Last year my grandfather passed after nearly a month in the hospital. When he was gone and the task of selecting the casket and planning the funeral was given to my grandmother, mother, aunt, and two uncles fights of every kind began. My lovely James and his family became my safe place to fall back to; and I felt totally loved for the first time away from home. Now they are my family, I see them more often then my own parents for many reasons.
To spite everything that I have been through in my life, not only am I still alive I am happy. Through 2 murder attempts on my life, being raped, beaten, abused, and they dying a few hours after my daughter was born I am still here. Mind you we are talking this is a lesson learned over many many years. *over 10 years*
I have also learned that everything in life happens for a reason, even if you don't know why.
Never compromise 'me' time. (some might call this accepting one's limitations, but it's not a limitation. It's just me time.)
The times I've tried to ignore my body's requests for me time, I've ended up with mono, dropping out of school, mentally farked, etc. I can do what I can now because I know when it's time to say: I'm going home to play with my cat. Goodnight.
Definitely that if you wear a smile, you'll feel like smiling. My mom is (sometimes overly) optomistic. She always told me that if I just had a good attitude about stuff, it wouldn't be so bad. As a kid, I never wanted to believe her, but as I went into adolescence, that attitude carried me through a lot of tough times. It still does...along with it goes the attitude that everything will be o.k. eventually, as long as you keep wearing that smile. Hope this helps! :)
Sorry, Norah.... I was just checking my backdated friendpage, and saw this. I was all set to reply when I saw that I'm about a week late :-\ Whoops. Hope that went well for ya.
So given that VT shan't be happening this year, is it a safe assumption that ye shall be joining me upon the streets of Caer Leon again? =D
