Alicias Presentaion
I really liked what she said in her presentation. She made it very interesting and said what she wanted to say without being cruel but letting her beliefs known, saying it outright, but not being harsh about it. It was interesting to me because im kind of torn on the topic. I don't know if I completely agree. I think that happiness is a choice yes, but not for everyone. Some people just can't find that happiness or feel it. It is hard to find happiness when you don't even know where to search for it. Its like looking for the sun when it is night time. You have to wait for dawn and who knows how long that will take. I do agree that medications help because ive been there. in that dark place searching for something you can't find. Looking harder then ever to just be ok and happy. Or to feel nothing at all because that is better then unhappiness. Eventually I think you can snap out of it and just be happy because you grabbed that sun and you aren't letting go. Medicine helps you to just feel content but you still have to find happiness. It just makes it easier to find. It takes away the bad thoughts, the negative thoughts that you feel all the time because you can't see anything good. I like to think now that ive been at this low of low, that if you look for bad, that is all you will see. But if you look for the good in life then you will find it. Everytime. Because that is what you are looking for.

Thanks Jaracca! I hope I was sensitive in what I was trying to come across. I understand what you're saying and I feel for you, I really do. I grew up as a depressed child due to bad friends and bullies making fun and picking on me. I still feel that grief of life, but that's okay because I know it's gonna be alright in the end. I heard a quote once that might make your day. "Everything will turn out right in the end. If it's not right, it's not the end." ~Michael Iverson. In my own personal opinion, Optimism isn't something that just is there all the time. I'm an optimist and deal with a lot of stuff that life throws in my face. Take dating for example. I never dated in high school, and with a failed relationship behind me, I've started to get over the idea of "men should be the ones to ask the girls out on dates" idea because they just don't, at least not for me. So, Friday, I took my piano accompanist out to lunch as a thank you for accompanying me while I played my flute in Church on Sunday. Today, I took my rediscovered friend from high school caroling with me as my single's ward gathered in a bundle and sang while he accompanied us on his acoustic guitar. I enjoyed myself a lot, and I thank you for understanding what I was trying to say because afterall, I'm not the best public speaker....thanks :)
