I have this friend that is quite funny and cheerful. Well, she has a problem with her mood. Sometimes, she could be sad or feel unhappy after a few minutes of happy moments shared between us. I thought she was going to change someday and it seemed like a 'no biggie' thing to me until something happened one day.
We decided to go to a mall to shop for a close friend's birthday party. At the entrance of the mall, a teenage boy made a silly remark about her sarcastically. He said,"Girl, your eyeballs are bulging like that of a toad. I guess, you just woke up and rushed down here... Good morning!!". Some girls were laughing behind our back and I was smiling too. The funny thing is that we've never met the boy before and I thought it would end there, we'll just pick up our stuffs from the mall, pay our bills and have fun for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, it didn't go well that day, she took the boy's words personal. She dashed out and said she wasn't shopping anymore. I thought it was all a joke until she left me stranded. Thank God for 'the good Samaritan' that paid my transport fee. When I got home, I had to tell her I wasn't pleased with what she did. To my greatest surprise, she didn't feel remorseful. She said she was in a bad mood and couldn't even listen to me. It was really unbearable for me, I just had to let her be.

There's one thing we should strive for in life and that's consistency. Being moody is a selfish way to live. We all have emotions and feelings, being ruled by our emotion is an immature way to live.
Your will is stronger than your emotions,rule over your emotions. Don't be happy this minute and sad the next minute. Never take out your mood on someone else. Life is too short to deal with a sour attitude. The fact is that everybody gets upset but we've got to manage ourselves and adjust. We all have flaws and problems. We should all learn to be happy because if we are sad, it will drag us down and rob us of the gift of a wonderful life.
