Well I've been getting advice from people that the most important thing in finding love is to find happiness within yourself.

AHA! Then I'm in luck!

I just won another battle with depression. It was tough, and I took a lot of blows, but I'm okay. No tell-tale scars this time around... It's weird to be okay. Of course, it's not the first time, or anything! It's just weird to see the sun after so many days of darkness. It's refreshing.

And I feel good. Is it true happiness? Who the hell knows? Who cares? All that matters is I feel great, and I know people here in Morris can tell, since they've been receptive, smiling, friendly, etc. I've made some awesome new friends, who are very sweet and fun!

I don't know. I just feel... good. Assured of myself. Who knows why? I mean, I still have a broken heart, but I know it will take a long time to heal, and it's not in the way of my happiness and my ability to get to know a potential date. It's just... in the background, you know? One of those things that will be a part of me until I've learned to love another. No, I think it'll still be there... Just not in the way. Kind of like being raped. I have been raped, but it doesn't take over my life. I can learn to love another, in spite of my past. I can over come, because I am not overcome. Haha!

Take that depression!

Amen, Much Love, sorry this was short and confusing
