Negativity- A Destructive Disease

Source: Tumblr

Negativity is bad.
It's downright harmful.
If I had it my way, I would label it as a contagious disease in all of the textbooks.

It starts of as a mild cough you catch.
You start believing your friend is just talking bad about people in a not so serious way. I mean we all love to gossip and have done it some time. But it gets worse day after day. You start realizing that the person constantly tries to bring people down.

The cough you thought was mild is starting to turn severe. You realize a very big thing. It's not that your friend sees  negative in people. We all do at times. You come to realize the fact that your friend has stopped seeing positive all together.

Remember how it was supposed to be a mild cough ? Now all of a sudden you have a pounding headache. Sore throat. Mere side effects of coughing all day.
Being around negativity has it's side effects too.
It sucks the energy out of you.

You constantly feel tired. You only see bad. You've stopped seeing good. You feel like you are being sucked into some big hole you don't wanna be in. Your friend goes on talking trash. Doesn't agree on anything. Keeps finding bad in whatever you talk about . You wanna stop talking to this person. But you can't . You wanna be good to your friend. So good that it drains out all the positive and good in you. You're empty now. So hollow. Your friend finds a way to get in and fill it with negativity. You start picking fights with everyone because you've lost the ability to battle with yourself.
Who would have thought the mild cough to turn out so bad ?

Remember to take proper medication next time.
Stay away from negative people. They have a certain negative energy which is bound to affect you one way or the other.

Giving Things Life

Because I love glitter

Last week I lost my pen pouch. No big deal right ? I could totally  go and buy another one. Except the fact that I made a great fuss about losing it in the first place.
I want you think of a thing you lost. It could be anything. A guitar, a necklace, a car, a pen, a book or a mug. Now ask yourself was it replaceable? No. Of course you could go out and buy a new elaborate version of it, but it could never replace the one you had before.
For example, my dad refuses to give up his old car. He has a new one but he won't give up the old one which just sits there in the garage. He claims the car has been with him through thick and thin and is not just a piece of metal for him.
We humans tend to associate our feelings with the things we own. That's why we have favourites.
I mean, sure I could have bought another pouch, but how could I forget the one which I had owned for almost 7 years. I had doodled on it when I was bored, it had way too many coffee stains and a charm with my initials on it. I was pretty bummed to loose it.
It was then I realised how something so simple could make me so sad. From a third person point of view it seems silly to be sad over this, but it was important to me cause I had given it importance.
If we look at it, we give things life. A wedding ring is just a normal ring until  it gets endowed with love. No thing is special unless we believe in it. It's amazing how a meaningless thing can turn out to mean so much for anyone.
In the end, we provide those things power.
I want to know your favourite thing and why you love it so much.
