You deserve to be happy!
Thank you so much to all of my friends who are being so supportive of me during yet another rough patch. I get myself into a nightmarish merry-go-round and have trouble seeing the big picture. I realize that I have made lots of mistakes, big and small, but so has everyone else. All I can do is try to be a better person moving forward.
My mum has been especially patient with me. In the end she's always there to dust me off and help me get back on the horse. She gave me some really good advice about how to deal with my feelings of paranoia and inadequacy when it comes to dealing with people one on one. It's a little mental trick I play on myself so that I can be calm and loving to anyone. I've tried it out today and I really feel that it's working.
You know, I'm starting to believe that it's true - the key to happiness is all about having the right attitude. I know that I am a very lucky person and that not everyone has so many wonderful people to support them when they're ready to give up ... but I really think that if you look at the big picture and how a certain situation fits into it, positive thoughts make all the difference. You don't have to sit in the boring old swan seat just because some mean kid pushed you off the white pony ... you can get out and switch to the dashing dapple grey horse or you can just take that palomino and ride it on outta here.
Thanks to the universe for sending me such wonderful people to travel with.
I apologize for the cheesiness of this post. I just finished watching Scrooged. That is my excuse. Of all the actors I've ever seen, Bill Murray is the most genuine, sane and beautiful. He makes me feel all sappy about how wonderful life really is.
