Today was the first day that I truly loved myself.

It's been such a long time since I've honestly been able to say that I love myself that I'm proud of the person that I've become. I've gone through so much in the past two years of my life, and I'm so happy that I survived it all. Everything that I've gone through in the past two years has made me stronger and smarter and I don't regret a single thing that I've done. I've been cheated on with my step sister. I've been cheated on after a year and half long relationship. I've dated a girl for a year and a half and only saw her maybe twice every two months. I've gone through alcoholism with both my mother and my step dad. I've gone through being gay/straight/bisexual. I've gone through losing a grandfather to losing a close friend. And guess what? I'm still alive. =]

Today was the first day that I can truthfully say that I was 100% happy. There wasn't a second that I wasn't smiling or laughing. My friends used to tell me that when I'm happy, I have a natural sunshine, and that it's contagious. And they all noticed my pure happiness today. I woke up this morning and I told myself "I am going to be happy today no matter what." I realized today that there is absolutely no reason for me to be sad anymore. I should be happy that I haven't become suicidal or depressed because of the things I've gone through. I feel in love with myself today, and I've never felt this happy before.

I've never felt more alive then I do today. I love myself.
