Oh, snap!

It didn't take a lot of time before I realized that being bitter towards my parents about my situation wasn't making me or my parents any happier.

It's not their fault that I didn't get good grades- it's mine. Pushing my frustrations back at them wasn't constructive, and now I get that.

I mended things with the 'rents and since then I have been a hell of a lot happier.

I've started to think about what I do and how it affects the big picture. Like what small actions will ultimately get me my desired result.

I can complain about something I don't like but does that help me get what I want?

I can't believe that it's taken me this long to reach this mentality.

Bottom line- I feel happy now.

I am cheerful even though I have friends that are far from me, and that I miss.

I feel hopeful now, excited for what the future has in store. I feel alive. I feel cheesy.

And damn, I feel good.
