Individual choices

Of all the things I’ve ever done in my life, I’m the most proud of choosing to live honestly, every day. It has brought me so much joy, happiness, and allowed me to bring joy to others around me. I cherish my happiness, savour my sadness, revel in my anger and frustration, and truly live my solemnity and reflection to the fullest.

I laugh at the juvenile thoughts of my childhood and what I thought my life would be. Of-course, it resembles nothing of what I thought it would be; it has become so much more. My life is greater than I could ever have imagined, and I truly appreciate now that I live a complete life, a good life, and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

Self-indulgent? Of-course. I will indulge my happiness just as much as my sobriety and despair. Both are equally important in life, both are wonderful powerful things to experience, and I’d be a fool not to celebrate happiness and sadness both, every opportunity I get.

Just in-case some of you folk who think yourselves the darker types, I appreciate your perspectives from where you are right now, but don’t dare mistake this entry as one that overlooks darkness. I lived with that for two years, something that most of you actually won’t ever have to face, and you’re the luckier for your ignorance, no matter how petulant it makes you seem some times.
Does that sound aloof and elitist? You bet, and I deserve it too after what I went through. Should the day come when you endure it too and come out the other side, you’ll understand. Until then, just accept the fact that your life actually isn’t as bad as you want everyone around you to believe it is.

I just couldn’t help myself with that one now could I?
