I know for an entire summer, when I got home from working night shift, I would turn on the morning news. And it always left me depressed, sad, and with high anxiety thinking someone was killed two streets over on a college campus. Or the thousands dying in foreign land. Be it our soldiers or just innocent people. It really sucks the cards that your dealt with and many forget that for them it is a vicious cycle that is almost impossible to break in their world. I am a ruler follower, and get angry with the rule breakers bc they never seem to get caught. I also hope for the best in people. I honestly think mothers feel guilty when they do drugs while pregnant, if they admit to it or not. I'm a sucker for babies. I'm really a sucker for father's who cry when they hold their sick child for the first time. I say I can kick someone out of my life forever if I so choose to. But if they wanted back in... I would let them. I know at times I get taken advantage of because of my forgiving attitude. But I would rather be taken advantage of then not believe in the best of people. I too always see the glass half-empty but today, you know what MsCatalysta, you made me see that it looks a little half-full.
