I'm embarrassed of 2006. What a year it was supposed to be! Graduation, Cinthia, Zavy... so many golden opportunities I didn't take advantage of because I was so obsessed with my self pity and depression. What was so bad that made me hate life so much?

I guess I could ask that about my life now, really. What's so great and fantastic in my life that makes me happy every moment of every day? I'm not in school. I'm working a 30 hour a week job that pays just barely above minimum wage. I'm obsessed with World of Warcraft and my Shaman, Drogada. I just broke Corey's heart because I don't think we can work it out anymore. Mom and Dad are divorcing. Dad won't/can't stop drinking. I'm a raging pot head. But you know something? When I look over that list, I can't help but smile. Who cares? I could be so much worse off than I am now.

There are so many things in this world to be grateful for! The little things! An Eric Clapton song on the radio, a freshly packed bowl, an orc Shaman in Tier 9/9.5 gear, a phone call from my sweetheart who is 1,303 miles away, cold pizza for dinner, the fact that it hasn't snowed yet.... What is there to not love? I would in all honesty say that I'm worse off now than I was a few years ago, and I'm so much happier.

Who knows what's happened to me, but I'm positive that it's saved my life. :)
