I'm doing 24 things
tonight as i started to fall into the depression that has become so familiar to me since my boyfriend died, it occurred to me that i have no reason to mourn, and no reason to fear. what i have found to be happy about today is my realization that every moment of my life is beautiful, no matter how mundane that instant may be. as luck would have it, just the right genetic combination brought me into existence so that i may smell, taste, hear, see, and feel this amazing world that surrounds me during this short life. my happiness today comes from my new understanding that i do not need to mourn the death of my dear friend, but should celebrate that he had the opportunity to live at all; what i am happy about today is that i have found reason to be happy for the rest of my life
