Negative - Positive

So, if you didn't know. I'm ridiculously optimistic. I've seen enough down times in my life to realize that Complaining Doesn't Fix a Problem! It leaves you with more problems. So today i was pondering on the type of influences we have in our lives. Negative and Positive influences, I’ve seen them all. When people say that it is best to stay with positive people, they'll influence you better, I say bull. We all know that there are positive and negative influences in this world, let's not play shy. You can be the nicest girl on the universe, but still know all the tricks of the trade when it comes to being 'bad'. Doesn't make you bad, not at all. Knowledge is power; to know only broadens your awareness. I wish I knew everything! I’d be able to make the best decisions of my life. But, I must say, I know a lot. I thank God for negative and positive influences. Because i see people going downhill, and i know how they got there. They've made their tracks, and I’m sorry but I’m taking another route!
