50. Choosing to be miserable

I don't know about you, but i probably do half of those without even thinking about it. Maybe if we all stopped and realized the things that make us miserable and tried to stop doing them life would be a lot easier.

1. Compare yourself frequently with others.
2. Belittle yourself.

those two are the ones that i do daily, hourly, minutely, secondly, ALL the time. And to be honest, it is really hard for me to be happy when i put myself down so frequently. I find that its hard for other people to want to be around someone that doesn't think high enough of themselves to realize the good things. For example, when i am out with someone who is undoubtedly beautiful and they say "oh i look terrible," i become annoyed, but i do that same thing. So maybe i should wake up and stop being so annoying :)

anyways, a friend of mine died last night and i hope (even though none of you know him) that you will keep his family and close friends in your prayers, he was 19 or 20 and was t-boned by a vehicle going 80mph. Life is short, and unexpected.
