"Things don't need to last forever to be perfect..."

"People will tell you that nothing matters, the world's about to end anyway. but those people are looking at life the wrong way. Things don't need to last forever to be perfect..."

- Day Dream Nation

"You want to make God laugh? Make a plan"

"Everybody dies but not everyone Lives"

"Without struggle, there is no progress" 

-Frederick Douglass 

All of these quotes have come to mean so much to me over the 12 months. They have been difficult ones. I have gone through possibly every negative emotion possible. I have been torn down and ripped apart to what I thought was my core. I have been on every edge and at every state of fear, frustration and desperation. But, by the grace of God, with amazing friends, and an unbelievable determination of Will I have come through it all. I've come through it stronger, better, and more secure. Not in life, or in the future, but in myself and my ability to make it through heartache and despair. 

Happiness is something to strive for. Something I am striving to keep. In this moment I am happy. Happy to be alive, happy to be who I am, happy with where I am going in life. Happy with who I have in my life. And Happiness is something I will work to maintain.
