So, lately I find myself in a very good place. I'm happy, healthy (for the most part), I have good family and friends, and I'm gainfully employed (which is better than a lot of American people these days). As I drove around today running errands I thought about what it has taken me to get here.
Money problems, job woes, bad relationships, the end of friendships, the beginning of new ones, and the realization that life will always go on and it's not as bad as it may seem.
I've had to cut a lot of people out of my life and along with them, people who knew them. People I thought were friends, but in the end cared nothing about me or how their actions or words may have affected me.
I, in turn, have done things that aren't my proudest moments and that I am sorry for, but that have helped teach me the lessons I needed to learn about my own life and about me as a person. A one time friend said it best: "Desperation is a stinky cologne." Of course they also said: "Don't be desperate just be angry." which may work for some, but I would rather just be HAPPY!!
Understanding of myself may have come late, but at least it came.
Consider yourself lucky because chances are you might be!!!
