God help me stay positive...

I read so many blogs, notes, statuses, that are so full of depression or anger or self-pity, and I'm trying really hard not to do that, because it annoys me so much to read it, so how hypocritical that I make others read it from me?
But at the same time, not all of life is rosy, and sometimes it just plain sucks, and if I'm trying to be honest, wouldn't it be hypocritical, too, to deny that part of life's existence?
But also, I'm trying to find the good in the bad, so perhaps, a little of A, a little of B...
For instance...

I work three to five evenings a week, baby-sitting for my girlfriend Irina, and her two children, David and Anita. David is three, Anita is seventeen months, and at times, they can both be a handful. Also, the pay really isn't that great.
BUT...
I feel my parenting skills are improving, and I really want to be an expert on my kids--dream big! :)
I AM getting paid, so even the little bit I get is still good.
Plus, I'm learning Russian, and even if it's only little things, like telling them to 'Be good' or 'Eat' or asking 'What,' it's still pretty awesome, and I love it.

Someone very close to me told me he hated me last week. Completely out of the blue, and unexpected, and it was like a break-up all over again, except worse, because we're so much closer than a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
BUT...
The next day, he apologized, reaffirmed that he loves me more than I can imagine, and we bonded over his favorite television show, and I think, because of this little hiccup, we just might be closer than ever.

I visited my friend Marissa at her school in St Cloud, and it seems every time I go there, we have to watch the dumbest movies--'College' and 'Knocked Up' to name a few--and there's no staying in for dinner, so I have to spend my hard-earned cash instead of saving it, because, hey, a girl's gotta eat, right?
BUT...
I always have a lot of fun when I visit, even with the dumb movies.
I'm meeting new people, being sociable, which is hard for me, but I'm learning.
And if I spend a little money, well, the whole fact of being in college makes everyone on the verge of broke, so it's never a fancy restaurant anyway.

Sometimes it's so hard to find the good in the bad, especially while the bad is happening, and I can't always see it, even after...
But I really don't want to be a negative person, and I don't want to become bitter and angry like I see so many of my friends becoming...

God help me stay positive...
