Some Random Thoughts on Life, Self-Pity, & Happiness

Life is too short to be unhappy. 

That sentence pretty much sums it up. We as a society spend so much time looking at everything that’s bad and feeling sorry for ourselves. Lately I’ve been seeing it more and more, in my family, friends, and people around me in general. And it’s making me sad. Self-pity is such an ugly, draining thing. We can become so wrapped in it that it can take over our lives and negatively affect everything and everyone around us.

Of course, I am guilty of it also. My closest friends (especially Marjorie, Justine, & Jenny) know this for sure. But I try my hardest to fight it off. I guess I do an ok job because people come up to me a lot and say things like “You always seem to be so happy” or “You just seem to never be in a bad mood.” While those things may be far from the truth, it makes me happy that there are people who think that about me. It means I’m at least sometimes doing what I try to accomplish.

It is true that I rarely have a bad day. A couple people recently have asked what my secret to that is and while I don’t think it’s much of a secret, I’ll share. Every morning I wake up, say a little thank you to God for bringing me through another night and into another day. Then I look outside and say to myself “Today is going to be a great day.” And it usually always is. In my head, throughout the day, I try to always stay on the positive side no matter what is thrown at me. Yes, I fail a lot: I know I have my times when I’m down or upset. Today in fact was one of those days. However, it seems like something positive always come along to show me how stupid I am for being depressed, just like tonight. And at the end of every day, I can almost always smile and say that it was a great day. And while I do have so many ups and downs as everyone else, life is so much happier spent that way. Every day is an adventure for me and that’s the way I like it.

I can honestly say I LOVE life and would not want to live it any other way.

Goals for July

Summer goals for when I get back from Oklahoma:

• Back to the gym, every day if possible.
• Get outside a lot every day, get a tan!
• Pierce my lip and/or ear.
• Diligently search for a job I would enjoy.
• Summertime adventures! (especially nighttime ones)

I Just Need Somebody to Love

FML I guess I have Bieber fever cuz I can’t stop listening to that stupid song!

But it perfectly describes my life

Aunt Emma’s House

Earlier, my grandparents were doing some work over at my Aunt Emma’s house a block away and I had to take my grandma’s phone to her that she forgot. They were out front, but I decided to walk in. I hadn’t been in her house since awhile before she died last November. I walked in and it felt so weird. The first room I walked into was the kitchen. I could so vividly remember years of dinners seated in that room, which Aunt Emma pulling cornbread out of the oven or stirring soup on the stove. As I walked through the rest of the house, I half expected her to come out, excited to see my with her soft-spoken “well hellooo Brandon,” one of her sweet smiles, and a hug that could fix anything. I could see myself as a 5 year old on her living floor, playing with Lincoln logs. Or in her back room, teaching her to play Solitaire on our old computer we gave her. Everything was still there as it always had been… except her. On my way out, I grabbed a couple pictures I saw of me and her on two different of her birthdays (Christmas Eve) that were sitting there, one framed and one off the fridge. That was a few hours ago and I can still can’t shake the empty feeling that I got walking around her house.

Honest Truth

I never really feel like I “fit-in” anywhere or with any group of people. 

“Like Post” from Kristen

For this thing on facebook where if you like a status message then the person writes something they like about you on your wall, this is what my “girlfriend” [; Kristen wrote about me:

“Brandon :) i like how close we became because it didn’t take us very long to topen up to eachother. i like how you are my boyfriend :) and i like how we can tell eachother absolutely everything. i like how i can be myself around you, and i like that no matter where you are or what you are doing you will always be there for me. i like how you like to travel the world, because so do i. i like how you always send me postcards so i know how much fun you are having. i like how you take me out on adventures when i need an escape. i like how you are one of my very best friends. and i like how your aunties knew of me and my dad knew of you before we knew eachother. i love you! and thank you for everything that you have done for me :) just remember that you are an amazing people, and if people misjudge you, thats their fault, cuz they will be missing out on one of the greatest people that i know.”

Seriously, this made me feel so good inside, I wanted to cry! I love her so much, she’s the best!

Some people are grossed out by feet

Personally, I am completely disgusted by KNEES. I don’t know why, but they’re gross to me! Whether I’m wearing shorts, a bathing suit, or sleeping, you’ll never see me showing mine LOL.

Sorry that was random! Good night.

When it comes to my friends’ secrets & trust, I keep my mouth closed, ears open.

When it comes to understanding people, I keep my mind open.

When it comes to fucking around, I keep my pants zipped.

When it comes to a friend in need, I always keep my arms open.

Yeeyuuuup, that’s me in a nutshell.

This is what my bestfriend Kailyn wrote me…

I hung out with bestfriend Kailyn today for the first time in hella days. I told her about the blog I wrote a few days ago so she had to go back and read it. She was the very first person to ever know I was bi, a long long time ago before I told anyone else so it was a shock to her that I had the nerve to “come out” about it, I guess you could say. This is what she wrote to me after she read it…

“im honestly so proud of you baby! i will always love you weather you’re gay, bi, or celebate! who the fuck are people to judge you! people only judge yu because they are unhappy with themselves. yu are an amazing person no matter what anyone says and dont ever let anyone tell you different! i love you with all my heart and no matter where you’re life takes you i will always stickby your side and wont ever let anyone bring you down! yu are so strong, and smart, and everything rolled into one ball of perfction! you are my best friend, my baby brother (of the same age), my inspiration my rock, my backbone!my Everything! you have been there for me as well as anyone else whenever they have needed you and anyone that says different is a fucking liar! no matter how you turn out it will be amazing and im so happy you can finally be happy with who you truly are because who yu truly are is perfect! i love you brandon lloyd wofford!”

That honestly made my whole day. Even though her and I don’t get to see each other as much as we used to, nothing is ever different and she’ll always be my most solid support. I love her so much.
