It's 57 degrees outside currently.
The sun is trying to peek out behind the clouds.
My headspace is okay this morning.

I was looking at quotations from Ghandi and the Dalai Lama early, early this morning while talking religion with Setsu. Both men had/have very positive outlooks on life.

Something I was talking about with Sabrina and Tybis last night was that Symbols are a very important part of how I live Life.

I also need to load up the RENT soundtrack.

It is okay for me to validate and put words behind my feelings. Giving them words and presence takes them out of my mind and makes them concrete issues I can deal with in a logical and reasonable way. Sometimes, you all may never see them. Many times you will, though.

This is why my headspace is okay today. Over the course of the weekend (and a few clue-by-four reminders), I have been reminded to own my feelings and that no one can make me feel depressed, worthless, or unloved unless I allow them to. I know that I am worth something to many people and that people do love and care for me, even in that platonic-no nookie-friendship sort of way. I know all the same that I am not the easiest person to deal with. I have my moments where I am very much a big ball of snarly or bristly, but those are part of who I am. I'm not all fluff and purring kitten all the time.

Mostly, though, I am in control of my Life and the direction it's going in, and if nothing else, the past six months have shown me that Life is indeed what we make of it, and I intend to make the most out of what I have been provided, and even surpass the expectations of those around me.

Go, go, Gryffindor! *cheeky grin*
