[ life is good ]
I feel the way you feel after you've taken a nice, long bath. I feel free. I feel renewed. It's like I've finally woken up and realized that life is not going to be this way forever.
I know I'm going to face some major changes soon, but I think the change has already begun. And I'm okay with it so far. It's like I said, change is the way you feel after a long bath. But I have a question. After you've washed the filth away, would you actually miss it? Why would you, if it made you feel hot and sticky and sweaty? Would you be sad to let go of the memories you wash away with the filth?
I've undergone a major change in scenery. I don't know if I ever will come back, or if this is the way it's going to be. And if you're wondering why the title of this post is "life is good", it's because it is. You know, there's a saying that change is the only permanent thing in the world. I believe that. I believe also that there are good changes and there are bad ones. So far, the change of scenery has been good, and so life is good too.
To all the people who have made a difference in my life, thank you. That means you too, thank you. I owe you five years of making me the way I am. Thank you for teaching me about how things don't last forever. And to those who took me in and shared their friendship during the past two days, I am eternally grateful. You have shown me that I actually have a lot of great friends behind my back, and I don't need to stick to just one. I know now that I have many people I can turn to, thanks for showing me that. Thank you for making today and Friday two of the best and most memorable days of my life here. When I thought I was going to be miserable, you showed up and I actually had a load of fun because of you! A big thanks to K, R, A, A, and K.
Sitting in my room
Feeling sorry for myself
I can't feel worse
Well what else? I wonder what I could say
To stop the voices, taunting and laughing
The way they're acting I wish they'd just disappear
The joke is always on me
It's always on me
Why don't they understand
That we are all the same
And we all feel lost at times
Why don't they understand
That someone else's pain
Is not for gain
Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Get out of the way, I'm invincible
Throw them down
'Cause the one you hurt's not around, not around
It's not your place, honestly...
In the end you'll be the victim
You're the one who has to live with yourself
And when you're reaching for help
There'll be no one, there's no one
I won't live in chains, I've got something to give
I won't play these games, yeah I'd rather live
You know I've come too far
To be like you are
Why don't you understand
That we are all the same
Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Get out of the way, I'm invincible
Throw them down...

Well, that pretty much sums it up. But remember that I am also a human. I can get hurt too, but I won't let it stop me from living.
So it has been a nice, long bath. Of course there was freezing water, but it only served to wake me up. The only question is, will I miss the dirt?
This has been a positive post. Hooray for me!
