... and it's oh-so-sweet when it does.

Had a talk with a former "friend" the other day. And I must say, while some people feel worse after speaking with an ex, I haven't felt this good in a while. In all the ways I thought my life was off track, I've found that I'm so lucky in so many other ways.

We make decisions in our lives, and we can only hope that they turn out for the best. In my case, this painful experience that has been haunting my mind, waiting in the background for me to deal with it. All the questions that simply boiled down to a "why?" However, when analyzed closer, I found that dispite WHAT happened and WHY it happened... my life kind of took off after that.

Putting it simply, I am who I am today because of it. I can only imagine what my life would be like now...

But all in all, I realize that I have so much to be grateful for right now, and sometimes that's just enough to bring you back up to where you belong.

So because I'm so fond of listing, here we go...

Why I'm happy right now:

- I live with the coolest 'rents in the world. I love them so much!
- I have one of the coolest people in the world to text message to all day. (Who knows WAY too much about my personal life, and I about hers...)
- I have a respectable personal life... which is more than some people can say...
- I have an awesome job!! FAMILY HOUSING, WHAT WHAT!!
- I have an awesome car.

and hell, I'm just fucking awesome right now.
