Journal 17.

Dear journal,

today is a new day. I will smile more, laugh more, overall, enjoy life more. I have decided that life is too short to feel depressed. I am putting this chapter of my life behind. I have a new journey to start. I am not going to waste anymore of it by feeling sad. I have a lot of potential. I want to use to help this suffering world. I have an amazing life. Today is the day where I give up old ways. I am going to give up my anger and self-doubt in myself. I am on a mission to accomplish my goals. Nobody is going to stand in my way. Today is the day where I begin to love myself. There is no way that I can love anyone without accomplishing this task. I have to love myself no matter what. That is what matters. The only person I can depend on is me. Life is a journey. I am in control of my thoughts and my emotions. I have to let go of grief and start my life. There is no turning back. I have come to far. I will take this sadness down to the ground. No matter the distractions. I have faith in myself. There is no reason that I should be depressed. I am in control. I am about to graduate college in December, and that is one heck of an accomplishment. Not many people can say they have done that. I have an amazing life with many people who care about me. Today is the day of my new journey where I will live my life to the fullest. That is all we can do with the time we have. Life is a gift. What if it were to end tomorrow? Each day is a gift from the heavens. There is something in the universe that is out of our control. There are not many things in this life we can control except for our overall well-being and what we choose to do with that. It is time for everyone to feel this way and to accomplish their tasks and stop wasting time to feel sad. This summer has given me much perspective on how I want to see my life go. And it is an amazing path with amazing people. Don't give up!
