This is my awakening...in this real world I learned that there aren't always fairy tale endings, that sometimes bad things happen to good people, that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin within me, that in order to have clarity we only need to know what we really want in life and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance. Acceptance of the things that we can no longer change, the courage to stand still and fight for things worth fighting for and the eagerness to become a better and stronger person... This is my journey towards finding happiness & serenity.. this is my life & I'm living it to the fullest.
