I'm still searching for that damned thing called love, but even if I never find that, I've found that true happiness lies within. I have fantastic friends, who love and support me. And that makes for a fantastic life.

I truly believe that we do make our own happiness.

Yep I feel the same! I had to make major changes because I had so many problems that I'd never bothered to face that I'd just kept it inside and dumbed myself down mentally to try and stop caring. They built up until they pushed me down to rock bottom and I didn't know how to deal with them, 'cause I'd just been using a good friend as a crutch through it all. I lost that friend but at the very end they convinced me to stand on my own two legs, fix my problems and make my own happiness. It was the best advice I've ever had.
