Happier

I'm probably going to end up sleeping a little later than usual tonight, because I really need to get this out.

Been feeling a little excited about life lately. Happier even, you could say. There's a certain level of enthusiasm I feel when I think about the future.

There's still a lot to overcome in terms of a lot of different situations I seem to be in presently, but as of now, at this very moment I feel safe -- and that for me is an accomplishment in itself.

These past few months have been a little bit of a struggle. But it's made me find a great many things about myself as a person that has pushed me forward.

Today, I express hope as well as a great deal of love. For the future and for everybody in it.
Because today out of every other day in my life I believe in myself more than I ever have before.

I don't know if this is the cup of coffee I had earlier that's talking but I do know that I'm starting to feel a little proud of certain aspects of myself, of who I'm becoming and I can't begin to express how rewarding it is.

Something to know about me--I've never been able to accept compliments easily or at all to be honest and I've realize now that it's probably because I've never given any to myself. I've never really thanked myself. For anything really.
I have started to though, and it has made quite the difference.

I have people to thank for even this little bit of progress to my person--close friends and all my family, and I'm sure most of you are reading this right now.
Thank you. I appreciate you so much.
