Don’t Bring Me Down

I really do fail to understand why people have to be so negative, especially those that are close to us. I don’t think they intend to be negative but it seems to happen over time, in little bits. It’s those little bits that add up to become or at least contribute to a landslide at some point.
I refuse to give in to the negativism that is thrust upon me, though it does bring me down. I can no longer look outward or to those around me for some sense of recurrence. That suits me fine too, though it does make life more difficult from time to time.

Still this realization begs me to question if I do this to those around me. I really don’t think I do though I’m sure from time to time I have not always been as supportive as I could have but I do make a conscious effort to build those around me up.

I will continue to do this, even when those around me don’t or aren’t willing to do the same.
