Sometimes we think too much. We read too much into peoples' actions, thinking that they have ulterior motives, when all they want to do is just to help you. And in other cases, our thoughts and attitudes are so complicated that people are unable to understand us. In an attempt to hit the century post on this blog (we're at 91 now, excluding this one) , I'll revisit simplicity, to its very roots.
Simple. Innocent, trusting. Believing that there is still good in all people. Looking at the positives of life and people, instead of focusing on the negatives. This is simplicity. Knowing that the world out there is not very desirable, yet choosing not to dwell in its imperfections, instead holding on to faith, hope and love. Circumstances look bleak, but we continue to trust, to hope that all will work out in the end. Not wrapping ourselves up in our emotions, getting consumed by them, letting them shape us into the very people that we don't wish to become. Simple. Sometimes that's all we need. We'll feel better, I guess. But that's not all. We'll know for sure that there are better times coming. As simple as that.
