Life: Being Content Vs. Unhappy

Life is what we, as people, make of it. If that's true, why do a lot of us choose to put ourselves in uncomfortable and unhappy states of mind? Life is a roller coaster, full of twists and turns, though struggle, adversity, and tragedy lead us off course and they thrust us into tough, sometimes daunting situations. The human instinct forces us to adapt to each new set of circumstances, each new environment. And, sometimes instead of feeling content, calm, and happy, different emotions take over and engulf us in unhappiness, sadness, depression, sorrow, hopelessness, and so on and so forth. I would be lying if I said I have never experienced any of these. Those feelings are all around. Whether you feel any of those, or others, based off of: a job that you dislike or one you get laid off from, a love lost, death, tragedy, the world, family, friends, etc., you know that it becomes increasingly difficult to feel positive, and good. One thing I'm learning to do is to let things go. It's important also not let anything get to you or eat you up on the inside, figuratively. Sometimes, it's about taking a step back, a deep breath, a moment of thought. Life isn't all bad. A lot of good can come from it. I believe that if we all become more content, and understanding of our lives and everything that surrounds us, we can be more in control of what happens. Being content can mean a million different things to a million different people, but I know on this journey, this road we call life, we can all lose our place and lose sight of what really is important. A being, "content," according to the dictionary is defined as, "satisfied with what one is or has; not wanting more or anything else." What this means is that, even though so much goes on in our lives, even if you experience some unhappiness and disgust with how things are, it's equally important to appreciate what you have and enjoy and embrace it. This is significant because it can said that sometimes you don't know what you've got until it's gone and sometimes you let life pass you by, instead of what cherishing what really matters to you. The importance of staying strong, true to yourself, and being happy will all have lasting impact on whatever comes your way, and you ability to handle each dilemma the best way possible.

Hey all. I'm not really sure who read these, but I figured I'd come on and say that I'm new to the whole blog world and writing of various things, events, or whatever comes into my head. I plan to come on my more often and update things and see what's good with people if anybody decides to add me on here.

Until I think of something I wanna blog about about, I will talk to you all later.

Hey all. first blog

Hey I'm new to this blog site so it's going to take a while to get used to doing things on this. Anyways, tonight I'm relaxing, contemplating life as always through music and my own way of thinking. I believe when you are composed and relaxed, you can focus on what's going on and narrow down what someone is pondering and come to a solution or conclusion, Hehe, anyways, when I think of more to write on this site, I will definitely post for your viewing pleasure. Talk to you all soon,
