Thinking Out Loud.

I remember, quite vividly, the day someone told me I needed to stop looking for the good in people.

To this day, I don't understand why this individual felt the need to say that to me. Maybe, in some odd way, they were only trying to protect me. But, I more than likely will never know the intentions.

I personally love looking for the good in everyone. Even in the person who has openly embarrassed me, mocked me, or hurt me. I see potential where others might not. I believe in everyone I meet, even if they've proved me wrong a countless amount of times. I will trust again and again and again until my heart can't take it anymore, and even then, I still try my best to be civil and understanding of situations.

Honestly, I feel like this is what makes me so open minded when I meet new people; it's easy for me to be accepting. I would hate for someone to look at me, form a judgement and treat me poorly because of it. So, if I'm supposed to treat others how I'd like to be treated--if that's what makes a good person...

I don't want to walk through life skeptical of everyone and everything. I would rather go through life trusting, hoping, and encouraging those around me.

This is the way I live, and this is what makes me happy. 

I will always do what makes me happy.
