Achieving Happiness

I think I am finally obtaining the level of happiness that I had around the time that I was in high school, again. Obviously, there are many things left to do and accomplish, but I am finally in a good stable level of my life, and I need to just enjoy being here. You see, it is not that the rest of my years since high school have been bad, saving of course for my sophomore year, but it is more that they just really have not been as good as the few years before that. I have learned a great deal about myself since high school, and I have learned about a lot that I do not like, things I would want to change. I am not as optimistic as I was then in some fashions, but I would say I am more accepting of the world around me, and much more optimistic in many respects. I would say that one thing that has altered significantly about me from that time to this is my adaptability. There is nothing better than to be okay with any situation you are given, it makes you versatile, well-rounded, and better to be around. I am more confident than I was, and I am very happy about that. I was so unsure even during high school, even though I was happy, and this was very paralysing. Now, whether it is because of my living conditions, my friends, or just my general outlook on life, I am very happy about where I am, and believe that things will only very much improve in the future. I worry less and have more faith that things will work out. If they do not work the way I would have wanted them to, that is okay, I shall adapt and overcome, and I truly believe that.

Why am I writing all of this dreck, you may well ask? Because that is where my thoughts are for one thing, but also to express to everyone how well things are, because I am ecstatic that I finally can again. Life is better than it has been for so long that I miss it, and it is almost foreign to me. I hope there are those of you who know of what I am speaking. I also know that there is a long road to go, before I get to the point in life that I like, whether you call it enlightenment or what. It is with a glad heart that I write, and I am so happy to report that things will only be improving from hereon, we are in the primes of our lives, let us look back and be contented with what he had. Regrets I believe have their place in our lives, but one thing I have learned and am continuing to learn is that they should not dominate us, they should never hold us down and they should more than anything be tempered by hope.

Fortune favours the brave.
