Life is simply delightful right now. I’m really happy, and for no particular reason. It’s not people or events that are dictating my happiness anymore; I think that is the difference. I’m more unaffected by things, but not in a numb way like I used to be. The good things defiantly impact me, but it’s more of when a bad things happen, I’m not crushed. I can kind of look at it and realize that it isn’t the end of the world and I’m still happy with life and myself. I’m not all emotional, except for happiness. I guess people were right when they said that you have to like and accept yourself to really be happy. Because for the first time, shall I say ever, I actually like myself (gasp) and have a surprising confidence. I can substantiate my own happiness. I don’t have to rely on others to make me happy, which is wonderful, because other people end up letting you down. I can be by myself and have a blast, and if other people want to do something, that’s cool also.
I want to begin looking at everything I do with an attitude of openness and optimism. I feel like I can actually accomplish things now, and I take pride in my accomplishments and have a much greater hunger to learn more new things. I got my green belt on Tuesday, which is wicked awesome. Today at karate, I got to learn my new form that I have been wanting to learn, Pinin cholin. Ki cho Young was getting kinda old. I learned it really quickly, and got many congradulations for it, and I was quite excited. I enjoy karate so much now. I think green belt is like the dividing line where it starts getting really cool and intense, and I’m excited. Prom is tomorrow, and I hope it will be much fun.
It’s weird. In spring, I’m normally really depressed. But suddenly, I love spring.
