looking towards a better future

you know I was just thinking, I'm sort of glad I went through this experience. It's made me able to help others who are in the same situation physically or mentally. I have a friend who is in a real bad place right now and me couseling him helped me just as much as it helped him. I learned that the best part of rock bottom is the only way to go is up, unless you want to take a chisle and dig yourself deeper, which is what I've been doing. Someone else may have brought me down, but it was me who kept myself down. I'm not saying that I'm cured, I'm just saying that my life is what I make it I can either dig at what happened back then (which wont help me it will just keep me there and feeling the same pain) or I can just look at the good stuff that I have going for me now. I know that life is going to have more ruts and potholes that I'm going to have to deal with in the future but I'm not just going to look for them I'm going to look at the beautiful scenery around me and try to avoid them as I go along but if I do hit one I'm just going to do my best to get out of it dust my self off and keep going.
