The first.

I feel like my mental life is composed of two wardrobes. One filled with dark light, the other with white light. In the last couple of months as I've withdrawn myself from some of the more negative influences in my life, I feel like I'm finally scrubbing away at the black stains at my feet. Things are becoming lighter more positive. I'm cleaning out my dark wardrobe, and organising the light. Im finding myself filled with a kind of peace that had never occurred to me as possible. Where I not only feel okay, as I had hoped, but relaxed and filled with the enjoyment of life.

There are new aspects to life that I'm discovering. It's incredible. Not only am I becoming aware of things that I didn't know were possible before, I'm even able to embrace them. Being able to define myself by my own perspective and by the world, rather than how I was raised is an amazing release. I am thankful for my upbringing because I'm happy within who I am, but I am so excited to be taking the lead from here.

My life is mine now. Carpe Diem!
