Thoughts...always so many thoughts...I don't even always know what's racing through my head.
For a long time I was emotional, bursting into tears at a simple greeting from my dad or someone looking at me the wrong way.  I was afraid of losing friends and making new ones.  I've been working so hard on changing and some days, weeks, months, even years maybe are better than others.  People have left my life (some high school and college friends) and people have come in (the best husband ever and some other good friends).  I'm working on figuring out who the good ones are and valuing a good friendship with a few people than having a lot of mediocre friendships with a lot of people.  I don't always have someone to hang out with which really bothers me sometimes, but maybe I need to learn how to love myself and be okay with being alone.  Today I was not looking forward to spending the night alone, but I went to a happy place (target) and ate dinner with some Friends on tv and am now listening to my thoughts and it's kind of nice.  I've also been pinning lots of inspirational pins on Pinterest...

Day by day I'll keep working on myself.  I'm choosing to be happy, strong, and confident.  I know I'll stumble, but I'm learning to stand back up.  No one and nothing defines me but what I choose to do from this day forward.
