Happiness

Every now and again I have to remind myself to write about something joyous. It seems I don't really have the desire to write when things are good, mayhap I am simply enjoying the peace.

I am nearing the ending of volume one of my reign on this earth, and have never been more full of life. Destiny has this way of making you think you are screwed for a while, as if to make sure you are ready to appreciate the abundance of good it wants to shower you with.

I think the biggest lesson I have learned in the first 27 years of my life is that in order for good things to happen, you must feel you deserve them. And, in order to deserve these good things you don't have to live a flawless life; just do your best for those you love, including yourself. Intentions mean nothing- you can still hurt the ones you care for the most with good intentions. You can intend to be a better student, employee, or wife- and still end up dropping out, unemployed, and divorced. So, with this new leaf that the winds of time are turning over I will take my life one choice at a time. Not one day, one hour, or one moment- but consciously choose every second of everyday to be present in my own life.
