Everything that's right in your heart...

[fictitious_love]

I've come to the realization that I'm a lot stronger than I've been giving myself credit for. I guess I'd been through so much that I hit the breaking point and I just gave up, when I should have been doing what I'd been doing all along, and that's fighting my way through it with my head held high and happy. No matter how hard or terrible things are, I figure it's better to work at becoming stronger and more resistant and more adaptable to change than letting yourself give up and be miserable. I'm lucky to just be alive, and I am going to start showing it. I'm going to live in every moment and remind myself to kick life's ass when it's trying to get me down. Because I deserve to be happy, and I'm strong enough to fight against all the stress and irritations life brings on, because I've been through all that stupid shit, the terrible shit, and I survived, and I gained knowledge and strength and experience from those moments. I've just been unfocused, unwilling, and very unfortunately lost. I'm a smart, capable, young girl with a lot of talent and qualities and happiness to share. And damnit, I'm gonna share it.  No regrets, no depression, no anger. I'm just going to live and take life as it comes and make the best of it. And I'm going to make everyone smile as much as I can and I'm going to be happy and in turn make a lot of other people happy. It's good and healthy to be happy, and you can only be happy now, and there is never going to be a time when it isn't now.

It's now. Every single moment that comes is a new one, and a new chance. Every moment is your chance to start from now and just be happy. Forget the past. It's over. You have now, and now is the best time to cheer the fuck up everyone.

Just be.

That's all you have to do. Live.

And while you're living, why the hell not be happy, too?

I'm fucking happy.
