"Taking responsibility for your life also means accepting the things you can't change. If you're short and want to be tall, or if you were born with some impediment or acquired one along the way, or if you find yourself in any particular set of circumstances that are absolute, immutable, and irreversible, then you basically have two options.
You can rant and rave and curse and indulge in remorse or guilt or self-pity. Or you can go with the hand you were dealt and play the game the best you can.
You can be open to the possibility that those who say we have chosen our circumstances are correct, and then set about figuring out what you can learn from your life by making the most of it.
Going within to find the meaning of our lives does not mean seeking to avoid the challenges our circumstances present. Rather it means finding the grace to learn how to live our lives to the fullest extent possible-whatever that is for us -and, in the acceptance, to move on to the highest level of growth we can." - Taken from random web page - short but sweet.

This is so bloody true. Time to stop sticking people. Over the past couple weeks I've gotten some kind of awakening. Indeed goodness. This is definitely a time to savour life. I have been giving pep talks and counselling to a couple people. Who would ever think I could POSSIBLY get depressed at the rate I'm going. Geezus. I so need me. Hehehe.
It is a tedious long-winded sort of thing but I really don't mind when it's people I care about. Wasn't I...just depressed? I suppose it goes to show you're never alone, and there's always someone worse off that you are. I can't afford to be depressed at these times - I cannot be because they need me. I'll be there.
