I've led a very though life, things almost never worked out for me, still aren't, but I've equipped myself with a number of shields, weapons, and motivators all along, and they have ensured me my survival, and strengthened my patience till now. One of those few valuable flack jackets was positivity.
My life has always been up and down, which is normal. Many good and bad experiences (or rather painful ones, since there isn't really "bad" in experience), but how do you learn without making mistakes? How do you value health without illness? I have no regrets. My painful experiences have always outnumbered my more pleasant ones, outnumbered them by a lot! However, I was never alone; always had my sword "honesty", armor "cheerfulness", grenades "smiling", spirit "indomitable will", and shield "positivity" with me, equipped, and readied for all challenges.
I cannot count the things that have brought trouble and pain into my life, however, I can make a list of the blessings I've always had, the times I enjoyed, and the people I trusted and loved; that was my positivity, the ability to look up during the down, to look at the good through the bad, and to be optimistic and positive about what is yet to come.
Positivity, unlike many other things in my life, has never abandoned me. It has guarded me from extreme pain for a very long time, and has prepared me for the upcoming in my life. Right now, I live half of the glove away from my hometown where I was raised for the past 17 years and a half, from my relatives, friends, culture, religion and land, and it wasn't really my choice. Regardless of how far I feel from what I am, and what I love, I can still smile, I can still laugh, knowing that one day I will return. Though I am not there physically, I was raisered there, and still live by what my country, culture and religion has taught me, and distance will never change that.
I've grown up positive, upbeat, very cheerful and honest, and I always want to remain that way.
