I can almost smell the dirt in the air. The air messes up my curled hair that took too long to end up falling because of the annoying, unnecessary breeze. It feels like I’m surrounded by annoying, unnecessary things.

It’s annoying that after I went to cheer practice for four hours, I have to come home and do two hours of homework. And eat dinner. And shower.

It’s annoying that after I planned on getting invisaligns, I find out that I’m not a possible candidate. I’ll become a braceface around the time that all my friends are getting their braces off.

It’s annoying that wearing an outfit is just one step closer to having to do laundry. Laundry is such a long process, and I’m too impatient.

It’s annoying when I have to get up early in the morning for school. I require a little more sleep than what’s possible for me to receive.

It’s annoying when people are always happy. It makes me feel like I’m too sad compared to their sunshine and rainbows.

It’s annoying when people clap after the movie ends. This isn’t a theatre production; nobody is going to be offended without a standing ovation.

It’s annoying when I have to go to relatives’ houses for birthdays. It seems like that’s the only time that they want to see me.

It’s annoying when people only talk about themselves. There are more important things happening in this world.

The most annoying part about all of this, is that it’s not that annoying. Deep down, I know that there is more positive than negative that comes out of these annoying, unnecessary things. My mind automatically goes to the “glass half empty” situations instead of realizing the good in these things. I know that I’m trying to see the positive …
… but to me, the negative always overshadows the positive.
