� Happy � 2003-02-12 � 8:43 a.m. �

I've never had to force myself to be happy.... I've never had to convince myself that brighter times are on the way...

I am just comfortable in the fact that life is a trial... the people around us our jury, and consequence will forever be our due. I am ok with that.

I am fine with who I am... though tattered and beaten - sore. I am fine with the girl who looks back at me. She knows so much and won't admit it.

I am comfortable and within it all, I've never settled. For that, happiness finds me.
