A Lesson on Negativity.

I realize now that the world is not what I once imagined it to be. A long while ago I used to think that adults were adults and only children acted childish. I was right and wrong. Adults are not as childish, but being adults doesn’t always make them better people.

I like people though, adults and kids. Especially if they do agility, those people are my favorite kind of people. Recently it has come to my attention that some people do not like me. This would be okay with me…I understand that not everyone likes everyone. But not only do they not like me, they’ve been telling other people not to like me. This also wouldn’t be so bad if these people knew me. Or had at least talked to me before… I’m not sure what I could have done to make people who don’t know me say that I’m a horrible individual, but I really don’t think I’m all that horrible. Honestly I’d like nothing more than to just avoid negativity all together, but it’s kind of hard to ignore rumors and my very own customized nasty nicknames. “The Agility Princess” was definitely a personal favorite. At least they put some creativity into it right? To my knowledge I’ve never spread a rumor, and evidently I’m not creative enough to call people 30+ years younger than me names. But then again there aren’t people that much younger than me because I’m still a teenager. I also don’t talk about other people, so it would be hard to spread anything about them. I talk about how mystical otters are, and ponder ridiculous things with my friends. Personally, I quite enjoy puns, and singing Disney songs loudly in the car. When I talk about agility, it’s asking how my friends and students are doing at a show. Quite often, John and I pick out our favorite competitors and give them cool slogans and hashtags. For example, anything unquestionably awesome is #Rosanne and anything that falls under the category of badassery is #RoseSavkov.

I see negativity as a poison; it leaches out and affects everyone around you. This poison makes you ill and unhappy…it permeates the brain and taints all the good thoughts.  I don’t like putting poison in my body, and I especially don’t want to infect my own brain with something so damaging. You cannot like me, even though I’ll probably still like you. You can even tell me you don’t like me, but don’t expect me to care about what you think. I will care enough to thank you though. You’ve taught me a valuable lesson about how to be a healthier and happier individual.  

I sincerely hope you enjoy not liking me, I am very much enjoying being happy.

To all the other dreamers out there, don’t ever stop or let the world’s negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and the right people, anything is possible.
