Choosing to be happy

Choose to see the world as beautiful, and your life will be much more fulfilling. All of us live the same lives, but we choose to perceive it in different ways.

Today was one of the most exciting days of my life. I woke up refreshed, went to the gym, and then went to practice. Then, I played at my violin recital and it a lot of people came up to congratulate me. When I was a kid, I would look up at the older musicians with fancy suits in admiration. Now, I am one of the older musicians, and I think I inspired at least one other rising violinist.

Then, after I got home, I did something really dumb. I've been talking with this girl at my school for about a week, and today I asked her to be my girlfriend (out of nowhere). Keep in mind that we've only been talking for a week and haven't even gone on a date.

I thought I was about to get friendzoned, so I just put on a movie and accepted my fate. Who would've thought that she was feeling the exact same way? So now, I'm gonna take her on a proper date instead of jumping the gun 🤣

Moral of the story: You can approach life either from the perspective that it sucks, or you can stay cheerful no matter the situation. I was kicking myself for messing up so badly, but it turned out to be fine in the end. Life is definitely more fun if you accept it for what it is an just enjoy. Otherwise, it's just misery, and who wants that?
