Complaints

Ugh, another Friday gotta write again, how lame. I have to stay up until 6 am updating my website, my Instagram and my google docs. I could be. watching YouTube. Nah I'm just kidding I love to write I do this for fun, and I don't think anyone would choose to stay up till 6 am and write for no reason other than to help someone out. Anyways those first sentences are complaints, which as the title implies, I will touch on today. In all honesty complaints don't change anything, you should stop complaining about how unfair things are, but you do need to get it off your chest sometimes. With that said, the first paragraph in next week's writing will relate to the fourth paragraph of this writing so watch out for that one. Have you ever asked yourself why you complain? Just because it's easy to or what? I have asked myself and honestly I really couldn't find a valid reason, I complain as a joke sometimes but it's a very sarcastic complaining that people know I don't mean. Back to the question though, is there really a good reason to complain? There is no real reason to complain so why do we do it? That's the question I can attempt to answer. I think we complain to get our frustration out. In the end though no matter how much you complain, nothing will change, if you want it to change you have to get up and do something about it not just sit on the couch and complain. You can't complain about being unhealthy while you sit on the couch all day and don't do anything to change it. You can't complain about your job being hard or terrible because you know who applied for that job? Yeah, you. There are many other examples than just that. The people you look up to didn't complain about where they were when they started, they just looked at the problems and thought of how to correct it, not why it's wrong. That's how you progress in life, complaints waste your time and others, and if you want to get somewhere in life time is very important, don't waste it. One of the expressions I've heard since I was a kid is that life isn't fair. How true is that? After fifteen years, I can say from my experience that it really isn't. some people start in better places than others, some problems are worse than others, things happen that just aren't fair. What I find funny though, is that the people that always told me life wasn't fair, were the same people I would always hear complaining about how things were unfair. In the example of the job last paragraph I said the person at fault was you. That applies to everything else in life. If you want success in life you are going to have to learn this very harsh concept, everything is your fault. Sounds rough doesn't it? Well let's go back to the first example, you're unhealthy, whose fault is it that you got unhealthy in the first place? You died in a game to someone using a over powered gun, whose fault was it that you were in the exact position that they could shoot you? You did worse than someone on a test even though you studied harder and longer, who took that got a bad grade? I think my point is proven. So every situation no matter how bad, can always be lead back to something you did, don't blame anyone, stop making excuses, the world is unfair, suck it up, and figure out how to fix your mistake, not blame someone else. Because that's not a easy way out, it's the stupid turns that keeps you lost. Even with those two reasons you shouldn't complain, there is a time when you need to complain. I was thinking about this writing for this whole week and thinking about it I came up with a thought I felt was true. "The person that always complains is hated by everyone, the person that never complains is hated by them self." I had a writing called "The Bottle", the concept was that people can't keep everything held inside of them because it hurts. This applies here, complaints are trash, if you don't let those complaints out they pile up inside you, it doesn't feel good, there are times where you can empty the trash. Find someone you trust and like, and talk to them about your complaints and problems, just let them out. Or you can open a doc somewhere and write out your complaints, just vent. With all that said I hope you stop complaining, stop blaming other people for things, and find someone or thing that you trust to let them out sometimes. I have been trying not to complain as much, and if you are a parent or older sibling reading this, teach your young ones not to complain, not to make excuses, it will help them a lot. Complaints are just a waste of your time and others, as I said time is very important don't waste it by complaining your life away.
