listen.

i started drifting away from blogspot, as you can tell. i kinda miss it a bit.
so i decided, while sitting in my bed listening to whitechapel and procrastinating my english paper, to catch up on everything.
life is just overall, great.
everyone gets stressed, i do all the time.
everyone gets upset, i do frequently.
everyone gets pissed off, i often do as well.
everyone has one of those days where they wish they never existed, i do too.
but life is still great.
yknow why?

i was told one of the simplest, yet greatest things today.
i started something in my school called a discussion group. it's every other tuesday afterschool with my chemistry teacher. (he's one of my favorite teachers, too)
today was my first time in it. the point of it is to be able to leave afterwards with something you can really think about into next week, something that changes you in a way, something that makes you think deeper.
during this, he told me two things that i will never forget, that definitely had me leaving that group really thinking about how it's changed me. and i hope sharing it with other people will help them too, because everyone in that group left talking about it.



Happiness is a choice.

The greatest thing you could ever do for someone else, is just listen.
