How I did it
How to be happy
It took me
17 years
It made me
Happy!

How I did it: It starts with acceptance of self. It's taken a long, long time to kick myself out of self-pity and doubt and suffering and insecurity, but I looked at myself one day and said, "You are beautiful. No one else is you. Be happy. You will be happy."Of course, it sounds much easier than it was. Read how I did it…

be happy
On Being Happy 11 months ago

I’m generally a miserable person. I can find things to be sad about. I cry at everything.

But one day, I sat down, and thought to myself: It’s easy to be upset. It takes someone strong to look through all the suffering, and enjoy it. I cannot-and will not-let anything, anyone get me down. And ultimately, it was myself and the way I saw life that was pulling me down.

And so, I decided I am going to be happy. I accepted myself (my flaws, my strengths, my weaknesses) and said, “it’s okay. You have a lifetime to work on your flaws. You have strong points to help you. You will be happy.”

I’m still changing and growing happier<3

I was saving this for my last day of high school, but why wait when there’s a New Year coming? I want to change and I need a change.
