Let’s Get Positive

It’s unbelievable how much it takes to get me down — almost as though a whirlwind of positive energy has swirled through my mind, creating peace, and relaxation, and happiness. Positive thoughts lead to more positive thoughts, and consequentially a beautiful balance.

I don’t feel alone, I don’t feel irrelevant, I don’t feel pain. I feel proud of who I am and what I am doing, for being genuine and individual. For doing things, no matter how great, that make me more content with myself. For trying harder and starting over, forgiving and forgetting. There is a sense of headway, a contagious and churning belief that I can do anything, if only for a moment, I can do it.

I am someone. Not just the girl that you write postcards to, or hear from occasionally, or read about on the Internet. I am more than waiting for phone calls or dwelling on excuses. I am more than failed assignments and beauty products, size six-and-one-half shoes and photographs. I am more, I know — just what, I’m not certain. But I am worth it.

Suddenly it’s OK to be me.
