I'm at a point in my life where I feel peaceful and content. Things feel okay. I'm okay. A year ago I was a lot meaner and angrier than I am now, and people were afraid of me. Once it was pointed out to me by the people that mean the most to me, I did my best to change my behavior. Now it just seems that I'm outspoken about bullshit. I stood up to myself and stopped hating myself and my body so much, going so far as to fake self-confidence (I've heard it works), and it was really effective. My health is still a bit precarious, but I'm growing to accept that about myself and that it's just how I am. Health isn't a reflection of one's character, it's simply a gift. It's been a long time since I've felt this way about my own life and it's such a welcome feeling. I'm going to stay in this mindset for as long as I can.

Anyone else have some good news they'd like to share?

This is wonderful. :'D It honestly made me very happy to read this and hear that you're at a good point in your life! Congratulations and cheers to you, friend!

That is really great! Thumbs up to you, I think I know how you've felt before this is wonderful that you've made it to the point you are now. Best wishes to you

This is such a wonderful, positive thing to read. I'm glad you're doing well! I guess you could say I'm going through something similar now; I'm working to improve my health, mentally and physically now. I've gotten very isolated and unlike myself the last few years, and it's time to fix it, while learning not to hate myself in the process.
