Happiness ^^

You know...
I'm a happy boy right now ^^
Why? I dont know. I'm just content with how everything is right now. I mean...
School is fine, Friends are fine, I am fine, Family is fine, everything is going well :)

Things could be better granted, but they could be worse. I'm just all happy right now~
Learning to be happier with what I have, its great ^^

I had something to talk about...I forgot....
I think it was perception, or something...

I was thinking about it on the way to school, and how people perceive things. I mean, a lot of people will go with their pre-concieved notions about people when interpretting what people say. Example, If I were to say, "I did well on this test! I'm so happy!" If someone had a positive perception of me, they could think "Good for him! I'm happy for you!" but if they had a negative perception they could think "You loser, stop bragging!" It all depends on what the person thinks.

This concept is rather easy to understand, but I think its really stupid. Things shouldnt be based on YOUR perception, it should be based on what the person actually meant when saying "I did well on a test!"

I'm guilty of letting my negative perception get the better of me, so I dont blame people for letting this happen. It is something I'm trying to get passed though, filter out my bias when people are telling me something, and try and think the best of them until they prove me wrong.

I mean...if someone thinks that you always do something, like complain or whatever, and label you as a complainer, they can make a lot of things seem like you're complaining when you're really not and just wanted to tell a story or whatever.

Ahh well, one day we'll all get passed this, lets hope its only an issue while we're young, so when we mature and grow up things will be better. :)
