I like being happy. I've gotten so used, over the years, to thinking that "being able to cope with" a situation is as good as it gets, as close to happy as I will ever be, and when I have moments that remind me that it gets better than that, I'm always shocked. I'm going to try to hang onto this knowledge, and t always helps to write it down. I like being happy. My senior year was like learning to breathe all over again, because it was the first time in my life since very early childhood when I was happy in pretty much all areas of my life, and I had forgotten what that felt like in the last few months. I need to find that again. I like being happy. I like enjoying a day, and enjoying what I did, and enjoying who I was with, and knowing that the next day will be another day like it. I like that, and I don't remember that enough.
