revelation

so i'm realizing i am actually happy.
i am happy with the person i am becoming and i am growing into the person i had wanted to become for so long around people that are not going to judge me.
not that there weren't people back home who didn't judge me, but they came few and far between.
i do not even need to mention their names, for they know who they are.
i am changing and doing things for the good.
becoming less passive, more aggressive, and less willing to just be everyone's fall back person.
i hope and i pray that when i am out of this environment i can keep up with this, and not revert to my past ways.
i NEEDED this. and i am going to make the best of it.
learn from my mistakes. but also learn that i am not perfect and cannot and will not make every single person i meet happy.
to learn that it is I and only I that i that i have to be content with and to know that i am only accountable to myself and no one else at the end of the night
to make decisions that make ME proud.
i have had a lot of uphill battles, but i have not let them break me.
i thank God everyday for that strength
i am making the best of it.

and that is what happiness to me is.
for now i truly am HAPPY

i guess i am becoming an adult.
but not even many adults can say they have done this.

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
