Maybe I never really left those days and this amazing little piece of happiness has been fooling me into thinking everything was changing this whole time. Maybe it's really a huge piece of happiness and I shouldn't let one bad day make me feel like things aren't changing for the better.Or maybe it's a reminder of what you left behind and how far you've come. I spent way too long living the life that others expected, and now that I have broken free of that, I look at the bad days very differently. Aside from how rare they are, is that they're just a reminder of what I almost never have to deal with anymore, and what I will not have to deal with at all in the near future. Which usually makes me feel pretty damn good.
Hang in there, buddy. It gets better because you know you're better.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
