think it would, but it gives you an uplifting feeling, when you think about how awesome you want to be and all the beauty in the world, and this calm, serene feeling descends over you. You realise that there is a bigger picture than just what you're worrying about now. Knowing that it's just another test or life experience makes it almost enjoyable, so you don't take things to heart too much.
I used to be incredibly happy sometimes, and wonder why it was that I felt so happy, and try to think of reasons as to why I shouldn't be so happy. I thought I was being realistic, but obviously I was just being depressing. Why not just embrace all of the joy and happiness you feel, for any/lack of any reason? That's not to say we can't just be sad, if that's what we feel like being. But why not be happy on as many occasions as possible?
The other day I was sitting out on the balcony with a two of the other Honour's girls. The third person, to whom I have referred in a couple of previous posts (the fascist) also joined us, but ignored me. We were talking about my hair (I wear a hijab, so they were curious) and said fascist piped up with a comment about the burqa and how scary it is, followed by a comment on how a couple of people have tried to commit robberies in them. The other girls had no idea how to respond, I just felt like laughing. This person is so incredibly rude, not to mention stupid.
I'm pretty sure more people have committed crimes with their faces obscured by stockings or hoodies or balaclavas or sunglasses. Are these all symbols of scariness as well? I don't look at a pair of women's tights and think 'Oh, no, crimes have been committed in these they should all be banned, and anyone wearing anything remotely resembling tights or stockings must be attacked'. Seriously, some people are SO stupid.
We have decided that this person is going to provide solid entertainment throughout what would otherwise be a fairly stressful year. The other day there was a death at a railway crossing, and said person said "Oh, no, what an idiot, they've messed up all traffic!"
WHAT. ON. EARTH.
The subsequent attempts to justify this by saying that "It would be understandable if it was at a small countryside crossing with no boom-gates, etc" did nothing but make us laugh even further. You can only laugh in the face of such cold-hearted callousness. I am very pleased with myself, for not having said anything to this person on this occasion, although it would have been a great point to solidify this person's Nazi-like qualities.
Still, the world is full of wonderful people and things. Like Betty Crocker ready-to-spread frosting. Yum. Also, I'd like to host 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks'. Noel Fielding is such an interesting character.
Peace and love,
S.
