I sit here and I listen to the washing machine spin, and the dish washer rinse. I watch my bird as she gives herself a bath. Out the window I see a family of ducks invading the court yard and slowly pushing the loud annoying kids off the swings and back to riding their bikes in the parking lot. I feel the cool breeze through the open patio door along with the sweet smell of fresh cut grass. I feel at peace with myself. I feel very happy and pleasant. I'm doing well in my hardest class. I realized that I am much happier when I cut out those things that depress me or bring me down or change my mood in any way that doesn't make me happy. I barely drink now. I prefer to have a clear head on my shoulders. There are a few people who I no longer talk to now and few who I haven't talked to in awhile, I'm talking to again. I've decided that everyone has problems, but I'm not the person to fix them. I'm sorry if you have relationship problems. I can't fix it. If your not willing to try on your own and fix them well then you may deserve what you get. Just because your depressed doesn't mean you have to make me depressed. I am happy. I live with some one who is willing to take care of me. Willing to spend his money on me, and take me places. He takes care of my animals. He loves my bird. He also loves my chinchilla. I never thought of him to be much of an animal man except maybe dogs and cats. He buys me games for the play station and buys me movies. He fixes my car and buys stuff for it. He really does take care of me. I'm lucky to have him.
