I have a traumatic brain injury and severe PTSD. They told me that would cause me to be very angry a lot of the time. To be honest, that pissed me off a lot... 😁🤣🤣😁 ironic, isn't it? The day that the doctor said that to me, I made a decision. I was NOT going to let this affect me adversely. I chose happiness! It's the only logical choice and I deserve to be happy. It hasn't always been easy, but I am a very happy person!! It feels great. It was worth all the effort and reprogramming of my physiology that it took to be who I am. I'm telling you this because I see so many people here in the Tumblrverse who are sad or angry. It saddens me because they deserve to be happy, too!! I want them to know that I overcame feeling that way. My brain was not supposed to be able to do this, but I did it anyway because it was very important and I refused to accept that diagnosis. Life is too short to spend it in any other state than happy. Happiness is a choice and it's the right choice!! If I can change my physiology and be happy, you can make the changes you need to make to be happy, too!! If you don't know how to do that, I'll be happy to help you, if I can. It's mostly about your attitude and not giving up on yourself or your happiness... Refusing to lose... Learning to find the beauty in adversity.... Changing negatives into positives... Reprogramming your responses... Forgiveness.... Stuff life that. I hope that this helps even one person find their joy. I have lived through a lot... injuries and abuse and there's no logical reason for me to still be such a happy person except for the fact that I chose this path. It's worth the effort and it feels great!! Please, choose wisely and live your best life no matter what challenges you face. You can do this and you will do this if you just believe that you can and you put in the work!! I just had to share this because there are too many people who seems to feel trapped in their current circumstances. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step... please, take that step today... take a little step or a big step or many steps... just keep moving forward and you'll get where you want to be!!! It's okay to rest in between, too. Self care is imperative!! Just do your best and you're on your way!!! I'll be here if you need someone to talk to or someone to listen. Together, we are stronger and together, we can do amazing things!!🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 Remember, you are in control of your destiny so make it a great one!! You got this!!
