I've been smiling a lot lately, laughing more than ever taking in all my surroundings. For the first time in a long time I am confident in myself again and I am surrounded once again by beautiful people who actually care about my happiness and my well-being. For the first time in a long time I do not fear sharing my secrets because I know that I can trust these people with the world itself if it were entrusted to me or if it were mine to give away. For the first time in a long time I am truly, completely and wonderfully happy. And it's been a long time since I've gotten what I wanted but for the first time in a long time I'm getting what I need and that's even better. And as I sit here in the dark, I unwrap another piece of chocolate and I think to myself with a smile: I don't deserve all this happiness, but I will gladly accept it anyway.

Life is good when you stop and think about it.
