My own declaration of independence...or something...
When I feel down, I need to talk to someone who cares.
When I feel depressed or angry and need to release that negative of energy, I need to take a walk, exercise, write, strum my guitar. I shouldn't over-eat or drink alcohol or take something I don't need or buy something I can't afford and probably also don't need.
Instead of watching TV for a million hours a day, maybe I could read for some of that time. Take opportunities to learn something new.
I should be around people more. Enjoy conversations more. I shouldn't worry that I am being judged.
I need to take the love that I get and stop questioning it. I shouldn't ask for more. I have accepted the people in my life as they are. And as their friend or child or sibling or whatever, I have agreed to change with them and let them go when they need to be who they are. I need to realize that love doesn't go away when it's between me and my family and my friends. I need to trust in their love. I need to trust THEM.
Most of all, I need to trust myself.
This is it. This is that big thing I've waited years and years for. This is the point in my life where I, almost literally, sink or swim. If I don't work on building my confidence in who I am now, my life will never get better. I WANT TO CHANGE...because now I don't know that I have much else to lose. I have been beaten down enough, and I want to move on. I WANT TO MOVE ON!
