giggidy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm happy finally. Very happy. I'm really thankful too, because my parents were sweet enough to make it happen for me. I fell really fortunate. I started going to community college when I got out of high school, and two years after that I received an AA. I chose to commute to a branch campus and live at home when I transfered to a university for my last two years. I worked really hard and now for the summer I'm taking my last classes at the main campus in the middle of Seattle. I have met the most amazing people in my dorm and I feel connected to people for the first time in my life. When I was little, I always wanted a big group of friends that I could relate to. It was hard though, and I ended up making friends with random people who had the same problems/dilemmas. Now, it feels so natural and wonderful to have really close friends that I can laugh with and be myself around. It makes me happy just thinking about it. It helps too, because its been a year since my last relationship, and I still think about her. I think about her because it seems like we are so much alike and we have had so much of the same problems in our life. I'm happy for her because I know she's experiencing the same thing and it probably makes her feel the same way. I don't know why I do this, but it is easier to connect to my own emotions when I project on to the emotions of others. I don't know if that is troublesome or not... Regardless, I feel really happy. I never thought I would feel this way after being depressed for so long. But, like Chuck Palahniuk wrote: A moment is all you can expect from perfection. Link to comment
