Hooray!
This is my 133rd post. This calls for celebration!

I love celebrating things: birthdays, pie day, Earth day, Tuesdays, Weddings, 4.0's, solving a Rubik's cube, Target, numbers, parks, art, and most importantly LIFE. (more on this later)

But what makes 133 so special?
Well, you might also ask yourself what makes 75 or 100 so special. Okay, so maybe YOU don't ask yourself that, but I did. I mean, they both only come up once in a blog post lifetime, so why should one be more special than the other?
Likewise, why shouldn't there be cause to celebrate every number? Every post? Every day?

Today I discovered something.
I LML.
AKA I love my life.

Actually, I love life in general. It's so incredible. I always ponder human interaction when I walk to class every day. How each of us co-exist and help one another and partake in each other's lives; whether it be a big roll or small.
It's so complex, it just blows my mind. But honestly, it all boils down to the commonality of the human experience. We're more alike than we are different, and that's what I love about being human. No matter what situation you're in, there's somebody who's been through it. No matter who you're talking and interacting with, you share some experience in common.
It makes me feel so safe ,because if there's one thing I hate more than change, it's being lonely. I know that I'm not alone.
I'm never alone.
It feels so good to know that. :)

I posted a while ago abour breaking free from people and things that were holding me back.
I'm here to tell you that I've essentially done it. I haven't felt this at peace and full of life in years. It's so incredible that I want to sing and dance every day and share the gloriousness of life to everyone. I have been really trying not to complain as much because honestly, I feel like there's so much to be grateful for that I can't waste time thinking about the stupid things that I dislike. It's tricky, but I'm learning to be patient. :)

I really like being optimistic. I've always been kind of a downer, but recently my view of the world has changed and me with it.
Instead of grumbling that it's Monday, I really like to wake up and say, "Oh Monday, what surprise will you bring me next?"
It's empowering to let my attitude dictate how my experience is. Attitude determines altitude!

I owe it all to a few close friends who stuck it out with me through the rough patches. I will never be able to repay those people for the mercy they've shown me. They saved my life in numerous ways and showed me that life IS a party and even I deserve to enjoy myself. Sure it's hard, but the hard days make you a champion. (I don't know about you, but I'd like to be remembered as a champion.)


Here's to you.
May life grant you your wildest dreams and keep you sane enough to enjoy them.
Cheers~
