It's a process

In the past few days, I have been through every emotion known to man. I was devastated, hopeful, forgiving, happy... and everything in the middle. Some days I believe I am moving in the right direction, and other days, it's like I have gone backwards. I struggle to forgive, to move forward. Yet, I am determined to keep going. After losing everything... my confidence, my security, my boyfriend, my best friend... I have no where to go, but up. Happiness is a process. It comes and goes with the seasons. While we do the best to capture it, it slips through our fingers. Instead, all we can do is create our own happiness, which is exactly what I am working to do. It's a new school year, a fresh start. Everything is different, including me. Nothing from the past has to be carried into the future unless I decide that I want it there, and I am only bringing the good things with me.
