Positive Thoughts and Happy Feels

Being positive is always a challenge, especially when faced with different social issues that make you feel inferior about yourself and who you are. 

 

As a child, I was always "bigger" for my age. I never quite fit in with the "popular" kids, and I was known as a social outcast. This was traumatizing to me throughout my entire life. All throughout elementary school and high school, I was bullied about my size and the fact that I was known as a "loner". It was embedded in my mind that no one would be my friend because I was too different. 

 

Words hurt, actions hurt even more. I was shunned, and I had no where to turn. I suffered from depression, and when I confronted my parents about this, all they did was laugh it off. I had attempted suicide, and luckily, it was a failed attempt.

 

But then something wonderful happened and I discovered music and the sweet sounds that are known as Simple Plan and Hedley...and that's when I realized, my life has a purpose, and I need to live it for what it's worth.

 

So, long story short...I'm still alive, and music and positivity are my outlets! On a bad day, there's always a song and/or an inspiring message to get you through that.
