You've realized that your body isn't your enemy or your prison, but an instrument you can train and refine. I think that's pretty awesome.<br /><br />You've also embraced the fun of being a girl. That's awesome, too.<br /><br />(WARNING: what follows may sound simplistic and stupid. But it's true to my experience.) <br />When I was younger -- through college age, really -- I struggled a lot with depression. I still have, literally, the scars to prove it. I wallowed in my unhappiness, made unhappiness part of my identity. I wore black clothes and listened to sad music and drank too much and sought out drama. And then one day I had an epiphany of my own: being sad wasn't fun. I decided to embrace happiness. I didn't WANT to be depressed.<br /><br />Turns out that it is more fun to be happy.<br /><br />I can't say that I never felt depression again, but the only times it's grabbed me have been when sad or disappointing things have happened. Situational depression, rather than depression as a default personality setting.<br /><br />So what do you think will happen if you decide to be happy? It would be an interesting experiment!Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319015365750440674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-25112945772920753082010-02-05T16:28:05.034-05:002010-02-05T16:28:05.034-05:00I believe in the power of positive thinking.
Ok, ...I believe in the power of positive thinking.<br /><br />Ok, I know that sounds corny and generic, but its true. When I start focusing on all I have going RIGHT in life, those little "wrong" things just don't seem to matter.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665644808858115598noreply@blogger.com
