It's amazing how just the little things people say can make all the difference in someone's attitude.
Lately, I've been battling my depression full force. I couldn't shake it and I was just falling deeper and deeper into the whole. Then, all of a sudden, I noticed that things in my life were kinda falling into place and that pulled me up some and I felt myself returning to who I am.
Then I began being myself again. You know how people put those bulletins on MySpace that you answer with a message? Yeah, well I've been answering those. And I try to answer them in funny ways because I want them to smile. Colton (my ex-almost cousin... long story) has been sending them out a lot and every time I answer one, he replies with "You're awesome" and just that two-three word comment sends me over the moon. I never thought that hearing someone say that to me would make me feel so good about myself.
Also, I got randomly complimented on Monday. I was eating breakfast by myself in the Brig, looking over my Math homework for that night and one of the ladies that work there walked past. I didn't think anything of it, but when she walked back past me on her way back to the Brig, she told me I have pretty hair. And that made my day.
What's more important is I'm happy that I can made my friends happy again. I don't focus on myself as much as I was and I want to help my friends and I want to give advice and I just feel like me again.
It's one of the best feelings in the world.
