new day.

"if children have the ability to ignore all odds, then maybe we can all learn from them. when you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? we have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell."

i love the feeling you get when your life just pulls itself back together. its nice knowing that i have complete control again. and its nice to know that i won't ever lose that control to someone else. i promised myself that i will no longer do a few things that i normally inclined to do:

- i will not get walked all over.
- i will be a bigger person.
- i will fight through this, no matter what the outcome.
- i will no longer project the feeling "love" onto someone simply because i am lonely and they seem easy enough to get along with.
- i will live each day like its my last.
- i will do what i want to do and not listen to or change for anyone.

i am my own person. when it comes to my life i know that i have a purpose and i will live my life the way that i want to live it, not for anyone else. and my life (no matter how short it may be cut) is just that, mine.

when it comes to relationships, i know i will fall in love again, true love that is. and until that happens i am going to have as much fun as possible. i am not waiting around for love, if it finds me great, if not, i am young and i am going to act that way.

when it comes to friends, if they don't trust you, leave them. my friends are amazing and i will never forget these people or what they have done for me.

when it comes to family, i know that these are the people that won't leave my side. i know they will be the first to be by my side. i just hope i don't disappoint them.

as for those people that feel the need to be negative, fuck you. look where i am now. if you really know me and still feel like you are better than i am, that you know my story, then you weren't even worth it in the first place. and for the other ones that just want to run their mouths, you only made me stronger.

this is my life. this is my battle. and yeah, i might not always feel up to it. but today i am feeling pretty fucking strong.

this is my first day on the route to recovery.
