be happy

Today, I feel gratitude because, just like millions of other people in this world, I’ve felt pain, passion, love, heartache, sadness, and resolve. I’ve been given the ultimate gift: a chance to find my way. I feel lost, and this emotion is brought on by residual demons that are determined to claw their way into my mind and spirit. The difference between then and now is that I’ve come to know myself better. I have also formed a special network of people who support me and always bring me light when I’m drowning in darkness. I hope it’s true that one day I’ll be liberated forever. However, if and when that day comes, I won’t forget. I won’t ever — even for a moment — forget the work and determination that will bring me to a place of calm and peace. Until then, I’ll continue to find forgiveness for myself and others, and carve out a place for compassion in my heart be happy
