Determination.

I've decided to stop being such a coward. And to stop being so whiny! If I tell myself I'm happy, I'll be happy. Listen to happy music! Look at happy pictures! Get out in the sun every once in a while! Tell myself how lucky I am for certain things and not how unlucky I am for other things! Don't dwell on the bad, and don't dwell on my own failures and shortcomings. I am as I am, no changing that! One makes one's own destiny. Work hard so I have no regrets later on. Finish each day and be done with it.

Hold my head up high and be proud of who I am, whether others like me or not. The only opinions I need are my own and those who care about me.
