There’s a saying that goes: is the glass half full or half empty?

Your answer gives insight to your outlook in life and from there you can determine if you’re an optimist or pessimist.

My entire teenage life was filled with pessimism and my outlook in life was almost non-existent.

My glass wasn’t half full or half empty, it was shattered, broken and couldn’t hold water properly.

I always thought I didn’t have enough water, that I needed more in my glass but I’ve come to realize my glass is in my own hands and the amount of water in it depends solely on myself.

While my water was consistently leaking, leaving me close to empty, I couldn’t keep up with the demand of the water needed to keep me alive.

I didn’t know why my water was never full enough, why I always needed more. I couldn’t see that I could fix my glass so it stops leaking.

It just never clicked.

It took many years but I’ve picked up all the pieces and taped them back together. Glue couldn’t fill the empty spaces. Now my glass is no longer empty, no longer leaking.

I can fill my own glass of water and drink from it as well.

My journey in life is no where near over and while I cannot predict the time I have left, I will continually and consistently live as if it’s my last second and enjoy my life as much as possible.

Cheers my panda cubs.
