I woke up this morning thinking, "Oh my god, I'm so freaking old now." And then I thought it over for a second, and I was like, "...Oh well." ;P

My life has been so. good lately.

(With the exception of some relationship drama, I mean... But... ehhh. I probably shouldn't talk about that.)

Seriously, though. I feel like I've just got so much more energy for everything lately. I used to be so exhausted all the time, never wanting to do a damn thing and just watching passively as everything around me seemed to fall apart. It goes hand-in-hand with depression, and the worst thing about it is that you're conscious of the fact that you don't want to be that way but you don't see any way to get out of it.

Fortunately I have experience dealing with that sort of thing, I think.

I guess when you find a way to get over yourself, move on and finally take control of your life and be who you want to be, those things seem to... dissipate, somehow. The days stop being such a collection of exhaustingly difficult moments stretching out before you, and morph from not so bad, to manageable, to ... maybe, just a little bit enjoyable. ;)

Granted some good things have happened to me lately which does account for quite a lot of my current outlook. But more than that I just... genuinely feel at peace, yet energetic.



Also, for the record? I have. the sweetest. friends. IN THE WORLD.

(Yes, that includes you guys.)
