FML?

FML has got to have some of the funniest things that people say and do. Sometimes, like many people, I just read through to have a laugh and it does make me feel better about how my day went. But that got me thinking.. why is it that I have to read about how horrible someone elses day was to feel better about mine? It struck me as sad, pathetic even. There are the funny ones but there are definitely inappropriate ones that make you go wtheck?

I tend to forget all the good things that happen to me in one day. I think its human nature that I always think about how tired, over-worked and burnt out I am. I say it everyday and what I say definitely affects how the rest of my day or week goes. Its easier to complain about life than to be thankful for the good times. I know I need to work on that a lot..

Because I draw attention to the trying, frustrating and annoying situations in my life, I also push aside all the good things. It seems like there could be 10+ good small things that happened and after one "huge" annoyance, my whole day will be ruined. I look at it now and realize how.. not right that is. And I dont think FML really helps with that. Its become a huge trend. Everyone uses it. In every context. But really.. is one paper THAT bad? Bad enough to throw the friendships, opportunities and blessings that you have all away? After a whole week of fun and play, am I going to fuss and groan about studying that I left to do later?

Nahh. I wont.

I need more positive influence in my life. I have enough negativity going on inside that I dont need any more of that. If anything, I want to say B(less) M(y) L(ife) or Thankful For My Life (going off on the _ML wordplay).

Oh yeah.. reminder to self. Stop comparing yourself to others.
