After months of being away I'm finally back. I've been having a pretty difficult time at the moment with tests, studying, stress and such. I'm feeling much more active and refreshed now. I can finally relax again and actually live a life. I'm completely over my depression that's haunted me since I was 13 years old. I mean, the way I look at people and the world and just life in general is just totally different now and I think I'm truly beginning to understand just how important, powerful and wonderful love and happiness really are - something I've sadly been ignorant of for so long. Throughout all the sadness, shame, bullying, torment and anger that I've been through I feel that I have become a better and much more sophisticated person at the end of it all. I feel that nothing can stop me now and that I can fulfill my dreams and ambitions and that no matter what I've always have people who love and care about me to me help me achieve them. I've learned that I don't have to do everything alone and can talk about my problems with others and that there's no need to isolate myself from other people. For years I felt that I've never been anything, I'd never live up to anyone's expectations but I guess I understand now that it's my own expectations I need to achieve and not anyone else's I guess no matter how difficult and upsetting the situation is there's always a way out of it.
