My life. My happiness. My choice.

Throughout my life, I've been diagnosed with:

  • ADHD
  • Depression
  • Giftedness
  • SPD (Sensory perception disorder)
  • OCD (more of a case of my friends diagnosing me than myself.
And, throughout my life: 

  • My parents have each been divorced. Twice
  • I've witnessed abusive relationships
  • I've had my share of heartbreak
  • I've been to 6 different schools (I'm 15)
  • I've been through 5 psychologists.
But what I'm trying to say, is that I'm not letting any of these things affect my happiness because I believe happiness is a choice. No, I haven't had a white-picket fence childhood. No, I'm not perfect. But I'm happy. Happiness is a choice. Every moment is a choice. To live or not to live. And when I say live, I don't mean to be alive. I mean to actually live, and enjoy yourself and not merely exist.

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day once said: "You don't know what the future's going to bring. I mean, I don't have a f***ing clue.I don't know what the f*** i'm doing. I don't know where the f**k im going. I never f***ing do.But the important thing is sometimes to think about the future, but stay in the f**king moment at the same time"

I love this quote, because everybody either lives in the past or in the future.

What I'm trying to say is that my happiness is my choice. People can obviously affect it, but ultimately, nobodies going to make or break me except me. 

Its my life, and I choose to be happy. What do you choose?
