Fear and Love.

I’m determined to make my posts as positive and lighthearted as possible. I refuse to entertain negativity or any kind of disputes in the comments. It’s not necessary nor do I find it productive. I have read (and I believe) that there are only two emotions in life – love and fear.

Anything that is not love, is fear. Think about that and read it again. Anything that is not love, is fear. I also believe that whatever you look for, you find. If you look for a bunch of shit, welp, you’re going to find a bunch of shit. If you look for the good stuff, you’re going to get a bunch of good stuff. I’m not saying bad stuff doesn’t exist, but why keep looking for it? Seems like a really shitty way to live.

Need some inspiration as to what to look for? Here’s my good stuff.
I love the people who make me laugh and get my sense of humor. I LOVE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE ME LAUGH AND GET MY SENSE OF HUMOR. I laugh easily and I love the people who laugh at my jokes. I love the quote “laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” I’ve met a lot of people in my life and the common theme of the people I enjoy the most is their ability to laugh.

I love the people who hold the door when my hands are full…or even when they’re not. I love people who say please and thank you. Strangers that smile and/or say hello to you in passing. I love the people who check in on you to say hi and pick you up when you’re at your worst and cheer you on when you’re at your best. Some say you find out who your true friends are when you’re going through a tough time. I would argue you also find out who your true friends are when you’re doing well. People who support others’ successes are the best. People who listen to listen. People who genuinely want to get to know you. People who love dogs. People who you may not get to talk to or see all the time, but pick right back up every time you talk to them like no time has passed. People who you can tell they messed up and they apologize. People who can tell you you messed up and forgive you and hug you when you apologize. I love people who don’t judge or try not to and try to see all sides of a story

I love people who will sing and dance (in public or private) without shame. Sitting in their car belting out to a tune on the radio at the top of their lungs. Or a song comes on in the grocery store and they start bopping their head – yep, love that person. Rock the f on, my friend.
We are all a million different people – I bet you can find yourself in this post and chances are if you’re reading this, I love you, too. Too much crappy stuff out there, so focus on the good, because there’s a lot out there.
