How I did it
It made me
feel very fulfilled. 
How I did it: I've always heard that you should just tell yourself "I love you" in the mirror. That didn't work for me. Different methods will work for different people, but I can't just directly state something and start living it if I don't believe it first.Therein lies the problem: I didn't think that I deserved my own love if I didn't live up to my expectations. I wanted to earn it. I wanted to know that I had a real reason to love myself. It's act… Read how I did it…
It made me
so much stronger.
How I did it: I fought severe depression and persistent suicidal thoughts through the worst few months of my life in college. Suicide was the ultimate urge to run: I just wanted all the pain to stop, worse pain and sorrow than I thought human hearts could feel or even imagine. But it also would have been the ultimate mistake of my life. Without living through those horrible months, I would never have come to experience the amazing joy and love that I u… Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: Through another goal: fight the urge to run when things get difficult. When you go through tough times, stick it out, and you will see first-hand that everything eventually turns out okay. So how can you NOT be positive that things will turn out for the best? Read how I did it…

It’s been a very long time since I last wrote an entry for this, but I am glad it is still here on my list and I am glad that I can come back to it whenever I want. Maybe I’ll even keep going to 100. It’s great that I have a record of great things that have happened in my life.
46. I love my boyfriend. He’s wonderful and has been the most soothing presence in my life, and my mood has stabilized greatly since he’s been around. He is attentive, thoughtful, and a wonderful listener, and he always makes sure that I am comfortable and happy and okay. I love most when he asks me if everything is all right, because I don’t always mention when I’m slightly unhappy or when something’s bothering me, and it just shows how he can sense that and immediately wants to make me feel better. He is amazing—he’s incredibly smart and is always (unintentionally) teaching me something new, and he has a good heart and always tries to do right by people. He’s very introspective and self-aware, and he can talk about himself honestly and we can talk together for hours on end. He accepts when he is wrong and is humble, but he’s very charming with everyone he meets. And of course, he’s very attractive (:
47. MY KITTY! My parents got a new kitty! I love the kitty. She’s a cute little kitty but she yowls at night. But she likes to play with string and I can pick her up anytime I want. I’ve wanted my whole life to have a cat and now I have one.
48. I got good grades last semester! Hooray! I’m excited for the next semester, because for sure I can do better.
49. I have a new job! I’ll get paid (very little) but it’s better than not being paid (which I was not before).
50. I get to be a part-time student next semester! Less stress and more time to breathe. I’m really grateful.
