I've heard the talk over the years that people feel that because I'm bubbly and happy most of the time that I'm emotionally immature, in denial over... whatever...
I'm here to put all those incorrect impressions to rest, once and for all.
Yes, my life was full of turmoil, pain, abuse and it was hell. I faced it all, I survived it, I grew from it, and even had professional help in dealing with it. I've put my past behind me, which isn't easy to do. It took a long time and was hard, but I did it.
Now, every day I choose my attitude. I choose to be happy every day. The world will be what it will be, and I have very little say in how, as a whole, it works. I do have a say in how I approach every situation and I have chosen to approach this life, day by day, in a positive and happy manner. Who knows what each day will bring? I sure as hell don't, but I'm not going to begin or end it expecting the worst.
I choose to be bubbly and happy. I choose to tackle each development in my life the same way: positively. This life is a gift and I'm not going to squander it with petty shit. I gave that up when I decided I was done with "drama".
So, if you think I'm emotionally immature, take a long look at yourself and consider how you handle your own baggage before saying I'm not able to handle mine.
All my baggage is put away, I'm in the mood of creating great new memories and experiences. How many people can say the same thing?
