"You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else."

For the first time in a long time, I am happy with my life.
I am content, and for me that’s rare. I finally feel like things are falling into place…slowly but surely. I’m nervous, but I’m ready. I’m feeling like wonder woman. Although I have a long way to go, I have come so far and I’ve worked my ass off and I couldn’t be more proud of myself because it was far from easy. Depression after my mom’s death took over my life. It still hurts..it always will, but she is right by my side through everything I do. I just pray that this feeling lasts.
