i think all the terrible things that happen in this world weigh on us more than we are willing to admit...

between school shootings, bridge collapses, wars, floods, and all the crazy murder/rape/death stories that are in the news lead us to, often subconciously, expect the worst at anytime...

a good friend of mine got a bottle smashed over the back of his head the other day for no reason, i never expected something like that to happen at the place we were at, but now when i go there i keep feeling like i have to watch my back, knowing full well the event was random...

i guess its true that bad can happen at anytime, but i think its best to not forget that good can too, maybe you change your morbid dwelling thoughts into happy ones, so if you are thinking about something that upsets you, imagine doing something awesome, or something awesome happening to you, like winning the lottery or something...
