Breathing is easy

I went through a slightly pessimistic stage, (argh argh argh)
but got tired of just standing on the platform of life,
watching everybody and everything pass me by.
I am finally realizing that when we are broken, 
our sharp edges cut the others,
and letting our emotions run our behavior 
without applying any sound reasoning is not an approach
 that typically gets good results.

I need to remind myself that the world is full of beautiful things and
interesting conversational topics dying to be discussed.
I am much stronger than depression.
I am not afraid to sleep now.

Everything is somehow a bit better. ..... or so it seems.

Today, I'm grateful for:

* Being alive.

* The most amazing person that my father is. 

* Light, because it allows me to see colors!

* The woodpecker outside my window that wakes me up every single day.

* My homemade gnocchi. - Cause nothing beats homemade!

* Having my sisters as my best friends. 

* The free hugs from everyone.
* Adrenaline rushes.
* Believing myself.
* The full moon!

* Kind strangers.

* My bosses's compliments. 

* The man with the beautiful smile, who keeps trying to make me smile.
