Hello, world!

I'm actually happy right now. I feel good. I've been doing my best to look on the bright side of things, which is a really good change. I'm finding little things that make me happy every day, even if it's nothing but eating a piece of candy or enjoying a cup of tea. I'm also making it a point to keep myself hydrated, which has been a huge help. Drinking enough fluids is one thing I've struggled with for a very long time. Being hydrated alone makes a major difference. I feel much more awake and alive than I have in a long while, and I like the feeling.
Most importantly, I feel less helpless and hopeless. I'm standing up for myself more in small ways, but it feels amazing. It makes me realize that I don't have to give up. I can become more self-sufficient, which is really the only thing I've ever wanted from my life. It may be an uphill battle, but there is no reason for me to feel bad about myself, so long as I keep trying.
