Value

Today has been a very good day. I don't know why, I don't what what changed, I can't put my finger on the moment it started happening, but I am changing for the better. It's been happening for a while, that much is clear, I'm not at the beginning of this path anymore.
Honestly, I'm just done trying to be anything other than what I am. I am a beautiful, young, vivacious, social being. I am overflowing with love, passionate about what is going on in my life, and I am just trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. But I will figure it out. I have my whole life to make who I want to be in the future a reality. And if it's who I want to be then, I'm going to start living with that confidence now. Why not? It's amazing how much power confidence can wield over our happiness. And with raw confidence, I don't feel like I need to dress or act any certain way to fulfill someone else's requirements for a sufficient life. I want happiness, not material things. I'd rather be happy with my family, friends, and who I am (including basic appearance) on a day to day basis than be happy with what I have or the possessions I could show off. Everyone should just stop every once in a while and reevaluate what they put weight on in their lives. Money and possessions? Or things of greater value?
