Some days its just too hard to be positive. And yet, I just can't seem to stop trying to find silver linings in the conversations that people have with me.

People like to complain. People have to complain. I get that. It's a release.

The problem is I end up carrying their discontent around with me. I keep trying to figure out how to make it better, or I argue (mostly with myself) that things aren't as bad as presented. And it's worst when it's all philosophical or things that aren't of any importance to those who are complaining. Look, they rant, the injustice of it all! And then they're done. They just needed to complain. And I, I drive myself to distraction obsessing over something that had no importance at all in an attempt to spin it positive.

Ah, hell. I'm tried. I've been fighting a cold all week. My family is stressed. All that making it hard for me to keep respective. The news, the internet, its all bad for me right now.

I just want... peace. A nice conversation that doesn't involve how bad things are. A discussion about things we like, rather than harping on those that we don't. The thought that maybe, just maybe, life isn't going to hell in a hand basket.

I think I'll settle for sleep.

And yes, I am aware that this post is exactly the kind of think I'm complaining about. Ironic, huh?
