Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. - Abraham Lincoln

I've been really busy this week so I'll keep it short for now. I'll post more once things settle down a bit (I'm thinking probably Saturday night, if not sooner.)

Ok, I think I'm fully recovered from this bout of teenage angst. Figured stuff out, made some decisions and moved on. I think I'm going to like the way things are turning out much more than the way I had originally wanted them anyway. I'll put the situation in as simple terms as possible:

girl likes boy -> boy is being confusing and girl can't figure out what boy thinks -> girl hold out hope for a long time -> boy is still being confusing -> girl decides that she's waited long enough and moves on

There you go.

So, now that I don't have to worry about what some guy thinks about me, I'm going to concentrate on being myself and being who I was created to be. It's nice not to be always worrying about such things and just concentrate on who I am again. I think I might've lost sight of that for a while there, and I'm glad to be getting back to the basics. Now I can concentrate on what's really important to me instead of what other people think should be important to me.

So to sum it all up, I've decided it's time to be happy. No more broken hearts, teen angst or appeasing other people to get what I think will make me happy. I alreayd know what makes me the happiest, and it's time to go back to that.

"I know I've worn a thousand costumes in my life,
I know so that no one else could see me deep inside,
And you go and peel away the perfect faces,
Dust me me off and then you say 'It's time to be yourself'"
