I have had a completely unscathed day, and I like it that way! I have had such a good year so far. It's so surprising, after the hellish year I had last year. I'm still having to deal with asshat, who I wish would leave me alone. But.... I don't know. I don't know how to say what I'm thinking. I guess since that day (Jan. 8th, to be exact), I've felt completely unstoppable. I suppose I have no one but myself to thank for that. I'm seeing the "small things" and appreciating them. I'm doing things that make me happy. I'm meeting new people. I'm learning to express/deal with my emotions, and actually understanding where they come from. I am learning that I AM worth living for.
They say that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can get back up and rebuild yourself. I'd like to think I'm doing that. My nervous breakdown from last October was my personal rock bottom. I suppose it was my saving grace as well.
I have no quams or problems with my parents and the way I was raised. (which, in many ways, was downright deplorable.) I have learned that now that I'm an adult, I can see things for what they were.
It's a nice feeling to not be scared anymore.
