The Power of Positivity

I believe that positivity is the greatest medicine. On the days that I feel at my utter lowest lows, I still try to find some light in the dark because in reality there will always be someone in a worse situation than I am.

I have been privileged today at internship number two to read testimonies of past residents. Some of their stories seem as though they are absolutely fairy tales, the violence and hate doesn't seem fathomable, but they were all eerily true.

One thing I noticed, which made me smile, was the positive spin each individual added at the end of their story after they described the end to the violence and hate from family. They noted how they were able to overcome the worst of their life's obstacles and have found themselves a happy place where they finally stay positive about what they can accomplish in their futures.
Reading through these letters gave me chills, but made me extremely thankful and grateful for what I do have. I will continue on with my positive thoughts, now with these stories in the back of my mind as a remind that there is always someone in more need that I am.
