Out With The Old

[laurenluvsocean]

I started reading back on my old entries last year, and I was so surprised at the content I found. There was a lot of good and special stuff. But there was some really miserable, nasty stuff in there too. When I look at the person I am today I realize those sad and angry entries don't represent me at all. I could have deleted them, but the bad stuff shapes your life as much as the good stuff does. So instead I made all my old entries private, to keep as a record and reminder of how I want to live my life - happily, and with a lot of love. To everyone who read my entries before I escaped the clutches of teenage angst, know this:

I am happy, I am loved, and I love others.
I am confident and thankful for the gifts this world has given me.
I am determined to be the the best person I can be.
I have good days and bad days, just like everybody else, but I'm learning how to roll with the punches and appreciate this beautiful life as much as I can.

Best wishes to everyone,

Lauren
