Positivity and Projects

"What about now? What about today?

What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby, before it's too late, what about now?

 The sun is breaking in your eyes to start a new day.

This broken heart can still survive with a touch of your grace.

Shadows fade into light.

I am by your side, where love will find you."

--Daughtry "What About Now"

Dear Diary,

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I have been neglecting you lately. It was never meant to be this way, but I have been so busy lately. I know this is no excuse. I am going to try to remember to write more. 

A while ago, I told you about this project I was taking on. A project that meant a lot to me, that still means a lot to me. I didn't feel like explaining it to you then. Maybe I felt that I would jinx it, but I think it is time. So here it goes,

I am trying to change people's lives.

I am trying to help in a way that I know I can, 

and by doing this, I think I'm also helping myself.

There are millions of sick people out there. Millions of people that suffer from so many different illnesses and diseases. This is a fact that most people recognize, but what most people forget is that all these people have to learn to cope. They have to learn to accept their diseases, and keep going. They have to take on a whole new number of battles, and some of these battles are going to be with themselves. 

That's where my project comes in. I'm trying to create a non-profit organization called Pages of Positivity. My mission is simple, yet really complicated. I know that's a contradiction, but it's the truth. I'm going to try and keep people positive through journals that are filled with only positive things. Nothing negative is allowed, but this is hard. So many people are set on thinking negative, thinking that the glass is half empty. They forget that they are perfectly capable of changing that attitude. They forget that with a little effort, you can bring your own sunshine with you wherever you go.
 I intend to change this.

With these notebooks, I truly believe that people will have an outlet and a reminder to think of all the good things in life, rather than dwell on bad. I can honestly tell you, diary, that my own personal positivity journal has helped me. When you have a bad day, or something happens that you're not happy with, you can simply open your journal and remind yourself that you will get through this. That you will be okay. That you do matter. And that there are still good things in this world.

I truly believe in this project.

I truly believe it can help, and that's all I can ask for.

If I can help one person with this, everything will be worth it.

Everybody could use a little love, inspiration, motivation, and positivity in their lives.

Love Forever & Always,

Me
