Say No and Be Happy

Me to maths teacher since he wants to keep us longer before lunch "I should mention that I get grumpy when I'm hungry"

Maths teacher "Will I notice the difference..? ;)"

So on request ;) I'm gonna bring up my abilities of saying no, which, as my long-time followers and friends probably know, aren't that great.

I used to say that I can't say no to something I want. But the obvious contra question would be why I should say no if I want it.

I've realized that sometimes it feels like you want something at the moment, but in the long run it's a bad decision.

What I'm working on, and have gotten a lot better at lately actually, is recognizing that kind of situation. Which is why I said no to a certain boy last weekend.

There's this one boy now though who I don't feel like saying no to at all.. I think I could really like him.

What I thought of yesterday was that we both had this one thing we don't want to tell people because even though we ourselves don't think it's a big deal-or actually thinking so, but not as far as other people are concerned-, we don't want other peoples reaction to it. Common reactions include pity, thinking they understand, telling me how to make everything better and telling me it's not that bad. That's just something I'd rather be without.

The point with my issue is that it doesn't bother my daily life and you couldn't tell from hanging out with me unless you wanted to talk about specifically that. I'm much better now actually and beside from a few weak moments I'm almost fine. Normal.. haha hardly that.

But as far as being happy goes, I think I'm getting there.
