Day 6

          While having a conversation with a fellow coworker, I realized that I am always fighting. Fighting for someone to love me. Fighting to protect my fragile heart. Fighting to prove my worth. I have been fighting the world. When did the world become such a terrible place? Why shouldn't I be loved for who I am? Who will attack my heart? Why do I think I'm not worthy? I don't want to live my life afraid of everything. I want to live in a world of beauty. I want to live in a world of amazing adventures. I've been surviving my entire life, but now I want to thrive. I want to live.
          A few weeks ago, I watched The Secret in my General Psychology class. Since then, I have watched it several times over. I never quite understood HOW to think positively, but each day a make little improvements. The more positive I am, the better life becomes. I do not know if this is because life really is getting better or just my perception of it. Either way, I feel better about my life, like it is good. Such a strange thing for me to say, a good life. I had always hoped I would say that, but I never believed I would. So, raise a glass of champagne to a life of beauty and adventure. The journey has already begun!

Lesson:
It is better to learn to embrace life than to fight it.
