The world's a rollercoaster.

Despite a recent string of unfortunate events, I am happy to report that I am happy.
Yes, my car decided to go on vacation. And it's true that I'm dealing with something within myself that I have not faced for over five years.
But times like these make you count your blessings. Times like these make you cast your pride aside and learn to ask for help. Times like these make you realize how lucky you are to have people in your life that come help you when you finally buckle down and ask for help. I'm grateful to have these people in my life. Sometimes, I forget how lucky I am.
It's funny how different pieces of my past come back to haunt me at different times of my life. It made me realize something about myself-I never really solved my problems. I left them unfinished, or denied they ever existed. Unfortunately, ignoring problems do not, in fact, make them go away. They just take a back burner for a few years then hit you hard when you least expect it. It didn't seem like it at the time, but this is a good thing. It's forcing me to handle my unfinished business. Better late than never, I suppose. So here I am. Finally "fixing" myself the best I can. Reinventing a piece of me.
There are people in my life that I want to keep in my life. And I realize that in order to do so, I can't let this rule my life the second time around.
But I'm okay with all of this. I'm okay with everything. I didn't spend a few years on my own, becoming a strong, independent person to let this ruin me.

Maybe I'll actually start writing more often...we shall see.
