Happy

Relaxing on a Monday afternoon at the end of a wonderful three day weekend. Life's pretty good these days. I think some people would rather see me down and not enjoying life as much as possible, but that doesn't matter now, does it? I say not. I can reflect over the past several months and see that while some days were less than great, more were enjoyable, memorable even. To trade a few days of unpleasant memories of friends past for many days of pure enjoyment in the world immediately surrounding me, I'll make the trade. It's been worth everything I've left behind, every one that couldn't stand beside me. There's not a chance that I could have ended up somewhere better given the circumstances of reality coupled with everyone's need to impose their opinions on me. Through all the moments where I questioned myself, or allowed myself to feel sorry, I've learned one thing - what my opinion on my life is...

Good news?
They never had the power to take that away from me.
In fact, I feel thankful they pushed and prodded the way they did; without them, I might never have been allowed to feel so happy.

“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence” --Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
