Negativity

[Bry89]

My mind
Is swirling endlessly with these pictures
So dark and disturbing
They keep me awake at night

These thoughts
Will always stay with me until I die
The countless days of what had went wrong
Never the happiness

Of a million memories that I hold
Of this confusing, unfair reality
I can only remember the darkest of times
I only recall the negativity

This life
The time where I'm supposed to live it free
But instead the pain and anger take control of me
All my life, I've been denied of joy
~~~

This entry is based on the fact that people are more likely to recall negative events more than positive ones, according to this (although I actually learnt this from one of my classmates at college).

I see your point. I've also been blessed to know people who fought and fought against this tendency, eventually replacing the negative with positive. It seemed totally worth the fight for them, so I've attempted to emulate it for myself. Sometimes it's just a right choice, repeated often enough, that sticks and changes the path ahead for the better.
